Dear 12AP Students,

It’s been a pleasure starting the year with all of you. As mentioned in class, you will begin reading from the Perrine’s Literature book. Please complete Chapter One (“What Is Poetry?”)  prior’s to Wednesday’s class: Pages 680-698 (As you move through the chapter, keep a few notes, particularly in response to the poems, that propel inquiry and reflect careful observation). Please note that you are not required to answer any of the questions in the chapter at this point. 

During the Flex Period on Tuesday, August 27th, the substitute is likely to utilize most of the class time. However, should there be extra time, please begin reading Chapter Two (“Reading the Poem”) on page 699, as the entire chapter will be due on Friday (pages 699-719). 

*Please note that we will spend the first half of class on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday discussing Othello.
