Challenging Yet Manageable

Tomorrow by 2:40 p.m. you will need to turn in your Lucy logs to me for evaluation. I'm sure many of you will be busy with these tonight after the 5 1/2 weeks that you have had to complete the assignment.

As noted in class today regrading MC passages, the AP Lang passages and questions are challenging yet manageable. Since none of you have run crying and screaming after reading one, I can attest that the aforementioned adjectives are appropriate. F.Y.I. Third hour is still the only class with 100% on passage 1.

1: We completed the vocab quiz for unit 15 and then spent time discussing the AP MC test and all the strategies that are part of taking this exam component. Tomorrow will be our class completion of passage 1.

3: We spent the hour on MC Passage 1 with a focus on close reading first, followed by identification of question types, process of elimination, and class voting to determine the correct answer. We will work on MC Passage 2 tomorrow, but this will feature the questions first before the reading.

4: We reviewed the answers for MC Passage 1 and completed MC Passage 2 during class. We will finish the explanation portion of MC Passage 2 tomorrow and then - probably - move into a review of the basics of argumentation.

7: I am writing this during sixth hour, so hopefully all of this will be true: we began the hour looking at the AP Lang MC test and the strategies that you can use to complete this portion. Then, we working on MC Passage 1 with a close reading of the passage and the categorization of the types of questions. Ideally, we finished the passage and questions. However, if we were left with some questions, you will need to finish those for homework.
