i’m taking ap english language and composition this year (school starts in t h r e e days ahh!!!), so i figured i’d make a masterpost of resources and tips for my own reference + to help u guys out!

01 // advice people have given me:

take really good notes!!! you’re going to need them

read all required reading. do NOT use sparknotes or anything like that because you will miss all of the little details that are essential.

buy the barron’s prep book (it’s the best one)

learn to annotate properly because it’s another skill necessary for this class

take notes in a dialectical journal format like this one here 

02 // reading list for my school + online pdf of each book

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Crucible by Arthur Miller

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

Sometimes, we think that we’re only attending school to pass-no it isn’t. It’s a place where we learn, gather knowledge, socialize with amiable folks and most importantly, to follow our dreams. School is one of our stepping stone to our dreams and goals. 

School will be here in less than a month now where I live ;( So here’s my tips! 

Supplies

What works for you? (you don’t have to follow what “looks nice” )

Binders & tabs

Notebooks (Staples usually has great deals)

Turn in cartridges for credit!

A week where I relatively got things done! (Yes I did cut that from a Sbucks cup)

Also I recently created a studygram, so follow me on @/studybub!

{January 19, 2017}

It’s pretty dreary outside today, but I still have a few things to do before the day is done. One more class that starts at 3:30 and then I’ll be relaxing!

hello everybody! so ik its been a while since ive made an og post so i figured it was abt time. sooo i decided to have a blog promotion for my new sideblog @autumnalvegan !!! its a blog i made to keep things like fall/autumn pictures, fandoms, vegan food/recipes, aesthetic pictures, photography, etc. separate from my studyblr! anyway, pls read + complete the requirements below, and if u do all the steps, i will promo you on my blog to 2.4k+ dashes!!!

rules (i will check to see that you did all of the following)

reblog this post, likes only count as bookmarks

must be following my studyblr @thegrangersapprentice

must be following my sideblog @autumnalvegan

send me an ask labeled bp for blog promotions and tell me abt anything (book/movie recs, masterpost requests, abt ur day, ur goals/aspirations, ur favorite things, etc.)

this ends on july 30th, 2017. so hurry!!!

Hi!! I’m so absolutely flattered; thank you so much for valuing my opinion! I’d be more than happy to beta read for you, as I would for anyone ^^ google doc links are perfect for commenting if you can do that! Would it perhaps be for the Scholastic Writing Contest?
