I apologize for the terrible arrangement of the papers. The format won't cooperate. Click on the images for a more readable version of Dr. Bailey's guidelines regarding the Senior Project. 

Your project must have at least 7-9 pages, double spaced. You have two weeks to think of a topic. 

On her site, as soon as I find it, has posted a list of topics ready to be scanned by students. *Remember your topic should be a question~ Any questions? Post a comment or consult Dr. Bailey. 

*** You also need at least 10 sources:

        ☐ At least one book resource

        ☐ Two interviews

                   Basketball season is coming. Let's cheer on some Griffins!!! ~  

                         Vocabulary is due on Thursday~ 

                                             Again, sorry for the lateness of some news~ 

                                                                  (For AP Lit)

            Do not forget the Parade of Horrors~

Next thing on the list:

☑Early dismissal on Wednesday, October 23. I'm sure you guys are probably aware of that. I would like to advise you guys to start your BINDER PROJECT for social science or AP Government. Right after school you could choose to buy the materials first then later on in the day or night, work on it like it was going to be due the following day. That way you can see what you can get done on under that amount of pressure. The actually due date November 12. However time flies, take advantage of this half day.

☑ Senior Portrait Week:

Don't forget that if you didn't sign up for a day, a day was already picked out for you. Please check on the auditorium door to see which day you were assigned. PLUS do not forget your $10.00 sitting fee. 

☑ Seniors also have a roller skating trip. I heard it was $10.00. I'll post more information on that as soon as possible. 

☑ South Philly Teen Orchard

If you are free on a Saturday, October 26, 2013, there is a FREE Fall Festival. FOR ALL AGES. 

It's from 3-6pm. At 4 pm, they are holding a costume contest! Check it out! I'll remind you guys through out the week~

Welcome!

    Hello fellow classmates, I find Facebook troublesome. I uploaded pictures of the AP Lit vocabulary however I find myself scrolling through endless crap some people post up. So I want to try to upload the words and homework up on this blog. I hope you guys find it helpful. This will also make me remember my assignments as well. I wonder how long I can keep this up. I will still go on Facebook but on a weekday basis is where I'll spend most of my time.

Here it is so far Vocabulary #1-5:

Well, that's it for now. You guys can comment or if you guys have any questions let me know. I also want to start putting my ask.fm to use. I'm going to post up a link soon. 

For now, go study and good luck~
