APers.......Very Important!!

Dear Apers....

I have recognized the fact that you have soooooooo much more work to do blog-wise than the Honors peeps, so I am in the process of creating  another blog which will link to this one. Hopefully, this will lessen up the postings on the primary blog and get rid of the confusion and searching for all.

I'll let you know when it's up and ready.

APers only.... No Kitty for You!

Jacob's 180....

APers ONLY.....

If you fail to answer the the 180s we missed in class, your 180 (if we do not get to it in class) will not be posted. Instead, I will post a cute video, such as the one above, which will help to alleviate the class' distress and utter disgust at your failing to help out peers in need. I mean, really, I defy you to remain angry at a selfish peer when faced with such cuteness. Therefore, I will be checking to see that you are helping each other out.


Please enjoy the delightful video know as "Surprised Kitty".

Hello Apers!

 I have decided  that, in all fairness, if we do not get to discuss a Poetry 180 in class we will have a discussion online. Time always seems to run out for us, and I want to make sure that , at least initially, everyone gets some of the class's insight, comments, etc to help with rewrites.

We missed two the other day, Passer-by and The Summer I Was Sixteen, but to keep everything organized I will be giving each poem its own post, so the analyzer does not have to sift through posts which have nothing to do with his/her particular analysis.

That is all.

APers 2008-2009: The New Crew

Hello all.....

Welcome to what I like to call a "little corner of my twisted mind" ...I can, and will, ask you anything... and you can, and will, answer. I miss my past APers....McCole, Taccini, Cosgrove, Mahoney, et al, but I'm really starting to dig you newbies.

I have decided that the theme song for first term is either "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood or "Pressure" by Billy Joel. You guys are driving me up a wall....stop being so afraid to speak your mind and whoop it up. Throw caution to the wind and take a chance. I'm not even really sure why everyone is so panic stricken half of the time. Well, here is your chance to speak your mind. Ask me something....anything....that you need to know. What questions do you still have? What are you fears? Let it all hang out...metaphorically, please.

Just remember that in the end "every little thing is gonna be all right".

Whoop-whoop!
