Welcome and Basic Guidelines

Welcome to the AP English Summer Reading Blog! We are excited to offer this exciting opportunity for discussing and sharing our thoughts on the great pieces of literature we will be reading this summer.

We will begin the blog with one prompt per summer read. The posts may contain multiple questions; however do not feel as though you have to address every question. We are putting multiple questions up to decrease the amount of repetitive answers/responses. Your job will be to respond to our post with an original response, and then comment on the responses of two other classmates. Be sure that you comment a total of three times for each summer read. You will receive credit for doing so, therefore be sure to include your name (you could use your first initial and last name if you'd like), especially if your email address does not verify your identity to your teachers. Really, the blog is meant to be a pretty informal forum for us to talk about the readings, post interesting insights, and ask any questions that are boggling your mind.

A few guidelines:

  • Be sure to keep it positive and academic!
  • No inappropriate language.
  • Be clear as to whom you are responding.
  • Please note that before you can begin posting, you must be invited to the blog by either Mrs. Armstrong or Mrs. Braasch. Please email either teacher and include your name and email address, so you can beging blogging!
  • Armstrong's email: armstrk@brightonk12.com
  • Braasch's email: braascj@brightonk12.com

Have a great summer and happy reading!
