Mrs. Bowe's Edublog

During our Heart of Darkness study, you are required to post five different times and to also respond to your classmates’ posts. Respond to those classmates who have the same critical approach and keep your responses focused on the critical approach. You will find the different stations under the critical approach. Please be careful and post where you should.

You will see a link to the right for your particular critical approach. Type your response in word or notepad, run spell check, and then cut-and-paste into the blank space.

I will be able to see what you have posted. You do need to identify yourself at the top of your post so that I don’t have to play a guessing game as to your identity.

Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year at William Penn High School!

AP English Literature and Composition is a college level critical reading and writing course. It is rigorous with the explicit purpose of challenging you to excel at your highest level of achievement.

In order to excel, you will need to be able to communicate your ideas effectively and manage your time effectively. Please make sure that you have a working computer and printer, email address, and a calendar that you will use throughout the year.

You are expected to express validated and supported opinions on the literature we read in class discussions, in writing, and on this edublog.

You are expected to meaningfully interact with the literature, the criticisms, and each other throughout the year.

I look forward to each and every day with your class.

Welcome back!

Summer Reading Assignments 2010

Please make note – students who do not complete the summer reading assignment will be given an alternative due date structure during the first marking period. You will be penalized not by a decrease in your grade, but by the increase of your work load as you will be responsible for completing both the summer reading assignment and all the other assignments for mp 1.
