November MOR (due Dec. 1)

A list of all works that have been suggested on the AP exam since 1971 can be found at this link (most frequently recommended works are also listed at the bottom).

For November, please read a Classical text (another Greek play such as Electra or Medea [see here for list], or the Aeneid, etc. The Aeneid is the epic poem about Aeneas, who leads the remnants of the Trojan people; they flee the destruction of Troy and go found the city of Rome.)

Remember to write 4 entries per person, with at least 250 words per entry, analyzing quotations and literary devices, and discussing each other's questions. Remember to deal with the significance of the work's ending. Thanks!

(There will be no MOR required during December.)

Crime and Punishment Reading Card

Let's complete this first reading card as a class--future cards will be completed individually, because you'll remember your understanding of the books better if you put the notes in your own words.

1) Go to this Google Sheets document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PaCt94XW47eCobqwM3VU1TWqbcqwmMrp9Zyd5l37BcM/edit?usp=sharing

2) Locate which topic(s) you have been assigned. Thoughtfully and thoroughly add notes about that topic as it functions toward theme in Crime and Punishment.  If there is a useful C&P quote that illustrates your notes, you should include it, but quotations are not required.

3) Due before school Wednesday.

Music Mondays

Music is literature, and musicians use the same literary devices to develop their purposes. See these examples for ways in which lit devices in lyrics can be analyze to show how they are supporting the son's message/theme/tone/etc. Enjoy!
