Now that Hamlet is FINALLY over, we can focus on other things...like multiple choice! As much as I despise the tedious questions that remind me way too much of the reading section on the ACT, I know I need to work hard on them. I mean, that is what will be on the AP exam, right? I find that the vocabulary words are slowly making their way into my memory bank to be used to answer some of the multiple choice questions. This is huge progress in my mind. The poems are still a little rough, but I guess with more practice they will get easier.
Meanwhile, the blog posts are becoming better. I like revising our old posts compared to first semester's assignments. This helps me go back and look at my own work and see where I can improve.
The new openers are fun, challenging, and I feel like they help a lot. We are able to review didls at the same time. It is pretty obvious knowing didls well is impartitive to do well on the AP exam. Now that spring is approaching, I feel like the main focus is the exam.
I am excited we are starting a new play but the fact that we haven't completely escpaed Hamlet is a little humorous.
Hey, Sam! Great job with this! I like that you talked about some of the smaller things we do in class and how they relate to the AP, since that is the ultimate goal here. One suggestion I would make is to expand a little more on the topics. Other than that, great job!
ReplyDeleteYour first line explained exactly how I felt about Hamlet too... awful. I also agree that even thought I don't like practicing the multiple choice, it is something that will prove to be very helpful when we take the AP test in May. Ugh.. I am not looking forward to that! Our class openers are obviously the best because we are in first hour so I look forward to doing those too!
ReplyDeleteI think we can all agree that it is exciting to be done with Hamlet! I mean it was interesting, but it's definitely time for a change. I'm a little scared for the AP exam, I feel like it's slowly approaching but at a much faster speed than the material is soaking into my brain. I like knowing that my AP's are all that I have to worry about as the year comes around, no finals it great!
