@@ THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED FREQUENTLY
WITH GENERAL DIRECTIONS, NOTES, INSTRUCTIONS.CHECK
IT FIRST WHEN YOU LOG ON!
Then go to the appropriate pages, either pre-AP, AP
Language, or AP Literature. @@
==If you are new to the AP ENGLISH classes and have not given me a copy of
the 5-page information form, you may download it (first item under the AP
LANGUAGE DOWNLOADS ICON). BRING IT TO CLASS THE FIRST DAY.
==When school starts, you should have read the assigned material so
you don't have to scramble to catch up.
==Once school starts, always FOLLOW THE SYLLABUS CLOSELY OR YOU WILL NOT KNOW
WHAT IS GOING ON.
****NOTE: ==This year you are expected to contribute a ream of paper as part
of your school supplies. Please bring it in as soon as you can--or we can
arrange for you to bring it in later on (We DO have a storage issue in my
small room.)
Also, you are encouraged to bring in hand sanitizer, paper towels, and
tissues as part of the original supply list. These are expected and not for
points. It's a rough budget year, and we have no money for basics, so your
helpfulness would be appreciated!

===========================================================================
SIGNED TESTS!!!--If you make below a 70 on a test, you must have your
parents sign it, and then you must return it promptly. It's embarrassing
for you if I have to call to find out where the test has gone. PLEASE
RETURN IT WITHIN A DAY OR TWO.

==PUNCTUATING QUOTATIONS:
Modern English Handbook: Sixth Edition, Gorrell and Laird
Periods and commas are always placed inside quotation marks. All other
punctuation marks are inside if they punctuate only the quoted words,
outside if they punctuate an entire sentence containing a quotation.
--The rafters used a long handspike, which they called a “picaroon.”
--He asked me to open the “boot”; I did not understand.
--“Are you ready?” I asked.
--Do you know who said that "life is but an empty dream"?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
==IF YOU NEED SOMETHING PRINTED, USE THE CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS!! Everyone
needs a job to be involved in APE, INC.

=============================================================================
****SAVE-THE-TEACHER APE RULE #1:
COLLECT A NUMBER OF FRIENDS WHOM YOU CAN CALL WHEN YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR
COMPUTER PROBLEMS--PEOPLE WHO WILL ADDRESS A QUICK NEED OR PRINT UP A COPY
OF SOMETHING IF YOUR PRINTER IS DOWN. YOU SHOULD SHARE PHONE NUMBERS AND E-
MAIL ADDRESSES WITH PEOPLE IN YOUR GROUP AS YOUR FIRST LINE FOR HELP. CALL
OR WRITE THEM--OR THE SOCIAL WORKERS!-- IF YOU NEED CLARIFICATION ABOUT SOME
SMALL DETAIL. SAVE ME FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND SIGN-UPS.
THANKS! =)

==RICHTEXT STEPS--for sending attachments
--Open your document, go to FILE on the toolbar menu and then to SAVE AS.
Adjust the options (SCROLL) in the window at the bottom of the page to
richtext (RTF) file.
--Double CLICK and it will give you options (window/box) as to what part
(FILE FOLDER) of the computer to save it in. I have a special folder for
such things under "MY DOCUMENTS" in the "C" hard drive. When the window/box
opens, you decide where to save.
--SAVE IT to your computer where you can find it!
--With your mail open, hit the ATTACH ICON OR BUTTON (it's different with
various programs). For many mail systems, you will see a PAPER CLIP as a
clue that you are getting ready to ATTACH a file to send to someone.
--You will see your computer's C drive. It will open in its own little box,
right there in front of you. Find the document where you stored it (the
document has to be closed--you can't have it open on your computer or it
won't send!!!)
--Click on it twice, and it will attach to your mail.
--HIT SEND, and it should be on its way to the recipient.
