Some of you are not posting, posting late or posting without thought. I am grading each response based on analyzation, content, depth, flow, grammar, usage, mechanics and spelling. An excellent response receives a "95"/A, an above average post obtains a "85"/B, an adequate answer garners a "75"/C and no response or a late comment acquires a zero. I average all the grades for a final score. The top 21 will be accepted within AP Lit & Comp. If for some reason some students earn the same scores, an entrance exam on The Life of Pi will be administered. I wish to make this very clear, there will not be 36 students in AP Lit & Composition just because you signed up for this class or because it is stated on your schedule for Fall 2016. Ask former AP students, people have been removed from class on the first day. Believe or not believe.
