| Introduction | I've designed this blog as a tool for discussion and for the exchange of ideas for students in my AP English class. It is expected that your discourse will be limited to the topic provided each week. I urge you to truly listen to what others are saying before your post your comments, always keeping in mind that it is imperative to discuss and disagree respectfully. Language MUST be appropriate; no personal slurs or comments will be tolerated. It is expected that, in addition to your original comment about the topic, you will post 4 - 5 comments weekly in response to others' postings. Each new topic will be posted on Monday morning and the discussion about that topic will close the following Sunday at 7PM. You will receive a weekly participation grade based upon the number and depth of your postings. |
