AP Language Test Requirements

       At the beginning of class, Mr. Rease passed out a rubric for an essay on the AP exam. It explained that the best score is six and the lowest is zero. You have to have a thesis statement in your introduction but your body paragraphs are the most important. I learned you can get away with just writing a thesis if your a good enough writer. Which I am not so I will stick to and introduction with three body paragraphs and a concluding paragraph. After we reviewed the requirements, we read Macbeth for the last ten or fifteen minutes of class.

Multiple choice quiz and review

    In class today, Mr. Rease gave a quiz on the short story about three rioters. The quiz was easy as long as you know the story, can comprehend the story, and of you know how to do the process of elimination. My problem when taking a multiple choice test or quiz is not those three things, it’s not trusting my decision on the answer. I always second guess myself and I hate that. Last Friday, we took and a quiz on the “Wife’s bath”. I would have gotten an A if I didn’t go back and change my first answer. Since I second guessed myself, I got a 58 as my score. I did improve I teed, the quiz I took today I made a 76. Not what I want but that is a step further to an A.

Don’t know how I did that but next time I am paying attention. I think when I take another quiz I will most definitely do well. These quiz are ...

Using a cluster to write paragraphs

     Today, Mr. Rease left the class an assignment that requires us to get I to our groups from last week and create two paragraphs using the cluster that each group developed. In my group, we did one paragraph instead of two because I helped one of my group members finish the questions from yesterday. Hopefully we will have a few minutes to finish the paragraphs tomorrow.

Reflection

     Today in class, Mr. Rease went over all the questions made by each group from yesterday. Each group had to come up with a question from one of the short story that we read two days ago. Each group answered the questions and we did the process of elimination. We had to choose the best answer. This was fun because I learned something new, wording makes a difference in meaning. The way you word a question will have an affect on the answer or it can confuse someone. Word choice is significant when organizing a question. Another thing that excites me was the fact that my group had the best answer on one of the questions we answered. The question was “What did the golden coins represent in the short story?” Our group said success while everyone else said greed and temptation. The reason why we said success is because society relates success to money. If you have a nice car, a nice house, and nice clothes people will say your successful. In addition, gold coins can not be g...
