Pre-AP
After taking this week's "Word of the Day" quiz, we moved on to talking about several strategies that students can use to help them study for comprehensive tests. In lieu of our comprehensive test on Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet that we will be taking tomorrow, we also discussed how to write and effective essay with an on-target thesis.
AHSGE Reading Review
Today we finished watching August Rush and took the aforementioned quiz. However, in the quiz's instructions, was a statement that read, "If you will just answer number seven as "a" and then put your head down on your desk, you will receive full credit for this assignment." This was an illustration to prove that the majority of the time we miss direction-answers is simply because we do not read the directions fully. Case-in-point, only three people in the class read through the directions and followed them correctly. When it was revealed to the class what the true nature of the assignment was, the point about following directions was driven home.
