@kruegerfjillian and I are thrilled to be starting our journey in our AP Lang class! #fhslanglife

@ap_abbyfhs I agree!! I see a TON of similes, also. One of my favorites was on page 26: “Glass’s shaming was following him around wherever he went, like Pigpen’s cloud of dirt”. #fhslanglife

While reading my book, I made the connection that “confirmation bias” was a vocabulary word from last year in AP psych! I remember it being on the final exam that I didn’t do too hot on...😮🤯 #fhslanglife

By this, I think that the author was trying to say that this man knew his career and life were over, just as the food solidifying on an abandoned ship would signal that there is no hope for the ship to be recovered. #fhslanglife

I wasn’t sure what this simile was trying to say, so I looked up a few words and discovered that the author was comparing the final tweet of someone who was publicly shamed to food solidifying on an abandoned ship. #fhslanglife

A message I’m seeing in “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed” is that when people are publicly shamed, not only is that person affected, but the guilt of ruining someone’s life also eats away at the exposer. An example of this is w/ Michael exposing Jonah for plagiarism. #fhslanglife

@LDennibaum @bizlabiszakfhs I have not read any books in verse, but I remember hearing about Sold in a book talk last year! I’ll have to find a copy, thanks! #fhslanglife

While reading this book, I decided that reading on the kindle app is easier and more enjoyable than reading a paper copy. I like how you can highlight and bookmark the pages with a touch of the screen. Also, who doesn’t have their phone on them at all times?!🙃#fhslanglife

@ThiemDaniel Awesome! “How We Got To Now” by @stevenbjohnson was my second choice for the required read, but I decided on “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed” by @jonronson instead. How are you liking your book so far? #fhslanglife

[ashley lesser @LesserAshley]

@bizlabiszakfhs I think I prefer poetic form rather than narrative because it makes reading the book as a whole much easier. I like to read in small chunks at a time, so the short chapters and small amount of words on the pages helped me to cruise through this book! 😜 #fhslanglife

@kruegerfjillian How easy is it for you to understand what is being taught in this book? I see a lot of examples for each element that could be very helpful, but I haven’t started it yet and was just wondering. :) #fhslanglife

Thanks to @membean , I learned the meaning of the word “satire” for my AP Lang class! #fhslanglife #membean
