Computer lab work

If you're reading this, it's likely the AR system is not working. Here are links to some sites to use your time well today if you can't take the AR test or you've finished the tests you came to take.


The first is a list of books used in years past on the AP Lit test. AP students should choose at least three titles from the list to read independently this year.

I'd like for all my students to be familiar with this useful site: The OWL (Online Writing Lab) at Purdue  has the best explanation of MLA style as well as useful learning exercises. Carefully work through one or two of these exercises before you move on to another activity. Choose the area in which you think you need improvement. I think these on sentence structure are especially relevant for students.

Another useful site for students is Quizlet. You can make study flash cards here or use sets that others have made. Test your knowledge of literary terms here.  There are some games linked with the cards that
you may find challenging and fun.

You may choose to look at some college sites to be sure you understand their requirements for admission. Here are a few likely favorites, but feel free to find other schools you may have in mind.
UNF     UF     FSU     FAMU     UCF    Stetson     FIU  

Finally, there are a few game sites permissable today. One is a puzzle that never loses its appeal: Setgame. If you haven't played before take the tutorial before you try it.

Another game is a vocabulary builder that purports to give rice to countries that need it when you play. While I'm not sold that it is a great act of charity, it is fun. Play at Freerice.com

Is there another sitre you think would be fun and educational? Ask me in class and you may be able to use it.
