Inspirational Quote: "Your graduation marks your passage into adulthood--the time when you begin to take charge of your own life. It's when you get to decide what's important to you: the kind of career you want to pursue. Who you want to build a family with. The values you want to live by...And, given the current state of the world, that may be kind of scary...So if the world's going to get better, it's going to be up to you" --President Obama (from his 2020 High School Commencement Speech)

YOU'VE GOT THIS!! THE AP ENGLISH LITERATURE EXAM DATE IS TODAY WEDNESDAY, MAY 13TH (check-in is 1:30pm! Exam actually starts at 2pm, but you MUST check in 30 minutes beforehand) I'M SOOOO PROUD OF ALL YOUR AMAZING PREPARATION!! YOU'RE GOING TO BE AWESOME!! GOOD LUCK!!
PLEASE GO HERE ASAP: The AP EXAM DAY EXPERIENCE AND AP EXAM DEMO and WHAT YOU NEED ON EXAM DAY (including an important checklist
REVIEW YOUR NOTES ON THE AP VIDEOS, VOCABULARY, MY SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT ON PAST ESSAYS, AND ANY ADDITIONAL NOTES THAT YOU FIND HELPFUL FOR THE AP EXAM. Look at past AP essay questions and sample exemplary essays (prose passage essay is always essay question #2! When analyzing the prose passage, you should pay close attention to complex characters, relationships, shifts in the passage, the progression/development from the beginning, middle and end of the passage, impact of characters, setting, and/or relationships on the text as a whole, and the narrator's attitude toward characters or subjects. Literary devices to keep in mind are imagery, tone, diction, characterization, point of view, symbolism, and setting. Remember, your AP Essay should follow this format: You SHOULD write 4-6 paragraphs. Your introduction and conclusion paragraphs can be 2-4 sentences (if you're running out of time, your intro only needs to have the thesis statement and the conclusion only needs to restate the thesis statement in some new words). The body paragraphs can be 6-12 sentences. If you have fewer body paragraphs, then you write more sentences. Make sure you have a clear, defensible thesis (in the introduction) that fully addresses the essay prompt. Each body paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that addresses the thesis. Your body paragraphs should always connect back to the thesis. Your body paragraphs should have abundant evidence (about 5-6 quotes in each body paragraph; 10-12 pieces of textual evidence in quotes). Include STRONG COMMENTARY (sentence starters include: "through the use of______, "the passage begins to set up...", the author portrays...", "Throughout the whole passage...", "This further establishes...") Your body paragraphs should include insightful analysis of the evidence that always connects back to the thesis. You passage should always address FUNCTION (the author's purpose/WHY does the author make the choices he/she does). You should have a clear LINE OF REASONING (this means that your essay should flow and always connect back to the thesis). Your body paragraphs should include clear references to your chosen literary devices. Your body paragraphs should always show the progression of the prose passage from beginning to the end. Your body paragraphs should have abundant sophisticated vocabulary. Your conclusion should restate the thesis in new words, address the progression of the entire passage and leave the reader with a final thought. Refer to the Prose Passage Rubric (question #2)!

Join Microsoft Teams Class Meeting #5 (you've been invited via e-mail) during your class period! This counts as class participation for today!
What do you believe are strategies to remember the vocabulary acquired this year so that you can easily integrate them in your prose passage essay?
2. Mini-Lesson: Here are some strategies for long-term acquisition of vocabulary.
Create mnemonic devices (like acronyms).
Create stories and memorize your vocabulary stories. Here's an introduction for an example from list #1: Johnny was abased to a job with lower pay and he had to abdicate the throne because he was involved in an abduction. He felt belittled by his belligerent boss. He was always a beneficial and benevolent worker.
Divide the words into positive and negative word categories. For List #2, here are the Positive Words: affluence, assess, commendable, decipher, fundamental, humane, hypnotic, intermingle, manifest, poignant, transcendent, vital and yearning. Negative Words: abhorrent, brevity, condemn, culpable, fiery, infuriate, and pretentious.
Review the Vocabulary for Character Traits (thanks to Magaly for sending this clear pdf!).

What were essential skills that you most remembered from videos #9-13?
2. Mini-Lesson: Review videos #9-13. All of the videos focus on character, setting, plot structure, point of view, and contrasts within the prose passage. Realize that you won't know, until the actual exam, which literary device you will be expected to analyze in the text provided. Let's review essential facts from each of the videos that we should keep in our figurative tool set so we are ready on the day of the exam.
Video #9 on the Prose Passage Essay: Characterization
Video #10 on the Prose Passage Essay: Setting
Video #11 on the Prose Passage Essay: Structure (Plot)
Video #12 on the Prose Passage Essay: Point of View/Narrator
Video #13 on the Prose Passage Essay: Contrasts and Figurative Language
3. Today's Summary of Skills in Videos 9-13: Remember to analyze character's dialogue, actions, motivations, other people's POV and their personality traits. What does the character reveal about their society? WHY did the author make specific choices about the characters? What is the function of setting? What is the setting's significance throughout the text? How is the setting a mirror of society/humanity? How does the setting add more depth to the text as a whole? What is the arrangement of events of the plot? Why did the author make those choices? Are the events in order? WHY did the author choose a specific point of view? How does the point of view impact readers? What are the advantages, disadvantages, reliability and limitations of the specific POV? What are the contrasts in the text and WHY does the author set up those contrasts? What is the function of those contrasts? ALWAYS connect back your findings to your thesis/essay prompt.
4. Homework: Friday, April 24th: Microsoft Teams #4: Fishbowl Discussion on 2018 Prose Passage Essay Question #2 and Exemplary Prose Passage Essay.

THESIS VIDEO #7: What are the ESSENTIALS that a thesis statement MUST convey to the reader? HOW do you compose a thesis? Why are the following thesis statements worthy of the 1 point on the AP grading rubric? Here's the essay prompt: Analyze the complex nature of the gift and how the gift contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole. Thesis Statements: 1.) The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, shows a young man, Dorian Gray, who does not age, and although it seems like a blessing to him, it quickly begins to burden him and arise problems. 2.) In the story of Metamorphosis, the main character undergoes a huge physical change that impacts the entirety of his life. Although many saw his change as purely a burden, the change revealed a lot to the main character which could've been perceived as a gift. 3.) Isabel's gift of a large inheritance gives her the advantage of moving more freely as a woman in society but also makes her more vulnerable to being seen by others as a tool, highlighting the novel's depiction of a woman's disadvantaged role in society.
DEVELOPING COMMENTARY VIDEO #8: What are the ESSENTIALS that the COMMENTARY (or ANALYSIS OF THE EVIDENCE) MUST contain in your essay?
Inspirational Words: "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor"--Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd President of The United States

What are the consequences of his actions? How does this character's actions begin in the text, progress throughout the text, and end in the text? How do his actions address a broader idea throughout the text as a whole?

Show the character's development from the beginning of the text to the end of the text. Show progression and transformation.

C.) Conclusion: Final thoughts/summary/lesson of the text and connection back to the essay prompt.
3. Q & A: How have the protagonists of the long texts we've read in our class so far (Oedipus in Oedipus Rex, Prince Hamlet in Hamlet, Gregor in Metamorphosis, and Dorian in The Picture of Dorian Gray) developed throughout the novel? What are these protagonists' inconsistencies and complexities and how do they influence the texts as a whole? How have these protagonists' actions and motivations affected the texts as a whole?

4. Final Thoughts: Famous inspirational words: In honor of today, April 1st (April Fools' Day!): "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."--Shakespeare from his play, As You Like It, adapted from Socrates, a Greek philosopher, 470-399 B.C.E.
