Today was the look-see at our last tone maps for Richard Cory and Miniver Cheevy, in which you had the opportunity to share your work with a classmate and discuss the overlapping features of two poems with two different speakers, two different characters, and a plethora of tone shifts. Afterwards, we started our work with " To a Skylark," looking at its meaning, its tones, and its rhetorical strategies. While students in class had specific stanzas to analyze for the aforementioned components, any students not physically in the class will be responsible for the overall summation of tones and rhetorical strategies.
On a side note, those of you are continuing to prepare for class, come in ready to share and analyze, pre-read selections and have knowledge about allusions and vocabulary, are truly embracing this college-level course and its expectations, and I send kudos to your regarding your effort and motivation. For the select few who are not keeping up with their preparations, you definitely want to take a step up in your efforts so that you are better ready for the AP exam day.
