Welcome, my little APE's!
(AP English students, in case you thought I was somehow referring to you as a chimp or something...)
This is our new online home for AP English Literature & Composition, and we're going to begin by taking a look at the novel A Room with a View. A few general rules for our work here online, and I apologize if these seem obvious or unnecessary.
1. Read and follow all directions and deadlines carefully.
2. Remember that even though this is online, and you're likely doing some/most of it from home, and behind the veil of "internet anonymity," you're still responsible for everything you post -- both what you say, and how you say it. In other words, if you wouldn't (or shouldn't) say it out loud in class, don't write it here. Okey-doke? That doesn't mean that you can't be spontaneous, and have fun with this -- that's the whole freakin' point.
3. BE SPECIFIC. Provide examples from the text (with page numbers) to back up what you think and say. If and when you challenge other people's postings and ideas, be specific with regards to your questions and concerns.
4. The only big "no-no" is somehow altering or tampering with someone else's posts. Not allowed in any way, shape or form. Not even sure if you can do that or not, but I want to make it clear that it is out of bounds.
