Today we discussed the use of archaic language used in text in regards to the AP Exam. We also read and analyzed two examples of essay responses to the Hazlitt passage we wrote about Tuesday. The key problems presented by the piece were over the meaning of the word want, which [...]

Hey Bloggers!
Today was a fantastic day in Eldridge’s class. We discussed Alex’s return to class due to his prolonged illness of swine flu (just kidding he didn’t have the flu). Shaina wanted no part of that and moved to a different table. After that, everyone got busy on their fun-filled essays [...]

The first few minutes of today were spent trying to figure out the extra credit riddle of the week that left everyone flabbergasted. We then began playing games with our new groups and finally decided our group names.
Afterward, we began to analyze passages, looking at syntax.

Period 5
Friday started off like any usual day. Dilled with chatter of lunch and nurrrrs from Glasser (and mocking of nurrrrs from Desouky). Jay was on time today (which is a very recent trend, let us hope it continues!) and Desouky was munching on some Panda Express that was soon told to be put away [...]

Hello
Well, today I got to class pretty early, and the passing period was fairly uneventful, except for Jordan and Brittany singing (I forget what) at some point.

There we were ordered to begin research for our research essays, as we are required to have a minimum of ten sources (no biggie or anything). Furthermore, with these sources, we will be composing an annotated bibliography. For [...]

4/21 Scribe Notes
Disclaimer: As the AP tests are coming up way too fast, I really don’t feel like organizing these notes into any certain comprehensible order, so…a simple chronological order should suffice…
O.k. First and foremost, Steven says hi, and Steven says that Tricia says hi. We began class with the usual fifteen minute interval [...]

Halfway through the period, the wonderful Tricia told me that I was scribe, and I was shocked. Tricia says hi as well.
Today we focused on AP Test preparation, reading and answering the questions to the last selection in the packet we received. Authored by Alan Bloom, the selection was about sex. The most important [...]

Well, not much to report on today. We wrote an essay in class in which we analyzed the rhetorical devices of a man named Downes. He was trying to convince his wife to emigrate from England to the U.S. It wasn’t too bad of a prompt. Ummm, Jordan had the strange desire to talk [...]
