Welcome to the Blog Hub!


This blog will serve to connect us all to each other’s AP Lang. & Comp. blogs! Be sure Ms. A. has your blog name and address. Then, watch this spot---the Blog List on the right side of the page--- for your blog to appear. You can come here to find blogs to read, and I'll try to post blogging related tips, topics and comments here as posts.

Feeling Shy?
It's fine to conceal your real name and identifying details if you want some sense of anonymity with your peers at Kennedy High School. (I’ll share this hub address with Dr. Ayers and Mrs. Frye, also.) Now might be a good time to check your blog, including any profile, about me, display name, google+, etc. information that is visible. Revise it if necessary.

Who is this for, anyway?
I'm willing to bet that you've done a lot of writing for school and felt like no on really read it. Just the teacher. Not even the teacher. In AP Lang. & Comp. we talk about the audience as a vital part of the rhetorical triangle. Obviously, to practice writing all year without an audience would be silly now, wouldn't it? Well. With the creation and implementation of the Blog Hub, you now have an audience for your writing. This also means that you are an audience for others. Please do read and use the comment feature to respond to what you read.

Add this address to your Blog List! Happy blogging and reading, y’all! J
