Mr. Pogreba is on sabbatical during the 2015-16 fall semester to do some travel, take a course, and write a guide and web site about teaching AP Language. While this site will not update, you can follow his travel blog here.
See you all in the second semester!
The date for the 2015 Summer Alumni, Friends, and Family Hike will be Friday, August 7, 2015. We’ll be meeting in Apgar at the Visitor Center at 10:00 a.m that date before boarding the shuttle to Logan Pass to begin the hike.
The Highline Trail hike is just short of 12 miles and is strenuous more for its length than for its elevation climb. Because of the length and lack of access to resources on the trip, you’ll want to bring plenty of water, food, and sunscreen. The details about the trail are available at this link.
This summer, we’ll return to Wednesday night for Discussion Group. We’ll meet at Scenic Brew at 7:30 p.m. starting on June 17th. If you are interested in discussing a novel this year, bring ideas to the June 17th meeting or send me an e-mail with your suggestion for the group.
Tonight, we’ll be discussing Mark Slouka’s Quitting the Paint Factory at Scenic Brew. See you there at 7:30!
As you begin your work on the propaganda research paper, I’ve put together some resources you might find useful. This is a very demanding assignment, so please begin research and writing as soon as you can.
The Assignment
- The prompt is located here.
- The final draft of the paper will be due on May 20 at 6:00 p.m. You may submit complete drafts for my revision and comment before then, but as we get closer to the due date, my
comments are likely to become less extensive. Start now! - I’ve done research on 20+ topics. You can access those articles here.
Sample Papers
You may not use the topics in either of these papers, but they do provide excellent examples of effective responses to the topic.
