AP English III
I hope that you all enjoyed working with Ms. Alley today on your analysis of "The Death of the Moth" - I was especially impressed by the connections that you made to The Great Gatsby as well as to "The Oversoul". Making these connections when you study literature is so important and good to do!
For the weekend you have a few things on your plate:
- Finish reading The Great Gatsby - ensure that your covers are fully annotated and that you have thorough annotations throughout the text.
- Read A. Petrunkevitch's "The Spider and the Wasp" - you do not have to read and prepare this piece for class discussion; it will only be used for your writing assignment.
- Complete the graphic organizer using mostly direct quotations from both Woolf and Petrunkevitch.
- Write your compare/contrast assignments on the TONE used in each of the two pieces. Here is the question that you should consider as you are writing: Both Petrunkevitch and Woolf chronicle the death of an insect but in vastly different ways. How does the author's tone establish a difference in purpose? Your graphic organizer and typed, compare/contrast assignment will be due on Thursday.
In terms of long-term planning, you will have your presentations likely on the 10th of November, your test on the 13th, and we will begin our study of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on the 17th - go ahead and get yourself a copy now.
