Reflection #105

 Summary: Today we had to do another thing about college. This time it was about schools we might want to go to, as opposed to jobs we might want to work.

Reflection: Even though they’re all pretty out there for me, I chose Georgia Tech, Emory, and University of Georgia for my examples. The only real reason is that I’ve toured them, but other than that it’s just the first 3 I saw on the list.

Evaluation: I can’t say I haven’t done this exact same series of assignments for at least 3 other teachers, but O don’t really see anything else we could be doing to occupy our time after the EOC (except maybe, like, studying for the real final exams)

Reveal: Next week is going to SUCK

Reflection #27

 Summary: Today we finished doing the benchmark test from yesterday. As you intended, we only left one question for today, being the extended essay question. Or, at least I was supposed to. I had to do both 19 and 20, so I only had around 25 minutes to write a full essay. Reflection: Given that I only had 25 minutes, I was glad to see that the topic was something I knew off the top of my head: US Foreign Policy. Side note: taking AP Gov and APUSH have helped me a lot more in other classes than I would have thought. Evaluation: I am abysmal at English MCQs. However, I believe that I am actually pretty good at writing, which is why this test frustrated me. Why should I be given a 40/100 for only knowing how to express the content I’ve learned in a way other than that which the admins think I should be able to? In my opinion, that approach squanders individuality of the student.  It is what it is.

Reflection #29

 Summary: Today what I was supposed to do was finish the Benchmark test from Monday. What actually happened was, I finished the test on Tuesday, and I didn't have anything to do for the whole class. It might have benefited me to know this information on Tuesday, however "it is what it is". Reflection: I wish I had known or been told that we would've spent today finishing the test. In that case, I would've taken more time on the MCQ section, and probably gotten a better score than... what I got.  Evaluation: I am glad the test is over. Ever since 6th grade, when they started making me do the benchmark tests, they've always felt like a chore. I did learn from this one, however, that I can write a full essay in 30 minutes. Weirdly enough, I actually did that again today in AP US History. We had to write an LEQ on the American Revolution in ~35 minutes, and I literally put my pen down as the bell rang, having written 2 and a half pages by hand (If I am forced to d...

Reflection #100

 ONE HUNTRESD Summary: Today we were actually able to get work done, as opposed to last week, when all I had in the class was 55 minutes. But this time, we worked on preparing for this week’s EOC exams, and I myself worked on the 2 assignments I missed over my 4-day vacation with the orchestra class. Reflection: I may fail this test, I may not; I honestly couldn’t tell you where I think this’ll go. BUT! I did the math yesterday, and I can get as low as a 60 on the EOC and keep my A. Evaluation: Newsela bad commonlit bad, teaching good study guide good  Reveal: THERE IS SOMETHING IN MY NOSE IT HAS BEEN HERE FOR THREE DAYS I CANNOT GET IT OUT!
