Hamlet is now finally over and we can focus on other things such as multiple choice! Although this practice is tedious I know I need to work hard on them because that is what will be on the AP exam in May. As we continue to work with vocabulary words I think they are starting to come back to me after I memorized them at the beginning of the year for the terms test. The poems are still very hard for me to comprehend on a deep level, but I suppose with more practice they will get easier.
With the new semester comes a big shift in the blogs. Instead of writing Open Prompt and Closed Reading essays we are now going back through and revising them. I think this is really cool because I can compare my more recent assignments to my assignments from the beginning of the year. This helps me go back and look at my own work and see where I can improve.
The new openers are fun, challenging, and I feel like they help a lot. We are able to review didls at the same time. It is pretty obvious knowing didls well is imperative to do well on the AP exam. Now that spring is approaching my focus is now mainly on the exam.
I am excited we are starting Rosencrantz and Guildenstern but it is kind of frustrating knowing that we haven't completely escpaped Hamlet yet.
Danny,
ReplyDeleteI agree that practice will make the multiple choice easier to answer because it helps us review vocabulary and literary elements. Also, I don't really understand poems until Ms. Holmes explains them either. I like how you mentioned how you can compare your work from earlier in the year to now. I think reviewing your own work and seeing how you can improve is very valuable. Great post! You hit on several aspects of the class and how they affected you.
