Then, over the next week and a half, you will produce the half-page responses to the questions. All three answers, though, will be developed into 5-paragraph essays (intended to be outlined in 30 minutes, using your original response as a starting place, and written in 40), so the more you produce upfront, the more you are helping yourself later. At the end of the quarter, after you've had some AP English Literature instruction, you will choose one of the 5-paragraph essays to refine and polish further.
