BEA Lit Insiders 176 books / 534 members / 215 posts Welcome to the BookExpo America Lit Insider group on Shelfari!
What the hell is a BEA Lit Insider? Well, BEA is the 2nd largest book fair in the world and takes place every June. This year the show is in L.A. and I'd love tohear from any West Coasters that are interested in the show or are planning on going. By the way, I’m the director of BookExpo America and you can check out my blog and learn more about how books are “made” www.mediumatlarge.net

AP English Teachers 142 books / 216 members / 224 posts A place for AP English teachers to share all the great lit we read/teach on our serious days, and all the "trash" we read the rest of the year:-)

To join, please use the form to the right to send the admin a member request. Please include which AP English course you teach (or if you teach courses that "feed" into AP English). If approved, you will receive an invitation to the group.

Ms. Z's AP Nerds 28 books / 14 members / 4 posts This is a private group for discussion of books that we have read or that we will read in and outside of the classroom in Ms. Ziegenmeyer's AP English 12 class at Spotsylvania High School. You need permission to join -- but ask -- if you're cool enough or nerdy enough, we just might let you!

A few instructions and reminders:

1) Good English reigns here, too. Write in complete sentences and DO NOT use "internet shorthand." What you do on your own pages is your business, of course, but any discussion thread on this site needs to be standard English.

2) I will add books we are reading together as a class to the Group Shelf. Any book you'd like to add to the shelf (or are adding as a part of an assignment) needs to be of AP quality. If you're not sure whether or not it is, ask me. Remember, on your Shelfari page, you can put whatever you like.

3) Politeness is mandatory. Show respect for all the opinions posted here even if they differ greatly from your own. No profanity or vulgarity is allowed. Posters violating this policy will find their grade suffers as a result.

4) Posts need to be meaningful. "Me, too," "I hated it," "I loved it," and so forth as the sole body of a post do not a meaningful post make.....
