CAK ape 12

Due to CAK blog policies in relation to blogger.com, the site for this class has been moved to Gaggle. I apologize for the inconvenience of changing sites, but remaining with blogger was going to become even more inconvenient. Click on the link below, or copy and paste it into the address bar, to see the posts for this class.

I recommend going to the new site and adding it to your favorites so that you can find it again. When you look at that blog, be sure to check which class you're viewing--the same blog contains English 12 AP and English 11 Advanced, with different entries for each class.

Today's agenda:

• Quiz on Lord of the Flies in relation to chapter 2 of SS&S
• Discuss conflict, plot, structure of LotF
• Homework for Monday: Journal entry on "Once Upon a Time" from SS&S, pp. 231 ff.
• Long-term homework assignment: Select which of the two books by your author you will use for the focus of your research paper. (Hint: it should be one for which you can find critical articles.) Reread that book carefully as literary fiction, taking notes on elements of the work that stand out to you as important to the crafting of the novel. Be especially aware of structural elements.
