May the Fourth Be With You!

Focus: What do we need to know about prose?

1. Warming up with happy Monday thoughts and a few reminders from Mrs. Talen!

2. Enjoying a little "Name that Tone" with Quizlet, the first page of East of Eden, and the first page of Invisible Man

My easy tricks for deciphering tone:

• Look for patterns of diction (especially verbs).
• Look for patterns of imagery.

3. Playing a quick round of "Name that Prose Term"

***FIVE MINUTE BREAK FOR READING LETTERS FROM PAST A.P. LIT STUDENTS***

4. Viewer Choice: Practicing 19th century prose with multiple choice questions, or...
                              Practicing contemporary prose with an essay prompt.

5. If time allows, taking a quick peek at Prince Liam from "The Royals"...or shall we call him Prince Hal?
