Studying for the AP Literature and Composition exam? Check out these resources

We will meet after school on next Monday in C246 to review. If other times are good for you please let me know. Come with questions and items that you would like to review.

Here is a  link to a sample exam from AP Central. You MUST SCROLL through the Language and Comp exam. The Lit and Comp exam begins about 2/3 of the way through the pdf. Please remember that these are the only test items put out by AP. The Barron's review test question are often riddled with poor questions.

Here are the questions on the "open" portion of the exam. This is the sections where you write about a book that you have read. http://sb169.k12.sd.us/Prompt%20list%20for%20IR%20with%20AP.htm

While no one can guarentee the literary vocabulary that you will run across on the test, this quizlet list is a reasonable list to review: http://quizlet.com/23033303/ap-english-literature-and-composition-literary-terms-flash-cards/

Homework over break

Please read Beloved to page 33 (remember the pagination is different in each book). In my book the section ends with the line "how fine and loose and free." I hope you all have a fabulous break. I know that sleeping in and flip-flops seems to be on people's minds right now.
