In-class work for week of 9/14/09

This week we will continue our study of Crime and Punishment, and begin our literary elements presentations. We will also work on our college application essays. Monday, September 14 we will be discussing a fabulous short story titled "The Lottery." We will discuss relevant literary elements and practice doing a close reading of the text. We will also look at this text in juxtaposition with Crime and Punishment, and some of the lager questions and themes arising in both. We will begin to discuss a larger issue regarding the role of literature as social commentary.

We will also begin to discuss the multiple choice section of the AP exam.

Looking ahead: College application 1st drafts will be due next week. Practice multiple choice test and analysis.
