Assignment 26 - Beppy Badgett - Class Review

English has never been one of my favorite classes, I would not consider myself a very good writer, and I have always done better in classes more like math or science. However this has been one of the best english classes I've had, I liked how the class developed skill we already had, and how it relied on lots of peer help. Even though I dreaded timed writings, I found them very effective. Getting to see 20 ways to respond to one question was very informational, and it helped me learn what worked and what could be cut out. This was also the format of the shortened AP test, so I felt like these assignments really left me prepared for the test. On the other hand I found the multiple choice almost overwhelming, I was never able to finish, and rarely did well. I think if we spent more time in class going over questions or working on how to effectively read the passages. This didn't end up being a real problem though because we weren't tested over it. I really enjoyed visual literacy projects and found them very effective at providing variety in the curriculum. They were never a massive amount of work, but they helped connect what we learned in class to other subjects. Smaller assignments like socratic seminars and book work helped build the skills needed for the test in different formats.
