Let's Get the Ball Rolling!

I hope you all had a great two weeks off. I know I did. We are going to jump right in and get this busy semester started. You will find that you will be super busy. I figured that I would give you a run down of what we are going to cover this semester. We are going to start with Gothic literature. We will be discussing the elements within short stories, poetry, and the novel Dracula. You need to buy that this week. You will also write a paper over Dracula and complete a group project. After Dracula we will jump right into Hamlet, and then finish off the year with Lord of the Rings and your Senior Legacy. Throughout the semester we will also be working on preparing you for the AP exam and working on other short stories and poetry. Every Friday you will either be completing a timed write or an AP reading quiz. When we get closer to the AP exam, we will have an AP boot camp. I can't tell you how excited I am for this semester.
