Hello, my fearless AP Students!

Welcome to AP English. This class is a joy to teach and I am so excited to work with you this year!

This blog is a first for me--I invite you to join me in the adventure. Increasingly, colleges courses have students participate in online forums where they post their thoughts and engage in dialogue with each other.

In order to prepare you for the rigor of college, we are giving that concept a try here on this blog.

Occasionally, we will have a conversation on the blog. I will post a topic as the blog entry, and your job is to respond to it and to your classmates' comments. Your response will count as a homework assignment, and there will be a blog rubric posted on Edline. My hope is that students who have qualms about participating in class will find a voice in writing on this blog. I respect all of your ideas and I want to hear from you--all of you.

I look forward to getting to know you and to developing our AP family. We will continue to discuss this type of assignment in class.

Best,
Ms. Rouleau
