Good afternoon. I hope that you all had a restful break and are ready to work hard over the next three weeks. For tonight's homework, I would like you to read Coleridge's poem, "Kubla Khan." This is an extremely famous poem, and one for which I hope you develop an appreciation. Please attempt to employ one of the strategies from class today to help break the poem down. These are designed to help you when you get to the actual exam. In the end, you will use what works for you. Umberto Eco claimed in "Six Walks in the Fictional Woods," that "every text is a lazy machine asking the reader to do some of its work." So, you have to do the work to get the "lazy machine" to operate.
As far as some of the upcoming assignments, please be prepared to spend at least half the day (if not more) working on AP prep. This may include entire days of working in the AP prep guides, or having free periods to meet with you individually and allow you to develop your own study guides and lessons. In other words, you need decide what your weaknesses are. We will discuss tomorrow in class. Have a good night.
