This Seat's Taken: AP Lit, December 4, 2012

Focus: Whipping your mind into shape for the AP Lit exam

1. Announcements!  Please take an AP Lit book and write your name inside.

2. Describe the AP test to me.  Then read pages 3-5 and start yourself a "Review Sheet" in your composition notebook, jotting down anything that may be of use to you.

3. Previewing the poetry multiple choice:

• Look briefly at the questions BUT NOT THE ANSWERS.  What types of questions are there?

• We will read "Dover Beach" in think-aloud form.  

• On your own, complete the sample multiple choice questions on "Dover Beach" (273-275).  You may write lightly in pencil, but please erase your markings when you're finished.

• After you have finished, please write on your review sheet any terms or vocabulary words that you don't know. 

4. Discuss answers and strategies as a large group. Jot down useful strategies on your review sheet.
