AP English Language and Literature 
Please check your Gapps emails with information regarding future projects that are not yet officially assigned but that you may start taking a look at, as well as the message I forwarded from College Board regarding AP Testing.





English 11
Our final assessments for Of Mice and Men will be an Alternative Ending (in which you make the story end in a happy way for at least one of the characters) and an overall test (multiple choice, matching, and short answer).  Detailed study guides were provided in class.  Please email me at jwagner@northschuylkill.net if you would like a digital copy.

To brush up on the story, feel free to take a look at a Summary and Analysis of the book on LitCharts (my personal favorite of the supplement sites):
https://www.litcharts.com/lit/of-mice-and-men/part-1

Our final units for the year will focus on Resume and Career Writing as well as two plays: The Crucible and The Tragedy of Hamlet.  You can find the plays on Shmoop, Litcharts, Sparknotes, Cliffsnotes, etc. as well.
