Using either the poetry prompt (Johnson/Housman) or the prose prompt (Cyril Dabydeen) we looked at on Monday, write a 40 minute essay.If you choose to write about the poems, notice that the speaker in Housman's poem is the twenty-two year old recognizing that the wise man's words were indeed wise. Housman's speaker comes from the point of experience.
Thank you for your hard work Saturday night and again this morning. You guys are so respectful and diligent. If it were up to me, most every one of you would receive college credit for this course. You have worked hard this year. I have watched your writing grow by leaps and bounds.Remember, the AP exam is one test, given one day, for a three hour period, and you are expected to produce work that reflects your work ethic, your growth in deep reading, and your exceptional test taking skills. It's a tall order.
Know that I am proud of you no matter what! You are a joy to teach.
Blessings,
Mrs. Fox
