Students have the opportunity to read amazing books and to share their understanding of the world with one another and with me. For 14 years, this has been a space for students to really grow and learn as readers, writers and thinkers. Finally, it's a great place to prepare kids for the rigors of collegiate work.]]> 2020-08-26 14:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/700023429 andrewrobinson1 https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/727050759 I took this class because I want to learn more about the different periods of literature and I wanted to watch Shakespeare's plays.

It seemed like a helpful class. Also because we will have a unit on college work (preparing for college, writing essays for college, etc.)]]> 2020-09-08 13:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/727063890 https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/727070734 I took this class because I wanted to learn to improve my writing technique and style.

People were telling me that it was a challenging class which motivated me to try it. Also, since it's an AP class I would earn more knowledge and experience than going to a normal or advanced one.]]> 2020-09-08 13:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/727102461 danielgarciapoz https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/727123243 I've always been interested in the analysis and dissection of literature, and the content of this class seemed very appealing to me as a result. I've also heard good things about Mr. Ragsdale from my sister, so I wanted to take a course with him before I finished up my high school career.

Learning how to read literature more closely and effectively is a good skill in general, applicable to most things in life (because we need to read).]]> 2020-09-08 13:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/727132201 https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/737623236 I chose AP Lit because I wanted to challenge myself and because I wanted to see what it felt like to take a college class. ]]> 2020-09-11 02:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ragsdaled/tzy2h3qzmuelgr53/wish/737623236
