Welcome to AP Lang & Comp!

Welcome to AP® English Language and Composition! I am looking forward to a fast-paced, productive, and enjoyable semester with you.We will be using this blog as an integral part of our class. You will be responsible to read and respond to the entries posted here. In order for you to work effectively with this blog, you need a blog of your own. Don't set one up just anywhere, but carefully follow the directions given below to set up a blog on learnerblogs.org. Don't go there yet. Read everything and follow the directions. If you do the wrong thing or have trouble or leave something out because you didn't follow the directions, you will start out behind.

Assignment

Your first assignment is to

  1. Read the blogging guidelines page linked at the top of the page. Then follow the setting up your blog link at the bottom of that page. Set up your blog according to those directions and email the requested information to mr.giddings@comcast.net.

  2. Read pages 1-9 in our textbook and blog (put your answer on the blog instead of paper) the assignment on page 9-10 analyzing Einstein's letter to the little girl. We will discuss this work tomorrow, so you may want a copy with you in class.

  5. Mr. Giddings, I suggest we change the name of our AP class. "2nd Period" isn't very catchy... in fact, it's just kind of lame.

    How about "Class Awesome"? ... I'm also liking the name, "Manfred." Yes, so for now on, when refering to second period AP English, you may simplify it to "Manfred." ...Beats "Original AP Class" by a mile.

    (I hope I have enough brownie points to _SPAM_ like your previous AP students. ;D)
