Blogging for AP

Dear APES (Advanced Placement English Students),

You were given directions to make a blog. You will have to complete Micro Blogs (100 word posts about your 10 day trinket(s)) on a daily basis during academic cycles, and Macro Blogs (250+ word arguments in relation to pop culture) twice a week during shop cycles. (These MUST be completed during weekdays, not weekends.)

Now, all I want you all to do, once you have created your blogs--please, folks, try and use your name (e.g. MrFreitas.blogspot.com)--is add a comment on this post that identifies your blog URL. Also, feel free to read and professionally comment on your peers' blogs. Any blogs that use and correctly cite other students' blogs will receive a higher grade. Enter into conversations!

Remember, I do check these almost daily and randomly grade them. So, do your work.

Sincerely,
Mr. Freitas
