Some work of noble note...

AP Lit Class of '17, "tis not too late to seek a newer world." So much yes, yes?

It was a true pleasure meeting all of you this week. As mentioned in class, teaching a course like AP Lit is English teacher dreamland. This week you were enthusiastic and engaged and thoughtful and intellectual. What a treat. 

I have a feeling we're in for a great year!

This week...

• We dove head-first into "Ulysses" -- we read, annotated, and spent a bit of time sharing out observations and drawing conclusions. Many of you put your thumb right on the theme and greater meaning, which was both an impressive and encouraging way to begin our year together. 
• We reviewed rules and procedures, learned a "stop and look at Hilliard code", and...
• ​We had some fun reviewing domain specific vocabulary for AP Lit with Alpha Boxes. And if you are in 5th period,..
• We meme-ed the unfamiliar vocab terms. 

Not too shabby for the first week of school! 

Here's the need to know for now:

On MONDAY, please bring your copies of MUDBOUND and Cold Mountain. 
Vocab homework is due next Friday, 9.2

Now, check out these sweet memes and I'll see ya' Monday!
