SSR and homework check. Handout "How to Write a Wonderful Essay" and discussion of the OMAM essay topics. Instruction on the P.E.E. method for writing body paragraphs. A bit of class time to begin creating an outline for your essay, including: topic, thesis statement, PEE for body paragraphs and restated thesis.
HW: Finish up outline and have it ready to start drafting next class.
Period 8: AP Lit.Candide discussion in groups: discuss, summarize, create a visual and report out to whole class.
HW: Write "Anti-Candide" (or, Pessimism)-- so maybe instead of problem after problem, it will involve good thing after good thing, with a protagonist who sees the world through such a lens of negativity that they can't see their blessings... Be creative and see what you can come up with.
