Welcome APUSH'ers

Hello AP US History Students of the Summer 2014e,

Many of you are aware that something happened to the blog and posting was disabled. I only just was able to correct the problems with Google this weekend. I have a How to to help those who haven't posted anything, or just need to submit your final comment. Please do so as soon as you can. Deadlines will be extended to Tuesday, August 19th at 10 pm for all the Summer Blog deadlines.

You can access the Help Sheet by Clicking Here.

You need to post comments three different times for your Summer Reading.

Every time you post, you must include your first and last name-- every time you post (get the idea that your name is important?). Without a name, grades cannot be assigned. Keep in mind that we do not know you by name other than from the legal roster, please put any given names not used in parenthesis).

It is IMPORTANT that you use the username and password included in your Summer Reading packet. (username: mcapush2 password: historyrules)

Lindsey Grossman in response to Allie Burroughs

I somewhat disagree with what a lot of you guys are saying. Yes, the book does have more going on, such as an extra good witch, but I still feel that the movie is better. Granted, I did read the book in the eighth grade so I am a little fuzzy on it, but I remember that even then, two and a half years ago, I found the book infuriating in that it was so blunt in giving away the moral. I understand that it was written for children, but so was the movie and I appreciated the movie's slightly more subtle delivery, with the same light, enjoyable tone.
