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/screencast hot seats are also available. 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/screencast hot seat is Tuesday, January 24. 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 9 January: AP Prep: Prose Passage review; bring comparative translation in-class essay and 5 Steps; student sample of comparative translation writing Tuesday 10 January: AK Reading 22 due; AK characters for review Wednesday 11 January: AK Reading 23 due; questions for discussion Thursday 12 January: AK Reading 24; AK passages for review Friday 13 January: AK Test Monday 16 January: MLK day; no school Midterms The AP Lit 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 FRQ3 (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. For the prose passage essay, review the sample essays and guidelines in 5 Steps to a 5 and try these sample prompts: Sample 1 (2021, pp. 3-4), Sample 2 (2022, pp. 3-4). Use the rubrics in 5 Steps to remember how essays are scored. Remember that you should make a specific, argumentative claim and maintain a line of reasoning throughout. Monday 16 January: MLK Day; no classes Tuesday 17 January–Thursday 19 January: Midterms Paper due Friday 27 January by 10pm 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.
