AP classes are starting to prepare students for the AP exams that will be
held next month. In AP literature the students are focusing on the essay portion
of the test. They have the class period to write an essay and then they peer
edit each other’s to find things they need to improve on before the test.
“I think the work we are doing is helping me prepare for the exam. It’s
helping us see what kind of problems we’ll have to be answering on the exam,
and it’s giving us practice at answering them,” said junior Savannah Kellis.
In AP literature this week the
teacher, Chris Snethen, is going to consult with each student about an essay
they wrote in preparation during one of the class periods. The teacher will
discuss what their strengths and weaknesses are of the paper so the student can
get a grasp at what the grading will be like for the exam.
“The teacher has been helpful through the preparation. Snethen has
explained what the graders will be looking for and he’s going to talk to us
personally about our practice essays to help us individually,” said Kellis.
Most of the students have mixed feelings about if they are prepared for
the exams or not.
“To feeling prepared I would say yes and no. I feel like I have the essay
part down but that’s it. We haven’t practiced anything else yet,” said Kellis.
