=July 17th, 2011: Tell Your Friends!= toc If you know someone who is in the class and has not yet acquired his/her username and password, please encourage them to do so! I know we have had some difficulties, but I appreciate those of you who have taken the initiative to find the page, read the instructions and contact me. Everyone should have found the page by now, even if they are uncertain about how to log in.

We're about 3 weeks in to our summer vacation, so if you haven't started reading the novel yet, please begin.

And of course--have some fun! Ms. L

= =Welcome To Our AP English Literature and Composition Page!=


 * This is "our" homepage (not the homepage for the whole Wiki).
 * Use the tabs at the top of this page (highlighted in green when clicked), to navigate to the discussion area.
 * You may add to this homepage if you have something fun or interesting you'd like to share with us, but please post AT THE TOP (meaning above) the last post. Think of it like a blog. The most recent post should be the first one we see.

=Journal Prompts and Responses=
 * __Please respond to all prompts in the discussion area__. Please do not "text" us your response. Practice your writing as if you are writing for class, but don't overthink it or feel the need to be overly formal. Just try to be clear and to explain yourself well. Don't assume we know what you are talking about.
 * __To respond to a prompt__, simply click on the discussion tab, click on the "subject", then post your journal response in the box labeled "reply". Spend some time reading others' responses before posting your own.
 * __A minimum journal response will be around 75 words (child's play!)__ The prompts themselves are about that long, so please post a response that is honest and thoughtful and thought-provoking!
 * Respond to the prompt, then enter the conversation __at least once more__ in response to someone else's reply.
