OH NO! Only 9 more weeks until school starts. The HORROR!!!Welcome to my 'official' AP English homepage. During the school year I will be posting my plans for that coming week. So any reading or writing assignments you can know about in advance. I want to get most of you in the habit of coming here when you are absent, or EVEN BETTER, before you're absent (most of you know when you'll be missing days) so that you aren't pestering me upon your return of what you've missed. It will all be right here.
Later this summer I'll be posting questions about "C&P" that I would like you to respond to, but some of you won't start the book for several more weeks so I'm going to wait on that. However, until then I will be linking to several interesting articles and for those of you so inclined, feel free to read and comment on.
In an attempt to get you to become regular readers of this site I have posted a section for useful links that I think will be, well, useful for you and some personal stuff like what books I'm reading this summer.
So to kick it off, here's a link to a NY Times story I read a few weeks ago about these prestigious high schools having to force their students to eat lunch b/c in the quest to get ahead the students were scheduling classes through their lunch hour and it was causing issues, physically and emotionally. These are the kids you'll eventually be competing against in the 'real world' ... what do you think?
