English 12 AP
Today we handed out 1984 and established our lit circles. Each group has determined a reading goal.

Items of note:
1. Our first meeting will be Tuesday, March 29.
2. The creative assignment won't be due (for revision) until Friday, April 1. We spoke about plays and drama as a genre, and this is an option for your creative response.
3.  Your creative response should be based on a theme from 1984. We will also be discussing the novel during our first week back. 1984 can be very useful for the AP exam!
4. We'll be meeting on Tuesday, March 15 during the spring break to discuss the MC section of the AP exam. Bring your figurative and poetic devices package. I'm currently in talks with Richmond community centers and libraries to find us a space to work. We will find one, so keep watching the blog for updates.

Homework
Determine 3 themes for the short story, "Girl".

English 9 SPECTRUM
