How to Find Posts for Your Class

Check this site daily. I will post assignments, notes, and handouts here. I will also pass on important information and announcements.

Use the Search Box at the top left of the site (there is also a search box at the bottom).

If you are an AP English student, you can type in the key phrase "AP English due" to find information about pending assignments. If you are an Freshman English student, type in "Freshman English due."

You can also simply type in "due" to see pending assignments for all classes. Only worry about assignments that have an actual due date posted.


Also pay attention to reminders in the right column of the website. You will see additional due dates there as well.

If you know a key word or phrase for a post or an assignment, you can also type in that term. For example: "SAT B Words," "Literary Terms," "Letter of Introduction," "Persuasive Techniques," "PSAT," "SAT," "College Fair," "Scholarships," etc.

Often you will see new posts that may have nothing to do with what we are presently discussing in class. These posts give you an idea of assignments and activities coming up in the future. It is helpful to browse these posts to prepare yourself. Do not worry, however, about completing these future assignments until a due date is posted.

Hurston chose not to align herself with the political ideologies of ot...
