Monday, 4/30: AP Preparation

* Pray

* CWP due Thursday (or send in two pieces to contests)

* Study aids on the blog

* Literary Periods part I: From the beginning

* Short Card quiz each day. Tomorrow: Austen.

* Per. 1 ICE returned today, Per. 3 tomorrow, Per. 6 on Wednesday.

* Notes so far:
- Book Titles! Spell them correctly (a vs. the, tale vs. tail). Underline.
- Archetype: Noun: "The Eden archetype plays significantly in the garden scene..." Adj. "Sydney Carton is not an archetypical hero; rather, he is an antihero who finds redemption in sacrifice."
- Avoid contractions
- But can open a sentence, but beware!
- Avoid boring verbs (does, did, do)
- Avoid "author uses" for elements.  Conjure ten synonyms for uses in your notes now.  Look over the terms for a reasonable pairing.
- Write, "In the novel's exposition...," not "in the start of the book."  If you can't remember the term, at least say opening.
- Review the apostrophe (section 36, pp. 408-410):  dogs (more than one dog),  dog's (belongs to one dog), dogs' (belongs to many dogs), its (possessive with no apostrophe, like his), it's (it is), Dickens' or Dickens's are both correct; I prefer the first.
