Post Macbeth

Today was and an overview of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. I was really engaged in the lecture and class discussion. We had to answer some critical thing questions, as well as rate some life statements. It was interesting to here my peers beliefs and outlooks on things, it also gave me ideas where I can better myself as an individual. Overall, I enjoyed today's lesson and am looking forward to reading and analyzing Macbeth.

Tired of Seeing C's

Today in class, we finished reading The Wife Bath's Tale. I found it intriguing because I knew in the end what would happen, but I found that there was a deeper meaning to what actually happened. I figured that the old woman would become beautiful in some way, but not through domimance. I admired this short story because of how well written it was and how shined a light on women having power of men. How it is not that bad. Afterwards, we took a short quiz on the story. I was very upset with the grade on it, I feel that I work hard to achieve what I want. For some reason, my multiple choice grades are not improving. I believe it I'd because when it comes to test, I have really bad anxiety. I second guess myself a lot. I am going to put more effort into my testing skills and hopefully improve. My goal is to make an A in the class for the whole semester.

From Effort to Improvement

Today in class we took a prose multiple choice quiz taken from a previous AP Literature test. When I first began to read, I figured it be a easy read. The only thing was that the vocabulary made the read difficult. After the quiz was over, I felt pretty confident. Honestly, I wasn't upset because I felt more comfortable while taking the test. I put effort towards improving on multiple choice questions by watching strategy videos as well as being more confident when taking the test. I'm so happy that I'm seeing an improvement.

Quarantine Blues: Chilling with AP

While everything being canceled that the Class of 2020 was looking forward to, there is to work that needs to be done. I am honestly not upset about the fact that things are getting postponed/canceled because I am at peace, in a way. To prepare myself for the AP Exam, the one thing that is not getting canceled, I decided to take the first quiz on AP Classroom with no preparations. It may sound stupid, but it gives me a better chance to really scope out my weaknesses. One of them being second guessing myself. This is nothing new to me because test anxiety is real. The three biggest ones were: vocabulary, taking a complex question and breaking it down, and paying attention to word choices when choosing an answer. All of these have some type of strategy I can use, that have been mentioned by my teacher at least once. Hopefully, this workbook that I have recieved will be beneficial.
