The Kite Runner Pick Up

Students,

I hope you've been well and staying healthily busy.  Here are a few announcements to wrap up the time we have before the AP English Lit Exam on May 13.

• If you haven't already, read the announcement below this one about the new, online, at-home AP exam.  AP/CollegeBoard should already have sent you an email about your specific testing schedule.
• You've heard me say from the beginning that The Kite Runner is the ultimate book to write about on the AP Lit exam.  Never did I imagine we would be out of school this long, and who knows how much longer it will be before we see each other again.
• To that end, I need to get the books to you so we can start working on them next week.  Please read the following carefully, and adhere to all safety protocols so no one gets sick or in trouble:
  • ​Lowther will be at school on Friday, 04/17, from 9am-3pm.
    • ​Go to the back of the building, where the fine arts classroom windows are (100s).
    • If someone is already walking around back there, WAIT until they've gone into their car, then step out and go to that back wall.
      
    • There will be a Kite Runner work packet with your name clearly marked on a Post-It on the front.  They will be in alphabetical order, spread out 6' from each other. 
      
    • If you bought your own copy of The Kite Runner and/or Hamlet, they will be with your packet
      
    • DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING OTHER THAN YOUR PACKET AND/OR BOOK(S)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • If you don’t see your items, Remind text Lowther, who will be in her classroom--don’t attempt to come inside or look through other books/items.
      
    • ​There will be other boxes and materials for Lowther's classes; ignore those and don't touch anything else.
      
    • When you’re done, head back to your car, making sure not to go near anyone else.
  • PLEASE do not compromise the health of others or yourself--be proactive and keep your social distance!
  • This procedure has been approved by a principal; please follow it carefully!
• ​You must join Google Classroom using your school email and this code: gxuyxmu
  
  • ​This is where I will post your final assignment for Othello/Hamlet, as well as a schedule of reading and submission of The Kite Runner assignments, and possible discussion opportunities via Zoom or Google Meet.
    
• ​Let me know if you have any questions regarding this procedure, or if you would prefer an alternate method.
  
• Best wishes and missing you all, Lowther
