AP Literature Terms

Alternative Tutoring Assignment

If you are not taking the test, and you did not come to tutoring, please complete this assignment to replace that classwork credit.

Go to one of the following links, and choose a word.  Make a Word Wall card that defines that word in your own words.  In addition, hand in your definition with an example of the element or technique being used in literature.  Explain how the text illustrates your word.
