OK, the first test is now history! Tomorrow you will have an assembly that will take most of the period. When you make it to class, I will introduce the first project to you, which will be due on Monday. The description of the project will be posted in tomorrow's blog post, and documents will be shared with you via your school email.
On Friday you will write an essay during class. The style will be Compare and Contrast and the topic will be drawn from Chapters 1-6.
You should look over the scoring guide that the College Board uses for this style of essay. It is linked up here.
You will need to write the essay in either blue or black ink. Lined paper will be provided for you. You may not use any notes, outlines or materials existing outside of the contents of your brain to compose the essay.
And for those of you who haven't done so, I need your blog addresses emailed to me ASAP. I am compiling them and will be sharing a link with you for the page with the addresses in the next day or so.
For homework tonight, write a reflection on the test. How was it? Were there types of questions you found hard or easy? Was it what you expected? better? worse? Now that you've seen one, what will you do to prepare for the next test?

The joy of AP: A test on day 2!
Welcome back to school!
Tomorrow (Wednesday) you will be taking a test. It will consist of 70 multiple choice questions. The questions will be drawn from Chapters 1-6 of the textbook. You will have 45 minutes to complete the test, and you will need to have a #2 pencil. I will not be providing pencils. That's up to you.
On Friday you will be writing an in-class essay in the Compare and Contrast format. It will also be drawn from chapters 1-6. The scoring guide will be linked in tomorrow night's post for your review.
Both of these serve to tell me more about you and what help you will need as we go forward in the class; they are not happening because I'm mean. Mostly...
