"I know people have been interested in making an AP English T-shirt. I was thinking, that maybe you could make a blog post about it so people could post ideas - a sort of class-brainstorming. Remember, we need to show up all the other AP's!"

About Me
This is my third year at AHS, and I am very excited to be here. I was born and raised in Saint Louis, Missouri and first moved to Massachusetts when I attended Amherst College, where I majored in both English and Russian literature. After graduation, I accepted a Fulbright Scholarship to the University of Tartu in Estonia, where I studied children's literature and semiotics ("the study of signs and symbols"). After a few years in the wide world of business, I decided it was high time to get my Masters in Education from Tufts University and join the staff at Arlington High School. Please don't hesitate to email me; I love to hear from my students and their caregivers. I look forward to getting to know you.

Great idea to use the blog for a discussion (not to say that we can't also raise the subject at breakfast tomorrow ... mmm).
Here's one other thought ... if not a shirt, what about a button? I have the materials to make pretty professional looking 2" buttons on the SUPER cheap and then you can stick it to your bag to wear EVERY DAY without anyone having to complain about body odor.
Just another idea to toss around!
I was thinking we could put something really pretentious sounding on it . . . something to show off our fancy trope names and Latinate diction

buttons or shirts, I'm fine with either. Pretentious could be good; I don't expect many people will agree, but I'm also a fan of my group's translation from Latinate to Germanic phrases: "Deity did not error for dormant pork!" As for pretentious, I'm not sure what should be said, but the idea is sound.
about the button and the shirt, i think they both are good. but i think people would want something that's durable, so i'm not sure...a button might break or get scratched...but a shirt might wear off. i think the shirt would last longer, and probably harder to lose.

"Deity did not error for dormant pork!" is pretty hilarious. Mary has a fair point that the buttons can break ... I'm not THAT good at making them yet, either. But they would be cheap and quick if we don't get organized for something better.
