random summer post

i got on blogger.com for ap lit and remembered our poor dead english blog. we should keep this going so we can stay in contact with tonya outside of school (since she wont accept our FB friend requests). itll be nice to see if anyone actually comes back to this thing.

RIP?

Could this blog be any more dead?! So sad!

I made cookies for everyone.

Vocabulary

To anyone who can answer,

When the vocab notecards are checked every monday and Tonya asks for the definition of a random word, is that counted as a grade? Are we expected to know the words before class on monday?

I'm just curious for tomorrow.

Hey guys

Ms. Jones! Please never make Mr. Bray our sub again. He's a tool and I dont like him at all. Also, I hope your dog bite isnt infected... See you at school!

AP

ok second semester: GO. can some people please start using this blog thing? its part of my favorites list on google chrome now so lets get it goin!!

Thanks for a great semester Mrs. Jones!! :D

EXAM

Ms. Jones, I was just curious, will you at any point be accepting money, gifts, or any other form of bribery for exam exemptions?

I mean, I'm down if you are, I'll keep it on the DL. I'll even throw in maybe some mini-muffins or a fruit basket. Tempting I know.. Well hey, you still have my number from Saturday night, I believe (craaaaazy night by the way), so just give me a ring and I'll pull some strings and we'll get all these shenanigans worked out.

Works Cited

Ok, so is our works cited page part of our actual research paper and would therefore have the last name and a page number at the top? Or is it a separate thing on a clean sheet of paper?

Bibliography

http://www.representativepress.org/Motivesfor911.html jones could you document this so i know what to do?

Would I include this in my paper or no?

So I'm writing about the Wright Brothers for my paper. I learned that after they made the first flight and other successful flights, they had issues and lawsuit claims from other aviators and feuds with Smithsonian because they would not credit them with the first flight (there was always speculation that even though the brothers were credited with the first lighter than air engine powered flight, continued to experiment with flight after the first one in 1903, and pretty much started modern aviation, that someone else might have been the first to fly an engine powered airplane.).
Should I include this? If so, what section would it be in?

Aaaah!! Questions!

Okay, so let me make sure I've got this straight... When we get back to school we should have 3-4 pages finished. Correct? Is it okay if it is more of a personal rough draft (starting without an intro, handwritten, etc)? Are we actually turning anything in on Monday or do we just need to have some tangible form of essay to review/ work on? Source Cards, do we have to have them with our paper on Monday?

Yes, I know I have alot of questions but I am beginning to stress about this paper even though I know I shouldn't, haha!

Thanks!
