Connections...other
literature, art, life
Surprises...self
explanatory
Questions...any type of
authentic question which allows for discussion
Provide a portion of
quote and page number to go with each.
I will be out Friday, April 15, and Monday, April 18
because of a surgery. During that time, you should read and annotate pages 139
(beginning of chapter 12) to the break towards the bottom of page 213 (which is
about a third of the way through chapter 19).
We will do a Beloved AP practice test today or
tomorrow (15 questions and 30 points). I
have read through it carefully, and I will tell you that I already plan on
curving it, so don't panic if you struggle with a number of the questions. You
will have 25 minutes. I am providing an
AP vocab sheeet tailored specifically to these questions. You will learn in the process of taking this.
