AP ENGLISH LITERATURE & COMPOSITION EXAM IS

THIS WED. 5/9/18

• AP EXAM REVIEW:

• I graded the 8 works of literature grid today. If you were absent or testing today, make sure you show me your chart for the grade by the end of the day tomorrow (Tues. 5/8/18) or it will turn into a zero. Study it for the AP exam on Wed. You can study more past AP Open Response Questions here.

• Today's assignment: We used our literature review charts (8 works) to practice 4 more open response questions (notes only)

• HW: Continue to review works of literature. A fun way to review (a bit of rough language, though) is watching THUG NOTES VIDEOS.

• Points Practice
• The last two days to earn points for after school m/c practices are: Mon. 5/7/18 and Tues. 5/8/18.

• When you come to take a 15-minute after school m/c practice, you will receive your scantron and test back the next time I see you. 

• If you made 50%+, your grade on the original test will already be changed to reflect 10 more points. 

• I expect you to go over the answers using the keys you will find in this folder. (You will have to sign in to your school account to view the keys.)

• CAREER RESEARCH PROJECT
• Outlines were due Sat. 5/5/18 and will be returned to you at the beginning of this week.
