The Yellowjacket Anthology of Literature
-a webquest for AP English Literature students
Introduction
Visit any bookstore in the mall, your public library, or an on-line book seller, and you will find shelves full of anthologies. There are anthologies for every day of the week, every period in history, and every weird preoccupation that someone might have. Now it's our turn. We (actually, you) are going to create the Yellowjacket Anthology of Literature. You will decide which authors and works to include in the anthology, and you will convince your classmates of the worthiness of the authors and works
The completed web page and works for each author (where copyright law allows) will be posted on the school's web page for all to see. Big Brother (and Sister) are watching, so do a good job. Pick an author that interests you. Don't spend your time waiting for the teacher or librarian to select someone for you. You may choose one of the authors we studied in class, but two people cannot work on the same person. If you don't know how to find an athor, start exploring. The resources page of this webquest contains several links, or the stacks or your local library are filled with starting points. Contact me as soon as you have selected your author. I will let you know if that author is already taken. Good luck and enjoy.
