Final Project

Students have begun preparing for their final project.


Final Exam
2009-2010
AP Literature
Mr. Klimas

Part I-
The AP Literature Wiki project. 100pts

This project will be your legacy. Every AP Literature class from now until the end of time will be responsible for completing this project and adding to it.

For this assignment you will use all of the skills that we have practiced this year. You are responsible for providing a scholarly literary criticism for each of the works you have chosen to read. This is NOT a research assignment. This is NOT a review. The goal is that other students will be using your work as a source for their research assignments. This project will be published and will be a permanent fixture on both my blog and the Library/Resource Center webpage.

You will be responsible for the following:

• read 2 works by the author of your choice;
• write a scholarly criticism of each work;
• post it on the High Point Regional High School Guide to Contemporary Literary Criticism Wiki.

Your criticisms must include:

• title stating concept and novel title;
• an abstract describing the thesis;
• scholarly criticism/analysis of the work;
• passages;
• a point/argument;
• the skills we focused on during class;
• your knowledge of the author/context/literature/the world.


At the end of each criticism, you are to include your initials and the year you wrote it. Ex. (A.B. 2009) Again, this is permanent. You can view your criticisms when you are old and gray like me. Your kids will be able to view them.

Part II-

Presentation-100pts

You will present your literary criticisms. You must display your wiki and outline the main points of your essays. All major aspects of the criticisms must be presented. You must also discuss the entire process or experience, including what interesting discoveries you made along the way. You will be assessed both on the content and the delivery of your presentation.
