Yes, my daughter is 8 years old. I am hosting the big party tonight - 15 little kids - do you think I can handle it? Anyway, take a peak into Fun 4 Kids if you're at Park Royal tonight - the woman going crazy will be me!
In today's class, you gave me some helpful and hopefully insightful feedback, in the form of a journal entry, on the four essays you read and presented to the class. Thanks, and I apologize that it took so long. Also, I am sorry we didn't really get to discuss the Hayakawa essay today. I know you are all busy, so I don't like to make you do work when you don't have to. The good news is I hope that essay will serve as an example for argumentation and may help you write your own persuasive essay, should you choose the topic of bilingualism.
I did handout a sample AP prompt for you to consider. How would you write a persuasive essay in 40 minutes on that topic? Next day, we will look at some feedback from a marker about that essay, and different approaches students took. Also Mrs. Berry is coming to teach you about MLA format next class, so that should be exciting! You know Mrs. Berry the marathoner, the triathlete, and the librarian. How cool is she?
Anyway, I just ordered some books from Amazon for us - all AP Prep Books. There are online forums about test-taking for the exam too, in case you want to look.
I'm off to party - not the way you imagine, Ali!
Have a great weekend - with no homework - you are soooo lucky!
