Seniors, this is a pretty busy-looking week, but if you follow the reading schedule and complete the journal responses as you read through the novel, you’ll be fine.  Remember to always follow MLA format in your poetry responses.  The physical composition book (the vocab assignments) will not be due until the end of next week, but you should try to wrap up the JE assignment assignment and move on to the Frankenstein vocab if you haven’t already.  Take note: we’ll be doing something really useful (i.e. beneficial for Friday’s assessment) in class on Tuesday.  Here’s a nifty online-only handout that gives you 10 tips for the AP Lit multiple choice portion.  And here’s a link for Paradise Lost.
