Welcome to AP English!

I would like to introduce blogging as a new activity to AP English this year. Since most of you are already web savvy, much more than I, to be sure, I thought that this medium would be most likely to promote free exchange of ideas about the literature we will be studying this year. This will also give all of you an outlet for free-writing your ideas, a view to how others react to them (your ideas), and the opportunity to hone and sharpen your expression for the final essays you write for this class. This will also put me on the blogspot as well since I will be directing, encouraging, and responding to your comments with my own. Finally, since I will be out of school the last two weeks of September, this blog will give us the platform to continue our literary discussions of the works you are reading during this time. If you have any ideas for bells and whistles to add to this blog (and know how to do them), please let me know. Let the blogging commence!
