Seniors
Revision essays are due Thursday, and AP essays are due Friday. The prompt for AP essays follows:
Defend or challenge the inclusion of your book in an AP curriculum. Considering the goals of AP English, is your book instructive? What specifically makes it a valuable and useful text, or what specifically detracts from its educational value? Cite and discuss passages from the book as evidence for your argument. Consider such factors as the author's style, complexity of language, plot and/or subject matter, structure, cultural relevance, etc.
Also, please purchase a copy of Art Spiegelman's MAUS sometime in the next two weeks.
