Will the REAL AP students please stand up?

In a class of 160+ AP English Literature students it is sometimes a bit difficult to weed out the lurkers who coast through the class under the shadow of another students "awesomeness" and the truly dedicated and individually brilliant minds. While on my mission from God (more like my mission from my English teacher....) I searched through a select ten blogs. The blogs were:

1. Sara Armas's
2. Michelle Arriaga's
3. Dani Galindo's
4. Owen Iness's
5. Abby Kuhlman's
6. Matthew Patel's
7. Felicitas Ruiz's
8. Chanel Yamaguchi's
9. Alicia Hernandez's
10. Alex Ramirez's

Of these ten blogs, I found three that exceeded expectations and provided a level of creativity/originality that the others did have, but not at the same degree. SO! Our honorable mentions for the ability to make an English course assignment a more enjoyable experience go to:

1. Matthew Patel *applause* (decided I would return the favor for that one time you gave me a round of applause.)
2. Michelle Arriaga *more applause*
3. And Felicitas Ruiz *even more applause*

Now even though Matthew, Michelle, and Felicitas received honorable mentions, that does not take away from the fact that each of the students mentioned above have very informational and helpful blogs that are worth a pageview or two. So to show how much everyone appreciates the work you've done, you too get a round of applause.
