We'll start with our last few Composition & Culture presentations and some feedback for those presenters.
From there we'll break into our four stations because TUESDAY!
STATION 1. FRANKENWORD with BOISELLE. You'll be using Roots 12 to have a FrankenWord experience with Ms. Boiselle.
STATION 2. FEEDBACK TRENDS. (Production Phase of DEEP dt) Go through the feedback you've received on your Composition & Culture presentation. Answer the following two questions in either a blog post OR an email to Ryder/Brackett
A. What trends do you notice across the feedback? Things people noticed OR things people seemed to overlook that you noticed?
B. How might you apply this feedback to a revision/next iteration of your presentation? What's your action plan?
Haven't finished your presentation? Use this time to work on it.
STATION 3. FEEDBACK with BRACKETT. Have a conversation with Mr. Brackett about the presentations and how a next iteration could improve the situation.
STATION 4. BRAINSTORMING and ROSE/BUD/THORN with RYDER.
Today you are being assigned your next essay. The first submission draft will be due early next week. Exact date TBA.
Little Things Essay
How might we design essays in which we share experiences of our own, or those of others, where a little thing had a significant (big) impact? Consider objects, moments in time, single experiences, interactions . . .
In this station you will first brainstorm and spidea (word association) and then sort those ideas into Roses (gorgeous ideas), Buds (neat thoughts but not sure where to go with them), and Thorns (stay away from these ideas OR wrangle them carefully)
We will be using Post-Its. Lots of Post-Its.

AP Lit 4G: Literary 3x3s, Project Shares & Guidelines & Expectations
We opened Monday with a look at literary 3x3s. (Thanks to Ms. Keeler!)
Princess sequestered away
Powers run amok
Sister love delivers
We identified the above as Frozen. And interestingly enough? Also as Star Wars! What?! I know.
Then we wrote just a single line:
Orphan inhabits closet
And immediately the crowds erupted with, "HARRY POTTER!" (Ok. It was two people. But it was emphatic.)
From here we tackled Tracy K. Smith's poem "I Don't Miss It" and turned it into a 3x3.
Dwelling within memories
Past hinders reality
Trouble moving forward
I put these on index cards and we did a little remixing. (Which I failed to capture -- argh -- so I've added a fake-y from a friend who made her own.)
From that remix, however, we identified these words/concepts as having particular value & import:
Dwelling
Memories
Past
Reality
And based on our readings of Smith's poem, I think we did a fine job of distilling it down to four concepts that resonate through the entire poem.
From there we shared some of our summer projects and provided one another feedback.
We will deliver more of this feedback on Wednesday, share more, and start looking at how we provide feedback, the qualities of our feedback, how we might improve our feedback.
We discussed the guidelines and expectations of this course as well.

AP Lit 3G: Gallery Walk & Feedback & Hamlet
Today, we'll start with a quick recalibrating -- this feels more like a start to a new quarter than last week did.
Let's climb on to NoRedInk.com for a couple of minutes, play with Apostrophes 3, explore the practice areas. We can do this while transitioning into our next work.
We'll review effective feedback. Take a look at all of these pictures from the way back machine when we were doling out feedback on our last round of projects. Let's see if we can increase our rate of meaningful, effective feedback for these.
Then it is time for the gallery walk for the latest round of book projects. Post-It Notes will abound.
From there, a few minutes with How to Read Lit Like a Professor and powerful takeaways worth putting up on the board.
We will end today with a Hamlet viewing, picking up where we left off just after "To be or not to be."
HOMEWORK

Req'd Post: Create a visual 3x3 of the town (or county) where you live. What does that place mean to you? How can you capture your relationship with your town through pictures? Consider taking or drawing/painting your own. Give considerable thought to how you arrange them.
