| That's right... I went there. |
Oh man. That's awesome. Puns. THE BEST!
I'm sorry about not posting anything yesterday. I figured there wasn't much to say about a major grade quiz that took the whole period. By the way, we hope you felt nice and prepared for the quiz. We'll be putting those grades in soon.
SAQ, LEQ... SOS!
Today in class we went over another type of AP writing; the SAQ. Personally, I don't even really consider it writing. It's more of a multiple choice question without the choices. It reminds me of the math questions on the STAAR where you write in the answer and then bubble below.
Anyway, we hope you found today at least informative. We'll be practicing SAQs throughout the year on a variety of topics. Garafola has been puttin' in work! Hopefully, after a while, it won't even feel like "AP writing", but just something we do in here. Be sure to see your teacher if you have any questions.
Looking ahead -
Remember that on Monday, we are writing a LEQ. Be sure to bring your rubric packet to remind you of what we're looking for. Just make sure that there isn't any content related material on your packet. We'll write your essay on Monday, do some peer editing on Tuesday, and then we'll launch into epics! Gilgamesh, Achilles, Krishna! Yee haw!!
ALL THE WEEKENDS!!!
Soundtrack of the Week:
I know that Friday calls for more up tempo jams, but after the partying is over, you need to take it down a notch and relax. So, in that spirit we'll wrap up our chill vibes relaxation week.
Where do I even begin with The Flaming Lips? I don't even know...
If you don't know about this band, you need to acquaint yourself IMMEDIATELY. These guys are a thousand miles of weird in the most awesome way possible. Their live shows are legendary (look some up on YouTube). Their music is impossible to categorize. In short, they are amazing. Here is one of their best, a nice slow jam... "Do You Realize?" (this video is crazy)
