Description

This blog can be used for a breif outline of each unit that will be covered throughout the year in AP Language. Along with a description of the unit, an analysis of a book which ties into the unit can be found. The three sample units I have chosen to do are satire, using an analysis of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, dystopia with Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, and the war novel A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. Other units which are not being covered by this blog include memoir, non-fiction writings (essays, speeches, etc), and focuses on topics of rhetorical analysis.

Emily,

Good idea. I like the idea of having more focus to the blogs. Organizing them by units makes sense. I especially like the use of independent novels that connect either thematically or stylistically. Nice job.
