2007-2008 AP Lit Students

Guys, I just wanted to let you know that I'm proud of each of you. AP scores were never my driving motivation. It was more important to me that we all had the opportunity to deeply engage with literature and learn to know ourselves. Your final film projects we incredible, and I thank you for your effort.

If you're the type of person who likes results and numbers, be comfortable in the fact that result-wise, we had our best year ever, with four people earning College Board credit. Although I don't know who you are (haven't seen the score sheets, for reasons explained below), wonderful job. I'm glad your hard work paid off. For the rest of you, I commend you for your hard work and devotion to the subject. Let this be a practice run for the real thing.

I wish all of you the best of luck in your future endeavors, and make sure to drop me a line to inform me of your educational success. I have decided to seek new opportunities outside of the Buffalo Public School district, but can be reached via email (mrmalley04@yahoo.com). Better yet, befriend me on Facebook.

Again, good luck in all that you do.

To anyone outside of class who has been checking in on what we're doing, I am retiring this site, as I'm no longer tangibly in room 305 (although spiritually I will always be there...or something like that). If you like the kind of stuff my kids did, stop back. I'll be posting links to my new classroom blogs in the coming months.
