Discussion in the Dark Day!

Ah, my favorite day in AP Lang today: Discussion in the Dark, a chance to discuss the Lucy books with an emphasis of what is said versus what we look like. Concentrating upon our words, we could share out thoughts on Lucy, Ann, and their child-mother relationship. While we did verge into addiction, body image, and psychology, the focus of each hour was solely on the portrayal of Lucy and the various versions of our protagonist from first and third person.

Meanwhile, all classes finished "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift, which I have linked here: https://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Texts/modest.html. I chose this version as paragraph numbers are indicated on the left side of the pages. Do note that this version has footnotes.

For homework - due by 2:25 p.m. on Friday, you will need to create 10 Multiple Choice Questions for "A Modest Proposal." These questions will be shared or e-mailed. Make sure you have 5 choices, vary the degree of difficulty to incorporate factual, technical, analytical, and inferential questions, use paragraph numbers for references, and include an answer key.

1: You were the only class to finish our last practice MC passage. From this point forward, all the MC passages will count for grades.
