Trimester Two, Blog Nine
Reflect upon Trimester Two, and decide how you’ve grown as a reader and/or writer this trimester. Provide specific examples. Additionally, state the specific areas in which you would like to see more growth during your LAST trimester of AP English. This will help me plan some of the activities that we do.

Trimester Two, Blog Eight (due 2/8 at midnight)
Did you know that nearly every day is a holiday dedicated to one person/item/event or another? Of course, we’re all aware of major holidays such as Valentine’s Day (which, to a cynical mind, is Hallmark’s way of fleecing American saps), but did you know that you just missed Bubble Wrap Appreciation on January 26? On a more serious note, the United Kingdom celebrates Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27.
If you could propose a new holiday, what would you propose? Why do you believe that this holiday deserves consideration? How would people celebrate this holiday? Obviously, you can choose to take this down a funny or a serious road. Please remember that it’s okay to incorporate humor, but also remember to be tasteful and to remain inoffensive. You can be funny without “crossing the line.” You will not receive credit for holidays that your audience (Miss Stump) deems “over the top.” It is also completely acceptable to propose a more serious suggestion.
