AP English Class Notes
I hope this note finds you well and thriving in the wonderful world of literature and language! Last week
in Mr. Henderson's AP English class was nothing short of captivating, as we delved into the intricate
realms of classic literature and linguistic analysis. Here's a brief recap of the highlights:
Mr. Henderson led an engaging discussion on Shakespearean sonnets, unraveling the poetic brilliance of
the Bard himself. We dissected the rhythmic intricacies, explored the sonnet's structure, and deciphered
the layers of meaning within each line. The sonnets came to life in a way that only Mr. Henderson's
passionate teaching could achieve.
Our class embarked on a journey through Harper Lee's masterpiece, "To Kill a Mockingbird." Mr.
Henderson encouraged us to delve beyond the surface of the narrative, examining the complexities of
characters like Atticus Finch and Scout. Through lively debates and insightful analyses, we gained a
deeper understanding of the social and moral nuances embedded in the text.
As always, Mr. Henderson donned his grammar guru hat and took us on a whirlwind tour of advanced
grammatical concepts. From intricate sentence structures to the nuances of punctuation, we left the
class armed with a newfound appreciation for the finer details of language.
In a departure from our usual routine, Mr. Henderson treated us to a creative writing workshop. We
were given prompts that sparked our imagination, leading to a flurry of inventive stories and prose. It
was a refreshing break from our rigorous literary analysis and a reminder of the boundless creativity that
lies within each of us.
