Wonder of Wonders, a Blog Post!

The Finale

I hope you have (or will have had by the time you read this) a happy and safe time at Prom and all associated events.  A few years ago, prom was the Saturday night before senior finals began on Monday.  That year things really were over by then.  This year . . . just a few steps to go.

1.  Here is the updated version of the Sound Track group project; note that it contains the link for putting your music into my Dropbox as well as some final instructions about a cover sheet for the hard copy material.

2. And here is the corrected copy of the final essay (individual) with the intended Choice C for Tess instead of the accidental duplication that's on the hand-out I distributed today.

3.  Now, the other assignment is a group event, and you really can't start until your group receives its designated passage as determined by either the luck of the draw or the throw of the dice. But just for those who missed class today, be aware that there will be a passage analysis that incorporates both the focus on the passage expected in your prior AP work as well as connections that you and your group will make with other significant aspects of the novel.  The formal hand-out for this will be distributed on Monday, and except for the music presentations during part of Tues/Wed, you'll have next week in class to work on this.

By the time you have participated in both group projects and written your final essay, I sincerely hope that you will be well prepared for a straightforward GradeCam test over your book on Tuesday, June 9.  Then you will be, really and truly, done with high school English.
