The Taming of the ShrewWeek 8 of Quarantine
Your essays are due on Saturday, May 16th via google docs. This is your final AP/ Honors Essay!! Congrats!! Please email me as you have questions or if there is a certain portion of your essay that you would like for me to review. A zoom link will be sent out for a final meeting on Thursday at noon! Week 6 of Quarantine Below is the document for our FINAL essay assignment!! At the bottom of the first page you can see the breakdown of our due dates, which will take us to the final date of senior work on May 16th! By this Saturday, please email me a google doc "brainstorm" of 2-3 books (or a series) that you could write this essay on and explain why. You could make this a 1-page response or write a paragraph for each potential book option. This should be casual in tone- just as if we were in class brainstorming together as we did in the fall with our essays. Once you send me this google doc, I will add comments and suggestions on which book choice sounds best for this assignment! Also, please give me roughly 2 weeks to work on grading/ emailing pdf's of your "taming of the shrew" essays.
