AP Lit Prose Essay Prompt on The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin
This is an AP Lit prose essay prompt on "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. This is a great prompt because it is asking what is only implied, which students have difficultly identifying in a short story like "The Story of an Hour" since nothing is directly stated in the story. The students have a hard time identifying what is implied in the story, which I find is a great teaching opportunity.I have included my annotations of the story as well as an outline.

I taught middle and high school social studies for 18 years, during which time I also taught expository, academic writing. This was a really handy tool. I would usually ask for a volunteer to do the first one (so the whole class could hear an example), and then, I'd ask the class to complete the remaining practice sentences on their own, then discuss with a partner and make any necessary corrections, and then share out at the end with the entire class.

AP Lit Annotated Glossary of Lit Terms Instructions
I had my AP Lit students keep an ongoing annotated glossary of literary terms throughout the year. This helped them not only identify the terms needed for the AP exam but it also helped them understand the importance of them within a passage or poem.What I felt helped students the most with this activity was that it lends itself to teaching students how to write strong paragraphs using the “three C’s” which are explained in the activity.
