  • The reflection questions for the Hamlet film are listed below. Please answer these in roughly 1/2 page (minimum).
    • What did you like best about the movie vs. the play? What did you like least about it? Is there anything you would have changed if you were a screenwriter, and why?
    • What was your favorite and/or least favorite scene in the film version, and why was it so memorable to you? Were there any performances from the cast that stood out to you, and why?
    • Would you recommend this movie to someone else, and why?

  • I have posted some resources below that you may want to use to help you review for the AP exam on May 9th. You will also be receiving more past work this week (including all MWDS) that you can use to help you review further.
  • Below you will now find PDFs of the sample essays given in class on Thu/Fri ("Thou Blind Man's Mark" Question #1 and the "Surroundings" Question #3). At the end of each file, you will find the AP reader's commentary for those essays -- this lists the score each one received, and gives an explanation of why that score was given.
  • The answer key to the full-length MC practice that was given to you in class on Friday is now posted. I would encourage you to set aside one hour between now and the test, and work your way through the practice as if it were the real test. Remember to time yourself and use the strategies recommended in class. When you're done, check back here for the answer key to verify your answers.

  • UPDATE FOR LATEST PRACTICE EXAM: Please note that I mistakenly posted the wrong answer key for your last practice test -- I had copies of two practices with me, and didn't realize that I'd posted the key for the second practice instead. I've now posted a separate image of the correct key here. I apologize for the confusion! If you still want a little extra practice using the original key that was posted, I'll link that practice test here: 
  • Below you will also find an additional resource that may be helpful in reviewing the key aspects for the essay responses. A small sampling of your essays from in-class prompts has been included in the PDF, so that you can have a few extra samples to peruse in combination with the ones that you received in class, if you would like. Good luck to you all, and God bless!

  • I have posted answer keys for the two MC practice passages from last time. Feel free to look over them at your own convenience. For some of the questions, I've included additional notes that can help clarify responses.

  • Work on the two MC practice passages that you received in class today. Remember to time yourself -- if you give yourself more than 25-30 minutes total for both passages, you're not getting a realistic sense of the time pressure you'll face on exam day. Set an alarm for approximately 12 minutes per passage, and make yourself stick to that so that you can get a better sense of what it would be like to assess passages like these on the actual exam. We'll go over the answers during block this week.
  • You can submit your Hamlet statement charts any day this week.

  • Complete the MC practice questions. Time yourself -- estimate approximately 10 minutes for the entire process, so that you can better simulate the testing situation.

  • Complete the Shakespeare logs if not done yet.
  • Finish the 5-S worksheet for "Sonnet 90" -- you can leave the decoding statement blank for now. 
  • Complete the multiple-choice questions for "Sonnet 90" -- no written justifications are needed for now.
