After evaluating the poetry tests, there were several AP Lit students who did not perform up to their usual standards. (Overall, we did have test scores spread out through A to F.) Hence, today was about reviewing the feet, the lines, the stanzas, the meters, and the types of poetry -- using general terms on the board and the test itself to practice the skills needed.
Next week on your final day, you will have a secondary activity or mini test on poetry. It will be in the same format with maybe 5 or 6 of the poetry types. You will respond to questions regarding poems -- just like the packet and the test. For this mini-test, you will be required to answer a certain number of questions correctly for a grade. If you answer more than the required number, you will receive additional credit for those extra questions.
See you tomorrow to talk about the writing side -- the box and poetry prompts.
