Objective:  I can utilize my knowledge of sonnets to complete a practice poetry essay comparing two sonnets following the template provided for guidance.  
Agenda:  

• Entry Task:  No MC today; Get your essay folder, you may have it and your notes out to help you with today's activity.
  • See the Poetry Prompt from 2008 and the Comparison Template provided.
  • This is NOT intended to be a complete essay, but by following the template, you should begin to generate how to select portions of the poem(s) to analyze. 
    • The template is strongly suggested, but it is NOT required; alternatively, you may just "go for it" and attempt to write your first poetry comparison essay.
  • Either way, your essay will be scored using the scoring guidelines provided by AP for the prompt.
• Exit Task:  Put your completed template or essay into your essay folder, and put your essay folder back in your group's.  Take a deep breath and relax, you will be fine--we are still LEARNING.
