The Book List Is Going Live Right Now

Lovelies,

Tomorrow we will be discussing all things books.  So here it is:  Beltran's AP Language Book List - First Semester.  I don't know how long I will keep this link active so grab it while you can.  Either print it, copy it, take a picture of it, etc.

The expectation is that you show up to class tomorrow with knowledge of the list. 

We will be working with it in class and engaging in the lesson:  We Read.

Thanks for the attention today...The Circle Thingy, y'all.  It's everywhere.

Love and Light,
Beltran

  36. Although I've never been a "reader", this class has already helped me develop "open hands" and I hope that by the end of the school year, I will love reading because of how beneficial it is to grow one's vocabulary and knowledge. See you tommorow!
