52 Mondays Clarification

Come up with a simple thing you wish more people would do; something that would make the world a little better. Create a short argument to convince people to do it by including facts about the issue (just list source or name of website on the back), action steps you want people to take, and a section on why individuals should care (what's in it for them). Make sure you have fun with it, make it look cool, and include some kind of visual.

August Reminder

Hello future AP Langers!  It is August and, as promised, I'm sending you a reminder.  If you haven't finished (or started) those summer books/assignments, it's time to get crackin'!  If you have already finished and you're wondering what to do with said assignments, here is the answer:

First, some special instructions.  You need two separate documents for your Amusing Ourselves summary and the passages.  If they're in one document, just go in, cut the summary and paste it into a new document which you can title "Amusing summary" (as I'm sure they all are!) or something else that will help you tell the difference.

Next, go to Turnitin.com and log in to your account.  If for some reason you don't have an account, create one.

Then, click on the "Enroll in a Class" button.  Class ID:  5320503.  Enrollment password: grissom

From there you can submit your assignments.  They are due by the first day of school but you can submit them anytime starting today.  Also, if you find a mistake, need to fix something, want to do it over--whatever--you can resubmit as many times as you want until the first day of school at 8 am.

Remember that all details of the assignments are found here on the blog and I am happy to answer questions as well if you will please email me at ms.kim.grissom@gmail.com.

Enjoy the last two weeks of summer--go do something fun!
