spring break lit circles presentations tomorrow

Here are a couple of quick reminders regarding your presentations tomorrow:

1. You don't need fancy visuals or anything other than what you prepared over Spring Break;
2. You do need to prepare your colleagues to answer the essay/multiple choice questions you wrote, and you need to do this in approximately five minutes;
3. You also need to tell your colleagues where to find the questions and how they should answer them on their blogs.

Looking forward to hearing what you learned, both about the novels you chose and the AP questions!
