I don't know if anyone else noticed, but we are nearing the AP exam with shocking rapidity! That's right, the AP exam is May 16 at 8:00 a.m - you should be there at 7:45 for sure! You have 12 days left to study - review vocabulary lists, practice multiple choice, and write some essays with AP prompts. We have 4 classes left to review and practice together. Can you feel the pressure? Are you reading this post - I HOPE so!
Our class today was awesome don't you think? Can I pick those baby sitters or what? Hopefully they gave you some insight into what to expect at university and the kind of writing that will be required. University sounds hard, doesn't it? But, the good news is, you are well-prepared to dive in and make a splash.
FOR HOMEWORK:
- Please write 500 words in response to Chris Hedges' essay. Seriously. Write a persuasive piece, a rhetorical analysis, or a synthesis among his essay and some other texts we have read. Be clear to identify the topic you are writing about and refer to the text with supporting quotes and details. This is not a formal essay - just write a good journal; imagine it is a practice AP question.
- Vocabulary Quiz on Unit 4 on Monday.
- Then you should study! Michael, Dallas, Eva - the study group should meet soon!
Have a great weekend.

I was checking the blog just to make sure we didn't have any homework.
ReplyDeleteApparently we have homework.
To add to my plight: the final countdown is now stuck in my head.
