Help! I need somebody. - Jasa Harris

Now that schools almost over I like to think about what we have done or I wish we would have done in each class, and I wish we did more in English. I didn’t really understand Socratic seminars and I didn’t know if they were supposed to be some type of test prep for the AP exam. Also, I felt congress was ineffective, especially towards the end of the year when we just annotated online. I feel like a lot of people didn’t even go and read their feedback, which was the point of doing it so you could get better. And during class congress a lot of people would comment about small, petty things just to get points, so they weren’t helpful. But I was the most upset over the fact that we never really got into the multiple choice after taking a practice AP exam. I struggle with multiple choice and just giving the correct answer and acknowledging that a question had an “obvious red herring”, but not addressing the question was completely ineffective. We never really just sat down and went over the multiple choice, and maybe some strategies that could have been used. I thought the ACT prep was more effective and I got more out of it because we actually went over the questions and you explained why something was right and why something else was wrong.
