Midnight is the end of the blog

Your comments on the blog have been very helpful and the blog will be making changes come the start of school. So tonight all bets are off and any comments will be approved if they have all the requirements and if they arrive by 11:59 pm tonight. We are excited to meet all of you tomorrow and will discuss this summer assignment. Remember to bring the other parts of your summer assignments (ie: Courage of Convictions essay, Political Quiz, Congress Bill essays) See you tomorrow!!!!

The End of the Beginning

Thank you again to everybody for the hard work this summer on the AP assignment. The site right now is under a "little" construction but I have received all of your comments. They will all be posted by Saturday. But they are being received by Ms. Brant and I so in your comments to the blog mentioning the post time is unnecessary. We are both excited to see you on Monday ready and prepared for a 3-5 on the AP test year!!! On that Monday we will discuss the grading impact of the summer assignment and the pluses of doing it and minuses of not doing it. Until Monday enjoy your last summer weekend!!!

I want to Congratulate all who participated!!!!

So after reading your posts again we wanted to let all of you know that you guys have done amazing. No matter when you posted ALL (school appropriate) will be accepted. We are very excited to see all of you in a week and I am happy all of you are prepared for the school year.

Last Post of Summer

So here is the last option for the summer blog adventure...and it is a really easy one. All you you need to answer are these two questions and enjoy your last week before your senior year begins. Each question should be answered with 2 paragraphs.

1) What are three positives you have found from doing the blog this summer? You need to be specific.

2) What are three things you would change about the blog or the summer assignment? And writing about not doing it is not an option.

P.S. Get that summer assignment done it is due in a week and three days. See you in a couple days.
