Honors American Literature:
Although we are still working on the American Dream documents and concept in class, students should begin bringing home The Scarlet Letter to read. Students will have their first quiz over the first six chapters on Friday, September 11th. Although we will be working with the book some in class, I have shared resources for students to access outside of class as well to help with their reading. Please see my website for more resources.
AP Literature:
This week, we will practice writing for the AP Exam. Students will construct a timed response to the first Free Response Question: Poetry. We will continue our discussion of poetry by discussing tone and learning the AP strategy of SIFT.
On-Level American Literature:
Students are still reading documents and discussing the multi facets of the American Dream. This week, our focus will be on rhetoric, rhetorical strategies, and Aristotle's appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos).
