Reminder: Your LRJ prompts (1-4) for Brave New World are due at the beginning of class on Monday. I will collect these for grading.
Today's In-class Assignment (Thur/Fri): You will be completing a "data sheet" for Brave New World. The data sheet is an organizer, a place for you to record your impressions and questions as you are reading, and it becomes a prompt for literary analysis. The data sheet, which amounts to a dense four pages, requires you to look up information on the author of the work and the period in which it was written; identify the characteristics of the genre; analyze key passages; identify and explain literary techniques, metaphors, and themes; and anticipate AP-style questions.
BTW. You will complete a data sheet for each full-length work that we study during the
rest of the year. This is a great way to prepare for and review for unit exams and the A.P. exam.
