Audio Test and information

So, the quest to post some audio Wuthering Heights information has proven difficult from a technology standpoint.  I've posted an audio test (pretty much just me saying "testing") to see if this format works.  I also have enabled comments below, so if you can hear me, post that you were able to.

Also, please make sure to keep all comments appropriate, and I apologize in advance if internet people get a hold of the comments and post random stuff.  That's why I normally have comments disabled, but these are strange times.

Also, no promises that I will actually end up using this format.  I'm just curious to see if it will work.


The AP people have said that they are looking into online testing options if necessary, so it looks like we are still operating as if AP testing is on.

Stay posted.

Audio Test

March 13th Update-Virus Hiatus

The AP people have released the following statement regarding testing.  You can read it here.

The good news is that it currently looks like AP testing will continue with the possibility of test dates pushed later as appropriate.

For us, this means we will continue to prep for our AP test. 

Check back in the next few days as you continue your work with Wuthering Heights. 

In the meantime, work on reading Chapters 10-12.  There will be a "discussion" after Chapter 12 to make sure we are understanding the significance of what's going on.

Victorian Prose Passage Assignment
