This paper should be clean of usage errors from "Unlucky 13" and represent your best work and fullest thinking. I am always happy to have quicker meetings with you that answer questions or dig out a particular composition problem. Electronic hot seats are available as a special bonus this year. Please feel free to upload your stamp-worthy draft to the draft turn-in slot in Jupiter, email me (not via Jupiter--I need a real email address to respond to with the screencast) to let me know it is there, and I will respond within 24 hours. The last day to ask for an electronic hot seat is Tuesday, January 26. Each student may visit the hot seat 2 times; students must visit the hot seat in order to receive an A on the paper. ***** Monday 11 January: AK Reading 21 due Tuesday 12 January: AK Reading 22 due; AK characters for review Wednesday 13 January: AK Reading 23; questions for discussion; AK passages for review Thursday 14 January: Reading 24 due; AK discussion questions for review Friday 15 January: AK test During Midterm week, we will have specific midterm review instruction. While there is a lot going on for AP Lit, the midterm features one prose passage essay (which should prepare for by studying compositional aspects of old papers and practicing writing thesis statements and outlining) and one Q3 (for which you will be required to use Crime and Punishment, Hamlet, and/or Anna Karenina--so you should prepare by book report-style reviews of those texts to remember patterns and details). This reviewing should be reasonable and self contained. Monday 18 January: MLK Day; no classes Paper due Thursday 28 January When you hand in your paper, use the notes field to tell me when you visited the hot seat and anything I may have said with regard to your relationship to the stamp. If you have a physical stamp on your paper, please put that draft on top of the materials you turn in. Please turn in the final to-be-graded (or stamped) copy on top, and then draftwork underneath, all in the same pdf file. All electronic work for English class should be in pdf format and double spaced. Here is the overview of a style guide I am writing.
