Good evening.
First, let me say that it is a pleasure to be working with all of you this semester. Because of programming issues, we are getting a bit of a late start. Things will really begin to heat up in the coming days, so enjoy the lull in the action while you can. We will begin the college essay process this week, as well as the short story unit. I will work - briefly - with "Meany" tomorrow.
For homework tonight, please close read the attached story, "War," by Luigi Pirandello. You should read the story twice to appreciate its subtle qualities and its rich use of verbal irony. Close reading requires a highlighter, or the use of marginalia. This should be evident by the marks on your paper. Please do not come in with a pristine copy of the story. Please print the story and bring it to class tomorrow. I will have you working in small groups, discussing the story.
I hope to have the schedule and textbook for you in the next day or so. Again, welcome to AP Literature.
