CONFESSION: I am reversing the order of the lit terms from the past few years. Normally we start with the VERY EASY ones and then work up to the hard ones. The problem with that (and something that previous groups agreed with me was a problem) is that you don't have much time to practice and use the harder terms. Ideally, you would learn them upfront and then you will recognize them when they show up on the practice tests. Well guess what??? We have a clean slate and we can DO IDEAL! :) But. Some of these are hard, and there are even more challenging ones in the future. Sorry.
Naturalism (as a literary era/genre)
Modernism (as a literary era/genre)
Epigraph
Antihero
Juxtaposition
Periodic sentence
Apposition
Tricolon
Antithesis
Causal relationship

I want to use this blog as a multi-purpose blog for my English IV AP class. I will be posting the weekly schedule on here, as well as any assignments. My favorite part is probably to showcase wonderful writing and projects! I also will probably post some school/class news at times. Finally, and the most important part to you twenty-eight over-achievers, is that I will be putting a few postings per unit and the students are required to post a comment (a THOUGHTFUL comment) every unit. These comments should take the form of an online discussion, where you read all of the comments before yours and then make a contribution. Each unit will have a blogging grade attached to it. I am looking forward to the semester both in the classroom as well as online! :)
