Exams - Nearly Complete!

We're all set, y'all. Thanks for a pretty solid year. If you have any questions about your standing at the end of the year, feel free to drop by and visit. SIS is locked for the final grade reporting, but I'm happy to let you know where you fall. Visit in the fall, I should be in the same classroom!

Happy LDOC Grey Day! I hope that you have found moments to enjoy in our year together. I know that I have. I'm looking forward to seeing your final tasks for the year come through in your portfolio reflections on the year. If you've already submitted the tasks, check any feedback and resubmit. Portfolios will continue to be accepted through until the final exam date next week.

Any last tasks for our Persepolis unit are due today. No extensions can be granted on this. I gave out a study guide for your final exam next week. Be sure that if you were not in class that you see the list posted in the folder. You'll want to know this information for next week's test!

8 June - Blue Day LDOC!

AP Language

Happy LDOC Everyone! Work to complete and submit your final examination items. We'll see each other on Monday for our final final. Some of you will present your stories, others will present them just to me, and we'll enjoy our final moments together for the year. Remember that I have to finalize your grades within 24 hours of the examination, so everything is due at the end of the examination block.

Thank you all for a great year! Enjoy the weekend. I look forward to hearing your stories of America!

2 June - Off to the Final

Great times in AP Lang for our end of the year character party. It's always fun to have a good time. A special congratulations to our two winners of the costume competition - The Yellow Car and Jordan Baker from The Great Gatsby.

After the party, we took some time to submit key tasks for the final examination. Remember that I am now working for College Board as a Table Leader, so my time is very limited. Though I'll be in the classroom with you next week, I will be working and grading AP Examinations. Be sure that you are completing your tasks, submitting or resubmitting as needed, and moving forward. Your final task, the story, is due on the final examination day - June 12/13. Remember you have to have a recording or written version of the story submitted.

Reach out if you need anything. Let's finish the year well.

Pretty simple day today to end our unit on Persepolis. We took our time to finish writing our stories and to complete any final tasks left from our study of Persepolis. Keep in mind that no work for this unit will be scored if it's turned in after Friday.

If everything is complete, then it's time to move on to the portfolios. The Global Portfolio is pretty simple. I'd do that first. The Skills Portfolio is a bit of a beast. Review the instructions and start to look for artifacts. I'll be in the room with you more next week to help you put that together.

Have a great weekend! I'm looking forward to finishing my training and getting into my new job. I'm also looking forward to reading your comics when I get my breaks.
