Great day in AP Language! It was so long since I'd seen you last, that we had a lot of stored up energy for today's work. Today we began Unit 3 and looked at WEB DuBois's From the Souls of Black Folk. This is one of our main texts for the next few units - it's foundational. We'll keep coming back to it and focus on ideas related to identity and perception and self-perception. The conversation we had and ideas we derived were quite rich. Go back to the recording or collaborative slides to review.
We ended class by looking at a video related to the social context for the novel we're studying, The Great Gatsby. Over the weekend, read Chapter 1. Focus on big ideas, characters, and the patterns that you're noticing in the literature. Annotate with post-it notes or on paper to track your findings. Consider how this book is a reaction to the moment of the culture of the 1920's.
See you on Tuesday! If you missed the timed write, we can make it up next week.
