Hello, Langers. We have been given the official go-ahead to start planning, prepping, and assigning you work, so I will be adapting our curriculum to take an online leap starting next week. To be honest, I'm not changing much around from what we would be doing in class. It will just be up to you to maintain the standards of AP-level study and be honest, keep to a clock, and be part of our AP Lang community.
Yes, community. We will have a shared team drive in the very near future, so that you will not just be communicating with me, you will be communicating with your class, and, possibly, all of the AP Langers.
Our topics of study and typed discussion? A continuation of allusions - except you will be sharing what you have been learning about in the past week and future weeks (that's right - all the "rabbit holes" you fall into online will now payoff as you show off your ethos in history, pop culture, politics, science, literature, mythology, whatever can constitute as fascinating and school appropriate; for instance, I have been reading up a lot on the Spanish Flu). A getting to know you of the synthesis prompt with step by step pre-writing suggestions and charts! (Many of you have probably seen the preview of synthesis 2 blogs ago, so you have the gist of what you will need to be doing. We'll even use that scoring sheet and prompt for the first "official meeting" with synthesis.) There will be more MC - I'm going to give you the entire book with answers for practice! I have other plans too, dependent on the time frame, so keep an eye on the blog and on your e-mail for more details this weekend.
All of you have put in a considerable amount of time with AP Lang thus far and have improved your diction, writing, timed experiences, multiple choice, and overall abilities, so just remember you can handle any of these assignments or anything leading up to the completion of the class and the AP exam.
Honestly, we all are having a myriad of ambivalent emotions right now, so if you need extra help or have questions or need to vent, you know how to reach me.
