EQT

    I took an EQT! Which is a waste of time apparently. Now I know I suck at essays and multiple choice. I am done with AP. Failed!

Pop quiz

   Today, Mr. Rease gave the class and unexpected quiz. We had fifteen minutes to read a short passage and answer eleven questions. The test was difficult due to the vocabulary, I did comprehend most of the passage. After the class finished the quiz, Mr. Rease put everyone in groups of three based on the scores each student made. He put two students in each group that did not do so well and put one person in each group the did extremely well. He gave the class a second chance to get a better score and in the end everybody got an A. During this process, I learned not to second quests myself and read the questions carefully. I am disappointed of the first score I made and next time I will put forth more effort because it’s not about how smart you are, it’s about how much effort and confidence you have.

Reflection

    Today, instead of reading a new story, Mr. Rease put the class into groups of three. Each group was assigned two questions and we had ten minutes to answer them. After each group finished we all shared our answers. Mr. Rease taught us new skills and that each answer should be backed up with textual evidence. The overall discussion was engaging and I learned something. Mr. Rease even gave each student 100pts to use for any grade, minor or major. This is an awesome idea and now the class seems more attentive,  Mr. Rease said that if we do not engage or pay attention, he will deduct out of our 100pts. I do not think anyone wants that, especially me after the bad grade I received on one of my multiple choice quizzes.

Answer questions on the Canterbury Tales

   Mr. Rease was not here today and the class had a substitute teacher. The assignment that Mr. Rease left for us was to answer 1-9 Critical Reading questions on page 119 in the green literature book. The questions were easy and I really enjoyed giving my opinion in some of them. I like the fact that the moral of each short story is similar. The way Chaucer judges the other characters and his justifications of why. He does not like Frier because he sleeps around and steals from the poor. He likes the Parson because he does nothing wrong even though he does not comply with his duties. The moral that I received from the short stories and the from answering the questions is don’t judge someone based on their position but on their merits.
