April 15

As with Wednesday's class, we are preparing for the ACT exam. Wednesday concentrated on MC tips, and today featured writing prompt organizational strategies. I have e-mailed all juniors with two links to help you prepare for the writing prompt.

During class, we broke into groups to complete a team essay - one paragraph per person. If you were absent, you will need to e-mail me for the assignment. Absentees will need to write 1 body paragraph arguing the perspective that they have chosen and include evidence to validate the position.

Meanwhile...

1 & 7: You will need to finish your assigned individual paragraph for the team writing prompt. On Monday, we will go over your AP argumentation score and your overall score on the exam. I can't wait to see how many of you scored the magic five! Following all that fun, we will begin the review for the AP exam, which will commence with close reading, multiple choice, and rhetorical analysis.

2 & 4: On Monday, you will need to stop by and show me your paragraph for instant feedback. When I see you again -- many days will have passed -- we will go over the remaining portions of the AP exam and your overall score.
