Short Story Boot Camp DAY FOUR:
READ: "Araby" by James Joyce and Chapter 1 from How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster
DUE: 1 paragraph and 1 question
As we discuss "Araby," we will identify each element of the hero's journey just like Thomas Foster does in his work. We will discuss the symbolic implications of each element.
Short Story Boot Camp DAY THREE:
READ: "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin and
the Interlude and Chapter 5 from How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster
DUE: 1 paragraph and 1 question
As we discuss these two short stories and their intertextuality, we will break into small groups, answering questions provided by Miss Lamb. Each question must be supported with quotes from the text to be valid!
Good morning! Senior orientation is today. We will go to the gym to listen to the presentation.
When we return, we will discuss our research book selections, as well as the assignments for the rest of the week.
Today is a big day in your AP Literature life. Today we begin boot camp and research!
First, we will go over the Short Story Boot Camp assignment. We will be reading a short story and writing paragraphs and questions to go with them each day next week.
Then, we will begin our research project. No need to worry, the first step is simply choosing a book and/or theme we would like to study. We will take about a week to choose one and then go from there. You should have your choices narrowed down by the end of next week.

We wil also create cards with symbols representing ourselves. We will explain our symbols as we introduce ourselves. Be creative and neat because the symbol cards will be on display in the hallway! In addition to creating your symbol card, you will write an explanation of why you chose the symbol and how it is representative of you.
If you have your summer assignment, please turn it in, if not, the last day I will take them is August 31--a week from tomorrow. Make sure you meet this deadline in order to stay enrolled in the class!
