Summer Session #1 & Passage Responses for *Invisible Cities*

The first summer session will be held at nine-thirty antemeridian (9:30 am) on Monday, July 11 in room 2205.

Also remember that responses to ten passages from Invisible Cities are due on Monday, July 11. Bring them with you to the summer session. (If you cannot attend the session send an email letting us know you won't be there and then make sure you email your passage responses by midnight Monday, July 11. If you are going to be away and do not have access to email where you are going make sure you contact Mr. Cook and Mr. Telles before leaving.)

Here is a link to a passage response template that is easy to use.
Notice that sixty words is a minimum and not a recommendation. Responses that short will likely score in the lower half of the grading rubric (needs improvement/warning status) whereas typical AP level responses vary are most of in the 100 to 300 word range.
