Heart of Darkness AP Lit Unit Plan

This complete selection of unit materials comprises a 6-day unit of readings and activities to support students’ reading of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. Reading comprehension is supported by teacher guided-reading activities, supportive reading notes, and teacher-led discussions, as well as a wide variety of in-class activities: a pre-reading activity and discussion, a presentation (Prezi) with rich historical information and art, small group work, a New Historicism mini-lesson, and many more enriching learning experiences that will yield deeper thinking and stronger analysis writing in the AP Literature classroom.
