Are you surprised I knew just when you would start doing your homework for tomorrow? It might be a bit early for some of you, but I want to write the blog before I fall asleep - that has been a recurring theme lately hasn't it? Truth is I had massage therapy this evening, a therapy I would highly recommend, save for the fact that I was in a virtual stupor when I staggered off the table, and I haven't completely regained consciousness yet. Hopefully I'll be a bit more cogent tomorrow morning!
With respect to last days' class, we took a lot more time on the AP essay samples than I expected, but that is good. I want you to be prepared for the challenge of the exam and to feel completely familiar with the expectations when you write it. So, on that note, we will continue with those samples tomorrow and carry on with logical fallacies and Eric Liu. Your homework was to find some sites that tell you how to create an interesting introduction to your essays. I think this is especially relevant on the AP exam - the more catchy, the better the hook, the more you will rouse your reader to really see the beauty, the brains, and the brilliance of your efforts. Just in case you are having trouble getting started with the homework, check out this site on writing introductions.
A` demain!
hey is it too late to offer you reassurance that someone reads the blog? I read the blog. I waste enough time on the internet looking at videos, pictures and quotes that give me the motivation to do stuff so why not read the blog for a change? Keep on keeping on Ms. Mountain!
