Senior AP English overview

Hmmm how to summarize senior year English in one blog post, well it was memorable for sure. I can't say that I have ever been more frustrated with a class then this one. All I can hope for is that all the work I've done has prepared me for the test next week. In all honesty, I don't feel prepared for the AP exam and I'm kinda upset with the fact that four major assignment were given to the class the week and a half before the test. The poetry test, independent reading book number three, the poetry project, and the poetry essay all before the exam! I have not had the time nor energy to study the past lessons because of the work load of these past few weeks. Overall the class was made even more difficult because it is senior year. I know you've heard this a million times and its the same statement year after year, but it doesn't change the fact that senior year is known to be a year to breeze through. I'm thankful that this class prevented me from breezing through, but because of that this year has been even more stressful than the past. Maybe I'm just being dramatic, but this class was much more work than I thought it would be. Maybe at the beginning of next year you should warn your students as to what they are getting themselves into. You're a great teacher, it is the class that I do not like, not you. Thanks for dealing with the moans and laziness that seniors bring along!
