Students will explore symbolism, archetypes, and character complexity in literary texts. Through guided practice with The Story of an Hour, students will learn how authors use symbols and contrasts to communicate deeper meanings. Participants will strengthen their analytical skills and apply them to AP‑style reading tasks.

Students will master essential test-day strategies and time management techniques for the AP Literature exam. Students will learn to recognize common exam pitfalls, distinguish between "trees" (detail-focused questions) and "forest" (big-picture questions) in multiple-choice sections, and develop a strategic toolkit of literary works for the free-response literary argument essay. Through interactive activities and practice with real AP prompts, students will build confidence and create personalized strategies to maximize their performance on both sections of the May 6th exam.
Students will analyze the FRQ 3 rubric and practice improving literary argument essays to achieve higher scores. Students will examine an exemplar essay using Their Eyes Were Watching God, learn to identify gaps between thesis statements and supporting evidence, and practice revising commentary to create stronger connections between textual evidence and thematic interpretations. Through hands-on revision work and rubric analysis, students will develop strategies for crafting cohesive arguments where every piece of evidence clearly supports their line of reasoning and contributes to their interpretation of a work as a whole.
