This year's English class was very enjoyable. We were prepared for the AP test by doing those multiple choice practice tests and the times writings. The AP test was exactly like all of those. I also liked the activities we did during the time we weren't doing those exercises. The video was a fun final project even though editing took longer than I would have liked. Grading each other's times writings was a good exercise even though our class was pretty harsh towards each other. Reading what other people wrote gave me ideas and changed my writing a little bit. I expanded my word choice and further developed arguments that I made. The socratic seminars were good because they engaged the entire class but I didn't like doing the on-demand ones. We didn't get as much time to develop ideas and generate talking points like we did with the ones we took home. Sometimes it was harder to generate talking points because we would have a piece that was meant for a literary analysis essay. Also, because it was harder to generate talking points, people were more reluctant to speak and we sat in silence more often. All in all, it was a good year.
