Final Project

Students are working on their final project. Final Exam 2012-2013 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. http://apliteraturehp.wikispaces.com/ Final Exam Part II- Presentation-100pts PhotoStory3 You must develop a presentation using PhotoStory3 covering both the plot of the novels you have read and your criticism. You may use the narration feature. Your presentation must adhere to the following requirements: • 5 minutes maximum running time • Images that explain both novels • Images and text that provide analysis • Narration-you can tell the story without summarizing • Citations for any images that you did not create yourself This project should combine the stories of the novels and your analysis of them. Be creative and decide on the best way to communicate the ideas in the novels and your ideas about them.

Good Luck!

Good luck on the exam. You are ready.
