Good morning! Here are your reminders for the week.

As you can see, some of the link lists on this page have been shifted to the bottom, since we have completed those units. The links will continue to be available at the base of the page. 

For Monday, October 21st, the assignment is posted at the right under "on-going" poetry assignments. For the next few months, we will have practice explication assignments every other week or so, regardless of the unit of study we are in. 

BRING YOUR TEXT, Things Fall Apart, for Tuesday, October 22.

Don't forget your ALLUSION PRESENTATIONS are looming on the horizon, due November 7th/8th. (The presentation order will be random, so be prepared to present on the 7th!).

IF you are choosing to redo the AP Practice essay from September, here is the prompt:

"And, after all, our surroundings influence our lives and characters as much as fate, destiny or any supernatural agency." Pauline Hopkins, Contending Forces
Choose a novel or play in which culture, physical, or geographical surroundings shape psychological or moral traits in a character. Then write a well-organized essay in which you analyze how surroundings affect this character and illuminate the meaning of the work as a whole. Do not merely summarize the plot.
