Midterm information

Monday: Read and annotate the Etheridge Knight poem for Tuesday.

MIDTERM:
Your work this week is to prepare for your midterm next week. If you have questions, please see me. Here are the instructions and rubric again: AP midterm and rubric: AP Midterm and rubric

If you would like some sample introduction letters, you can look at these multi-genre papers. These are semester long projects, so the actual projects are different, but the letters are similar to what I am looking for. Specifically, think about the context of the novels or texts, what big ideas it made you think about and how those ideas translated. Engaging and vibrant writing is always expected. Tantalize us.

Note: This will be the entire midterm in terms of grades, although you will be writing an in-class essay which will count on Quarter Two.
