The Facts.

As a new year is upon us, so is a restart in our curriculum blogging. No, we're not starting from scratch and redoing every single assignment (Hallelujah!). But to get newcomers on the same track, my personal take on this spring semester cleaning intro is to introduce the course's idea mixed with blogging in my own aesthetic. So away we go...


Let's keep it short and simple: This blog is connected to an group of about 95 students all taking an AP English Literature course. We use these sources to critically think and involve ourselves in multiple types/titles of literature, thinking outside the "schoolwork" box, etc. Our posts are organized, as seen on this page, in how we are assigned the homework on a daily or weekly basis. It's a bit hit and miss on one general point yet every post so far relates to a study done in this AP course. For the next few months, all of the blogs (mine included) will be transformed into an interactive resource for studying for the AP English Literature exam in May. It's an outlet to those who may need that extra push, people who normally wouldn't have complete access to a regular sit-down class, or anyone who is just interested in this project or English literature. Although we, collectively as 4 separate classes, are still brainstorming for a certain name to call this endeavor, we're shifting to the next gear and trying to get as many people involved as possible. So, for the person (or people) reading this post, in particular, don't be afraid to recommend this to peers or fellow students. It's a free for all of info...in a technological sense.


To get an even better idea for our day to day itinerary, here is the link to the creator of this interactive new-age learning:

Any questions or comments you have, I'd be happy to get involved in conversations and answer. So without further ado, this is the revolution of the AP English Literature study group.
