We began the new trimester by setting up our new individual reading projects and looking at a sample AP test. Our new assignment for our individual reading will revolve around two books that relate and answer a question or query. This week we came up with our query and submitted a book proposal. I think this will be a cool assignment because everyone has a different topic of interest and it will be interesting to see how everyone's presentations turn out in the end. I picked The Great Gatsby and Wuthering Heights for my two books. Both were on the AP test many times, so I thought these would be good books to read. I also found them intriguing, so I chose a question that would go along with both of them. Although I don’t like presenting at all, the Pecha Kucha style of presentations sounded new and different to me, so I am not so apprehensive. Plus, we can have notes to read off of during our speech and that makes me feel better. The sample multiple choice AP test we took this week made me aware of how much work I need to put into my reading comprehension skills. Out of 55 questions I only got 30 right! I’m glad we did this assignment because now I know what kind of questions to expect if I take the test in the Spring. I realized that when I am taking these types of tests that I should just go with my gut and not think so hard about the questions. Multiple times during the test I changed my answer, when it turned out I actually had it right in the first place. So, I should stop second guessing and putting so much pressure on myself. ap lit multiple choice test guide
