Today in class we took notes over the rhetorical precis format.  I'm working on how to upload the file onto the blog, or link it somehow. (I'm sure Trae could have this done in about 3 seconds. lol) However, you will just have to be patient with me as I learn bits and pieces of this process as I go.

I would like to get feedback on how you feel about the precis format? Will it help you make your thesis statements better? Does it seem like a format you can learn to follow to make a clear, analysis-driven introduction?

Also, vocabulary unit 7 quiz has been postponed until Monday.  I was so caught up in getting the notes completed that I forgot to hand them back! Oops!

A huge thank you to those of you who checked the blog last night and completed the extra credit work! As for the rest of you, I hope you take the time to use this as a tool to help you succeed in AP English. It is here for you to use! Take advantage of it!

Finally, parents and students....please take the time to shoot me a quick email or a comment on here with your opinion on this classroom blog.  This is new for all of us, and definitely a work in progress, but hey....it is the 21st century and a technology driven world we live it.  Might as well embrace it!
