We will plan our first (pseudo) timed essay on "Prophyria's Lover" by Robert Browning.
I will review the writing rubric - all documents are posted for download at left (writing rubric, rubric descriptors, AP Essay planning guide). We will complete the AP Essay planning together and then write in response to this prompt. If time allows we will view a short video on tone and style. We will review the readings for week 4. It's going to be week 4 already!!!
Ok - so due to the low number of people in class today I opted to wait on the previous assignment until Monday. We conferenced individually about Reader Response Journals and everyone was given the opportunity to revise their week 3 RRJ (it is due for Monday 2/9/09). Everyone had the opportunity to get abhead start of the week 4 readings - we discussed "Thanatopsis" by Bryant. Thanatopsis means a meditation on death. Break it down - annotate, annotate, annotate!!!! You need to begin to read CRITICALLY!!! That is the goal of this class.
