Pre-AP students, I hope you are excited about your summer reading assignment for AP Literature & Composition. Just for fun, here’s a photo of me with the author of one of your books!
It’s always amazing for me when I meet authors of books I love to teach, but Tim O’Brien was an exceptionally exciting one. He’s a legend, but so human at the same time.

Here it is. I will gladly answer any questions you have about it after the in-class portion of the test tomorrow.

Here it is: your last Cultural Literacy list of the year. The quiz will be on Monday, May 7th, and will be worth twice as many points as usual.
Please be prepared to discuss Act III tomorrow. This means previewing the study guide questions & summaries and reading through the actual Act of the play.

It is my understanding that everyone who was absent on Monday did get the notes on this, but just in case you need the list on the go:

Remember, you are only responsible for knowing the first 15 for the quiz.
If you have time, I encourage you to brows around AFI’s other lists and pick a few classic movies to watch over the summer. You’ll be amazed how often the films on these lists are alluded to in popular culture… and you won’t catch the allusions if you aren’t familiar with the movies!
(Ah-ha, that’s the point of these Cult Lit units we’ve been doing…)

To prepare for Monday’s class activity, please listen to this speech and take some notes on it. Please consider the following:
* What is the speaker’s obligation to his audience? How well does he accomplish it? How do you know?
* What is significant about pronouns used in this speech? It may be helpful to list them and keep track of how many times each is used.
* How do the context and content of this speech compare and contrast to those of the speeches made in Act III of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?

I still have a few grades to post before your third quarter grades are final. All will be recorded by 7:55 AM on Monday. I have everything graded — it’s just a matter of getting everything recorded in Progress Book.
