Today in class:

We discussed and started preparing for the Free-Response Prose Question on Tuesday.
I will post the Power Point for today's lecture under my "Power Points from Lecture" tab. The Power Point is titled "Approaching the AP Free Response" Prompt.
To further prepare for the prompt, we read a prose text from a previous AP Exam, and analyzed how we would go about writing a POA/thesis for this. We wrote a thesis and POA together as a class, and will continue writing topic sentences and body paragraphs together Monday. Our goal is to write an entire paper together for practice.
Other than that, please stay caught up on your Short Story Notes as I will collect those in about another week. Date TBA.
Finally, continue project work on Metamorphosis. I look forward to seeing those presentations tomorrow!
