Welcome to AP Literature. It is important for us to get to know one another and to have a good and trusting classroom environment. So, here is your assignment:
Write an essay about an event in your life that will be engaging for readers and that will, at the same time, help them understand the significance of the event. Tell your story dramatically and vividly.
Since we cannot post this to the blog, please save it as a word document and attach it to an email to me. No comments for this weekend.

The Beet Queen
The Beet Queen
Read the first 6 paragraphs from this novel written in 1986 novel by Louise Erdrich. Read the passage carefully. Then write a well-developed essay in which you analyze how Erdrich depicts the impact of the environment on the two children. You may wish to consider such literary devices as tone, imagery, selection of detail, and point of view.
Also, the exam is this coming Wednesday. Now is the time to start looking over your MWDS's that you have done over this year, and last year if you have them. Choose 5 of your favorites, or 5 that you think will be useful. Starting today, read them over daily so that they are fresh in your mind for the exam. It will be well worth it!
