Myriel’s AP Blog

Today I took the AP Statistics Exam, I studied hard for this. I was kind of nervous about it at first, but I was okay. The exam was a little too easy, I hope that's a good thing. I can;t wait for my results and see that I passed beautiful-y.

Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature class we took the multiple choice part of the mock exam. I spent entirely too long on the first passage. I definitely over analyzed it because I spent half of the time on it and the questions. After that I flew through 2 passages. I thought I did good with answering the questions, but when I checked the 24 or 25 questions I answered I only got 13 right. I think that is good though, I'm not sure.

Today in Mr.Rease's Mr.Rease's American Literature class we didn't do anything. Mr.Rease went over a few people's essays that we did yesterday. I had a pretty good day because I found out that since I am a Junior Marshall my last day of school is May, 11th. We will participate in the graduation since we are the top 5% of the Junior class. I forgot to mention that Coach Adams asked me to be one of the football managers which means free games all season, so I earned 2 great seats in the house.

Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature class we did the essay that we were suppose to do Friday. We didn't Friday because he found out that we had just did a mock exam for AP Statistics the class before. I was ready to do the essay. I did a good amount of reading and annotating in a great amount of time. I chose my position and made my claims and got right to it. The synthesis essay was on handwriting lessons during instruction. I said that it isn't needed anymore in today's climate because that's what most of the sources were. I feel handwriting is very important but doesn't need to be taken up during class time. I definitely need to work on that in my free time.

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we worked more on the sources. I presented my source today with Moses and Alyssa. After we finished going over the sources we read the prompt. The prompt asked us to choose a position on social networking. First we chose a position then began to write our paragraph. I said that it is acceptable because that is what most of the sources gave me information about. I can’t wait for the last day of school.

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature Class we went over sources. Everyone got different sources and was grouped with a partner to present. The topic is about colleges and employers checking social media as the process. I had source G and it was pretty simple. My source was for employers checking social media and it benefits the process. I think that I have gotten better with using my sources and stating evidence over the last year.
