There is a list that has most, if not all of the passages we read throughout the year on the AP Exam Review page. There is also a link to flashcards of all the schemes and tropes we learned earlier this year. If there is anything else that would be helpful, be sure to post it up on the page. Don't forget that AP Central is a great resource straight from the makers of the exam.


 * Don't forget to complete the review sheet by May 9th or turn it in before the exam at the latest! Click on the link for more help with the [|Toulmin Model of Argument]**

4/18/11: Update for Wiki additions
For the current events extra credit posts, please put them under the "Current Events" page. The requirements are to examine one of the topics we discussed from an opposing view, research a certain small aspect of the topic, or find the same topic being reported by a different news source. Also, a new __Paradise Lost__ page has been added for any reliable sources or any discussions or questions you may have. There is also the option of posting your "cast" of the demons for extra credit. The cast should comprise of actors, characters, or any famous icons with a short explanation of why you chose this person.

3/28/11: **Update on TurnItIn.com**

=**To all Block 3 students:** = =The code for your TurnItIn.com assignment is **3891812**. The password is: **seven** (that is, the word seven, all in lower case letters). Please e-mail me at __cohenli@palmbeach.k12.fl.us __ if you have questions. =

= 3/9/11 = There will be a mock AP exam the Monday, 21st right before we come back from Spring Break at Suncoast. It will be in the Media Center 9:30 am. If you take the exam grades will be given for it. Remember to bring pencils, a black pen, and notebook paper. The exam lasts 4 hours, so remember to bring snacks (caffeine/simple sugars).

2/10/11 I did some editing of the navigation links to the left -- I can see why you took them down. Confusing. It's a good lesson though on the kind of "trees" and organizational structures web designers need to think about. I didn't include all of the links. Maybe we can consolidate some of these? Like: Argument, Visual Rhetoric, Text Analysis, Synthesis/Research. Maybe also link the "Provoking Thought" idea to the main page's discussion section for some simplification. Also, I found an excellent listing of web tools that you might wanna experiment with: http://c4lpt.co.uk/Directory/index.html# "Learning Tools Directory"

Great stuff going on here. I'm so impressed by the work. I think the immediate goals are to continue to increase involvement (more class members using and contributing) and to continue to fine-tune what kind of materials and conversations will be useful here. ~Ms. C

2/2/11 A Current Events page has been added to keep up to date with what is occuring around the world and discuss our opinions on the matters.

Feeling like Confucius? Visit the new Provoking Thought page and add some of your musings and ideas about any and all topics.

2/1/11 Great on the YouTube having trouble finding a "room" in Meebo-- have to learn more about it. But for now, let's just use Skype: Sign in to Skype. The room is called Block 3

My username: lisaxcohen

1/31/11 There has been a request for a Live Chat; excellent idea. I looked around for a chat tool that wasn't blocked at school (as of yesterday). Create a sign in. Things to know: I will be in room Block3Cohen at 9:00 pm tonight (2/1/11). I will try to set earlier times in the future. The code to gain access is: block3
