Today is the practice exam for AP Lit and Comp after school in the Media Center. I plan to begin right at the end of seventh period; as soon as you show up, I'll start you, and as soon as you finish you may leave. On the "real" AP exam on May 6, you will have two hours to construct three essays AFTER completing the 55 question multiple choice session. Today, we are just doing the essays--the MC practice round will be next week in class, albeit in truncated form.

DO NOT MISS THIS IF YOU DID NOT ALREADY ATTEND LAST WEEK'S SESSION.

THIS IS UBER-MANDATORY.

YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH COVERT IF YOU DON'T SHOW UP.

Gifted English II: No author today; I told you yesterday to bring Things Fall Apart and be prepared to address some thought-provoking discussion questions relevant to Part I.

APees: And I told YOU yesterday to bring Heart of Darkness, your character chart, and your questions. I see no point in introducing new direct instruction on a day as challenging as today; instead, I want to give you some in-class time to knock out some work on this novella and spare yourselves some HW. Bring a bottle of water or soda and a blanket if you want; the mysteries of this novel are indeed challenging. :-)
