AP Lit. and Comp. Free Response

[Michelle 236]

I wrote on Othello. My AP class does things a little differently. Instead of choosing a work on the recommended list to write on when we get the test, we choose our work a month ahead of time from the AP books we read during the year, mostly classic Brit lit. During the month we read the work, and a secondary back up work a few times and memorize quotes and themes from the text that we predict will be relevant to the test. Since the AP free response question is usually applicable to almost any book "of comparable literary merit" as the suggested works, this works pretty well, I dont think anyone in my class had a problem.

I don't really think any question could have suprised me though, part of our prep was reading through the last 21 years of free response questions....

I wrote on the The Fountainhead. The essays were pretty easy (although the short story on the birthday party had me a bit worried at first lol). The MC wasn't too bad either... although the free verse poem, Pictures, at the end pretty much stood up and kicked my butt. but oh well- no worries until july! woohoo! no more AP English!!!!!!!
