Final Advice for AP Exam

Two additional things not on this list.

• Be sure you have 2 or even 3 of your favorite pens.  Dark blue or black ink.  No exceptions. 
• Re: Part II, Question 3:  if you know and can write on a work listed, that is the safest bet because sometimes students substitute something that does not actually fit the parameters of the question.  But of course you can use something else studied at school that seems to work.

TODAY IN CLASS
Full period:  Multiple Choice practice exam

• Will count (slightly adjusted) as assignment grade; thus must be made up if you missed it (regardless of whether you are taking the actual AP exam or not)
• If you miss class tomorrow, you can come by tomorrow to see where the missed items clustered (if there was a pattern
• You can check particular questions if you wish, but I'm not actually giving these back

FOR TOMORROW

Be studying.  

If you'll miss class tomorrow, utilize the hand out you received today to think through how  Crime and Punishment could be used in an exam setting for Question 3.  Some would also apply to Tess. Students will participate in a short "speed-dating" exercise using this hand-out during class tomorrow.

Choices from this year:

Franz Kafka--Metamorphosis (best to use only if it's on the list)

Joseph Conrad--Heart of Darkness

Henrik Ibsen--A Doll House

George Bernard Shaw--Pygmalion

Mary Shelley--Frankenstein

Fyodor Dostoevsky--Crime and Punishment

Thomas Hardy--Tess of the D'Urbervilles

Choices from last year (only if you pick one tonight and review!!)
Nathaniel Hawthorne--The Scarlet Letter
Mark Twain--The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
F. Scott Fitzgerald--The Great Gatsby
Harper Lee--To Kill a Mockingbird (in years past I'd have called this too "young" a book for AP Lit, but it was actually on the list for last year's question)

Do not write about Harry Potter, Hunger Games, or Game of Thrones, volume anything.
