I just finished the grading of the MC test for your AP Lit exam, and the results are quite stellar: 27 had 50% or higher (goal 1), 20 had 60 or higher (goal 2), 14 had 70% or higher (goal 3), and 5 of you already have a 2 on the AP test prior to the evaluation of the written portion (goal 4).
And, on a personal victory, I scored 52 out of 55 -- the best MC I have ever had for AP Lit - or Lang for that matter. I would be quite over the moon about that, but your teacher did do one no-no on the test: I forgot to answer one of the questions! I had it down to two even and completely ignored the one question left to answer! What might have been!
By the way, one of you did come quite close to my score with 50 out of 55. Sometimes I post initials, but this time I am going to stay mum until the big reveal.
Overall, we do have some reviewing to do of the exam - particularly close reading, comprehending difficult prose, breaking down poetry, and improving scores through test strategies.
Friday's class was all about Wordsworth and his "Expostulation," " Lucy," "To a Skylark," and "World." We analyzed in 3 groups, we read "World" and completed the first stages of a box prompt, and you received a packet of Blake poems for Monday's class.
On Monday, we will have time to wrap up "World," learn about Blake, look at some of his art work, and start his poetry. The poets left are Byron, Shelley, and Keats -- then, we will be doing a large tone review with all their work that involves charts and tone paragraphs. Plus, there is the test to return and analyze, which will probably begin on Tuesday. So much to do before our test in four weeks. Four weeks! Don't fret -- I have plenty for us to do in class and after school sessions (which will begin after SQ districts). There are MC selections, prose passages, poetry passages, free response boxes to fill out (remember that list I gave you long ago?), cards, buzzers (Anna), and so much more.
