If you are looking to further refine your skills and continue prepping this weekend, here is my recommendation:<br />
<br />
Try another "Essay the Way it Should Have Been Written" exercise -- p.45-53 in the brown AP workbook. (Read the poem, read the sample essays, read the scoring explanations, and then try your own). <br />

I'd like you to FIRST read p. 114-122 in Dr. Vogel's brown AP workbook, and after considering what others have said, write your own essay -- the one you think <i>should</i> have been written. <br />
<br />
Suggested writing time: 40-60 min. <br />
<br />
Suggested length: 3-4 handwritten pages<br />
<br />
Skills to practice:<br />
<br />
1. AP: Answer the Prompt!<br />
2. AP: Analysis, Please! -- focus on tone, style, syntax; get down to the "word level"; demonstrate "flowchart" thinking (WHAT-->HOW-->SoWHAT?)<br />
3. Embrace complexity: consider using an "although" statement or other similarly binary thesis statement<br />
4. Use quotes: a substantial number or "apt and specific" references to the text; integrate phrases; use some quotes as "sentence finishers"; consider including editing punctuation and citations [ ] ... / (Line 32)<br />
5. Reveal <u>what</u> the passage says and does, <u>how</u> the writer does this (diction, syntax, tone, etc.), and <u>why</u> it matters (or <u>so what?</u>)<br />
6. Show off a little: now is the time to show that you know how to use a variety of sentence beginnings; how to use the active voice/active verbs; how to use fancy punctuation and stylish ways to combine sentences to create clear, concise, accurate prose; and how to employ rich, specific vocabulary -- you can do it!<br />
<br />
Traps to avoid:<br />
1. Avoid simple, empty restatements of the prompt (such as the line "the author uses tone, diction, and syntax to create meaning")<br />
2. Avoid generalities<br />
3. Explain what is on the page, but don't overstate things just to sound dramatic -- precision counts in your analysis<br />
4. Don't overlook the obvious: if a character is repeating herself, say so, and explain it; if the narrator is being sly or sarcastic, say so and use it; if a character is monologue-ing as a series of rhetorical rhetorical questions, then say so, and explain why it matters<br />

after declaring that he was going to think only “bloody” thoughts from this
point onward. It was going to be pretty difficult to do anything about
Claudius from England, though. What odd,
offstage plot device sends Hamlet back to Denmark (IV.vi)?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">How are the tone and
content of Hamlet’s two letters (to Horatio and Claudius) different? In
particular, what is does Hamlet’s diction imply in his letter to Claudius
(IV.vii)?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Claudius thinks perhaps
that Laertes could kill Hamlet “accidentally” in a fencing match.
Claudius suggests that Laertes could just sort of happen to choose a
sword “unbated,” or sharp, as opposed to the blunted weapon Hamlet would be
using. Pretty crafty, Claudius. What
does Laertes add to this plan in IV.vii.152-161?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">OK, so Laertes is crafty
too. But Claudius suggests they should have a “second” option, which is …
(162-176)?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

described in a hauntingly sad, sweet monologue by the Queen (IV.vii.181-198)
dominates the ending of Act IV. Does is come across as swift karma for
Laertes’s evil plotting? Does it seem
like a logical or inevitable extension of her descent into madness? Does
she, perhaps, take her own life?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Water is sometimes a
symbol of purification, sometimes destruction, sometimes cognition or deep
intellect -- sometimes simply a natural, elemental symbol. Which is it
here … or is it all of the above??? Use
specific text details (w/line#’s) to support your thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Feeling bold?
Sketch a little image of Ophelia’s death and label some of the key
details. (Not feeling bold? Do a google search of Ophelia or Ophelia’s
death and annotate a classic rendition of this scene … or several of them if
this is intriguing to you. Which parts are right out of the text, and
which parts does the artist embellish?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Note: this next sentence
completion question is an attempt to get you to consider the significance of
the <i>juxtaposition</i> of the death of Ophelia with the Gravedigger scene
(V.i.). We no sooner have processed the tragic death of Ophelia, then we
have the “Clown” gravediggers debating whether or not Ophelia … (V.i.1-10)!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I recommend eating a nice healthy breakfast first while glancing over your lit. terms packet. Remember to read the poem at the "word level" and to answer the <i>whole</i> prompt (use the "how" and "so what" to fuel your thesis statement).<br />
<br />

FOR D-Block: Please re-read <a href="https://www.noblesoul.com/orc/texts/anthem/complete.html#A11.0">Chapter XI in Ayn Rand's </a><i><a href="https://www.noblesoul.com/orc/texts/anthem/complete.html#A11.0">Anthem</a> </i>(the one that begins with the line, "I am. I think. I will.") <b>Write a 1-page response</b> to this chapter in which you explain the main character's philosophy. What does he understand now that he didn't know in the beginning? What does he value, and why? What are his plans for the future, and how have his hopes and dreams changed for him? Using details from the text, explain his new ideas about the "meaning of things" (11.4) <i>Note: if you get stuck on how to respond or what to write, you could get a little help from the author herself by looking up her own definition of her philosophy called "Objectivism" and considering whether Chapter XI fits her definition ... or, of course, you may do this entirely on your own because after all ... <u>you</u> are, <u>you</u> think, <u>you</u> will :) </i>mr._gauthierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08707810934020167950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413494051547937121.post-68974893406667311332018-01-12T08:15:00.001-08:002018-01-12T08:15:46.592-08:00HW 1/12: Poetry Terms and POL Poem #2<i><b>In the Lit. Terms packet</b></i>: identify ALL of the terms you think might be applicable to poetry, then make some tough choices to create your own list of ten (10) to focus on. My suggestion would be to identify ten that you think will be the most <u>useful</u> -- the ones that will best help you unlock the meaning of a poem. For what it's worth, I will share my personal version of the list on Monday.<br />
<br />
<b><i>For Poetry Out Loud:</i> </b>Learn your second poem, and prepare your "What/How/SoWhat?" thesis statement to share with the class. <br />

It would be a good idea to take a few notes (in particular character names) about key pieces of information that Equality 7-2521 gives us. We'll have an assessment on this reading when we have class next. </span><br />
