The longest trip was to London, Paris and Rome, and the coolest trip was to Central European Citites, and now that we have Claire we [...]

We’ve begun going to talk to the current Sophomore Honors students about AP English & American Studies. Mostly the course curriculum they disregard until we get going because there’s just too much, and typically they can’t wrap their minds are AP vs American Studies vs AP Exams vs Dual Enrollment.

Last year during the National Honor Society induction, I was to give the welcome and didn’t know what to say. My wife had bought me this fun tie with these turtles on it. I formulated this speech in my head as I drove there about turtles and our children being like turtles. It became an [...]

Lizbdavis has made a post of her greatest hits screen casts! I am totally stoked. I found Liz online a couple months ago now when searching for a del.icio.us tutorial because I was too lazy to make my own. hahahaha. She’s like me, but female and on the other side of the country.

This Friday we’re headed to Hamilton High School to observe their American Studies course before a meeting with their instructors. At last week’s meeting the admin laid down the expectations of how we, the AP Language and the AP US History teachers, will work together on everything.
