Final Exam, Monday

* Review for the exam (below).

• Notice the schedule link above. 
• Notice the reading links to the right. 
• This time, your exam memorization is the notecard check, so you do not need to bring it to the final.  Do not lose it, though, as we will be quizzing on every notecard in quarter 4 as we prepare for the open prompt of the AP exam.  You don't want to have to go back then to remake it when cobwebs have overgrown that nook of your mind. 

* Check Focus for 0's, please.

Block Day and Final Exam Preparation

• Question 1 for you to respond to in your notes: How then, is The Tempest a good, rich, rewarding, well-written play, if it indeed has many elements that are romantic, imaginative, unhistorical, etc.?  There is a key word that Coleridge focuses on as the quality that justifies and balances the work.  What is it?
• Rene Girard (Stanford video; famous modern literary critic): The Tempest 
• Question 2 to respond to in your notes: In one paragraph, compare our three critical perspectives.  How might they reflect "sea changes" in literary interpretation?
