Well I don't know about you, but I think we need a recap of what's due for next week.
1. True Grit needs to be read when you get to class next week. It's vital that you have read it and have a general understanding of the book because we're going to do an in class activity (an introduction to our collaborative project with Hawaii) based on the book.
Due: Monday, April 7th
2. You should have your picture chosen for the Dr. Seuss assignment. As a reminder you are writing a short passage, story...anything really, in the rhyming style of Dr. Seuss, but with the tone of Heart of Darkness. **This can be about anything. It DOES NOT have to be about anything we've done in class** I just want you to show me that you understand the tone and can replicate it in an unconventional way.
Due: Monday, April 7th
3. When you get to class next week you should have a written poem somewhere (on your computer, handwritten..preferably not on your blog), and you should have your visual 3x3 posted to your blog. **To make it a little easier on you guys, this will count as your required blog post for the week**
Due: Monday, April 7th
Hope this helped. There will be a post to follow about the analytical project. As always, feel free to email us with any questions!

AP Lit: Heart of Darkness and.....Dr. Seuss???
Yup! You read it correctly. Today, much like we did with Frankenstein, we discussed the overall tone of Heart of Darkness (not an easy feat I might add). After that we took on an interesting challenge. Write a short story, scene, description, etc in the rhyming style of Dr Seuss, but with the tone on Heart of Darkness.
On a side note, we're going to start a collaborative project with another class in Hawaii next week. Get pumped!

AP Lit: Heart of Darkness 3x3s
This morning we took another close look at Heart of Darkness. We just did it a little differently today. Instead of sitting there analyzing passages, we got out the note cards and made ourselves some literary 3x3s. Then for homework we all took one line from either our 3x3 or a classmate's and turned it into a poem to put on our blog.
While the reading for Heart of Darkness is done, we're still spending one more class with the text and attempting to combine it with the stories of Dr. Seuss!
