Summer Assignment 2017

Welcome to the AP Biology summer blog for 2017. The summer assignment will work as follows:


  • Once a week, I will post a few links to current science articles that I find interesting/entertaining
  • You pick a few, or all, of the links and read through them
  • Post a comment on the blog post about the article(s) that you read. Comments can be anything, as long as it demonstrates that you have read the article and put some thought into your response
  • If your comment occurs within the week of posting, you will receive maximum points for that week
  • Comments are moderated, so it may take a few days for your comment to show up
I hope to get the first official post (that you will have to comment on) up on the week of July 10; the final post will be the week of August 28. 

In the meantime, some things you can do:


1. Become a follower of the blog. There are two ways to do this, both can be found a little ways down on the right hand sidebar. If you follow via email, Blogger will send you notifications of new posts. There is also the option to subscribe to an RSS feed for both posts and comments.

2. Follow me on Twitter (@DrHMTHS). There is a button to the right to do this quickly. I will be posting on Twitter when new posts are up. If you do not have a Twitter account, it is probably a good idea to go ahead and get one; we will be using it in my class next year.

3. If you know of a time frame which you will be unable to comment due to vacation, follow this link to complete the form to let us know before you leave for vacation. We will make arrangements with you as far as making the missed weeks up. If you do not let us know ahead of time, the missed weeks will count as zeros.
