Friday, August 14

I hope that everyone's first day went as smoothly as mine!  I am looking forward to a great year with a great group of students!

AP Language and Composition
We finished going over the syllabus in today's class and attempted to address the class' essential question: "What is argument?"

Homework:  Students need to have their parents read and sign the syllabus, the course content packet, and their accompanying signature sheets.  These are due on Tuesday, August 18.

Students also need to finish their summer reading worksheets, if they have not done so already.  These are due on Monday.  The summer reading tests will begin on Tuesday, August 18.
