Transcript Club 89 - Riverdale High School

Club 89
is an elite literary club comprised of only
the most skillful AP wordsmiths in Dr. White’s classes. To
be a member, you must craft an in-depth response to an
AP essay and successfully deliver it across a minefield…
laden with the most explosive grammatical mines.
As you navigate across this perilous land, you must avoid
serious grammatical pitfalls—insidiously planted
(ironically, by you) for the demise of your grade.
These “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” include
awkward syntax, lack of fluency, insufficient
evidence…and the ultimate grade-killer: a tone that cries
out, “I-don’t-have-a-clue-what-I’m-saying” in its
elementary word choice.
This membership is not for the faint-hearted. Only the
bravest and linguistically adept survive. Oh, they may
lose a leg or two as they mistakenly step on one of the
aforementioned mines, but they persevere and arrive at
the golden gates of Club 89 with content intact.
Only those who have attained the glory shall enter the
hallowed halls of Club 89. These righteous citizens shall
live in harmonious splendor, governed by a distinct
hierarchy of ability.
Those who have once scored an 8 or 9 shall live as Barons
of our great land. Those who have twice met such
distinction shall become Dukes and Duchesses. And those
who have thrice or more survived that “undiscovered
country from whose bourn no traveler returns” shall
govern as Nobles of the Court.
After achieving the rank of Noble, a star is awarded for
each additional 8 or 9 earned.
Finally, he or she who has the highest accrued scores
shall be the Glorious Monarch of Club 89!
(If a tie occurs, kingship shall be awarded to he or she
who bears the highest current average in English IV AP.)
This is no democracy, my friend…this is a meritocracy
where only the strong survive!
