The first week of tri 2 was pretty simple, which was a nice way to come back after the intensity of the tragedy blogs and the reflection paper. We started by learning about our upcoming SSR project. When the project was first presented, I really didn’t want to do it, simply because I was overwhelmed by the idea of it. I do this frequently; I am told to do an assignment that is unfamiliar, and I shut down, assuming that I can’t do it. So far, everything that has been thrown at me has been accomplished, so I need to get over being scared of unfamiliarity. After the initial panic, I began to think about the multiple things I could do with the Pecha Kucha presentation, and began to get very excited. I picked two novels related to race and identity, and I think that I will be able to do something great with this project, even if it will be challenging. The second part of this week centered around the practice AP test. After getting my score back, I felt pretty okay with where I am. I answered 32 out of 55 correctly, which obviously isn’t great, but it was much better than I thought I was going to do. When analyzing our results, it was amazing to see how my correct answers correlated with how I understood the piece given to us. If I really connected with one of the selections, I generally did pretty well on the questions. There was a portion of the test where I got six wrong in a row, which was because I really didn’t understand what that story was saying. I know that we have no control over what the AP test stories will be, so I will need to work on being able to analyze the pieces that aren’t as interesting to me in the future. Here is a link to some tips on taking the AP test. https://www.albert.io/blog/ap-english-literature-tips/
