"Our revels are now ended."

Here is an overview of requirements for the final days of class. Check emails for document with pretty fonts!

“Our revels now are ended.” (Almost ended, anyway!)

---so---

“The time 'twixt [May-Day] and now/Must by us [all] be spent most preciously.”
Your tasks

1. Each night (working alone or with a partner), twixt now and May-Day,
prepare an open ended question as follows:

· Select one of the works read in or for class.
§ Note title, author, most significant characters
· Write a clear and concise meaning of the work as a whole
· Write an appropriate thesis statement connecting your work, meaning, and prompt element.
· Connect this expressed meaning to one of the prompts. Use one from any of your old essay sheets, or use one from the list I included at http://www.hoffmanapenglish.blogspot.com
· Describe at least three (3) very specific details from the work that support your thesis.

2. a. Post your work on TUMBLR.
b. Comment on one other posting, making suggestions for modification, addition, or improvement.
· Be sure to sign both posting and comment.

3. Complete all Multiple Choice selections I give you in class, and give me your answer sheet
as you enter class the next day.

4. Complete homework assignments for all poem or prose passages, and give me a copy of your brief outline sheet as you enter class the next day.

For Both 3 and 4 above:
If I have to wait, I will not accept your work.
If you are absent the day before, find a copy of the assignment.
If you are absent the day something is due, get it to me before the end of your class.
If you miss anything at all, you must make arrangements to do a make-up.
I will NOT accept ANY AP review work after May 1st.

For 1, 2, 3 and 4 above:
No Whining.
