Welcome!

Welcome to the blog for our AP Lit class. It is the space in which we will continue conversations from class and start new ones. We’ll be discussing and debating literary conundrums and so much more. We might even see a little poetry.

So, what’s a blog? And how will we be using it class? For information on blogging and how to join and post to our blog, see “All About Blogging.”

We’re looking forward to a great year.

Make sure you check your e-mail for your invitation to join the blog. Also – and this is very important – before you start composing posts for our blog, you first need to modify your profile. Click on the profile icon in the upper right-hand corner and then click on “Edit Profile.”

Add a “Nickname” that is your first name and last initial only — and then change the “Display Name Publicly As” to that new nickname. We want to provide some anonymity while still allowing your classmates and teacher to be able to identity who you are. For example, “Bernie Heidkamp” would “Bernie H.”

The Old Blogs are Dead! Long Live the Old Blogs!

At present, we use the Edublogs platform for our class blog, which is built on a WordPress platform — one of the most popular and robust web publishing platforms in the world. We had been using the WordPress.com platform directly for several years, and you can still wander around that old AP Lit blog.

For many years before that, we used the Blogger platform for the AP Lit blog, but it was a very limited and bug-ridden platform, and Google eventually stopped supporting it.

If you are interested, though, in seeing what those long-ago AP Lit students have been thinking and writing about, feel free to wander over to the old old AP Lit blog.
