AP Literature and Composition庐 Analysis Engagement Through Literary Lenses **IN PERSON** presented by Edward Schmieder – 8:30-2:30pm
This full-day workshop promotes the opportunity to increase the number of lenses through which students can examine texts. The AP Literature and Composition庐 exam has been rooted in one literary analytical practice since its inception in the mid-last century: New Criticism or Formalism (as it’s now known). The redesign did not change this focus. Here a text is largely an artifact disconnected from history, biography, and society. The text is like a mechanical watch and the analytical reader is like a jeweler looking through a Loupe (jeweler’s lens), identifying each small component and knowing how they together make it run. This approach is numbing for most readers. In the context of the Lit exam, it may work against a student’s earning the sophistication鈥� point on an essay. Introducing students to some of literary lenses that are now available鈥� for academic analysis, is refreshing for student-readers. They spark individual interests and help prompt active student discussion. Students like options for engaging with texts; the analysis comes alive the task no longer a lifeless exercise in naming parts. Participants will have their chance to discuss some exemplar texts are enriched by seeing them through multiple lenses. Audience: New or Veteran AP English Lit Teachers and HS Teachers of AP Lit Bound Students Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
