Help! I need somebody. Help!- Morgan Lakofka

A few things I found effective this year were the amount of essays we wrote, reading about writing composition, practice tests, and socratic seminars. Reading the book at the beginning of the year helped better prepare me to write the essays we practiced for the ap test. It taught me how to write a successful opening and closing and helped me break the traditional 5 paragraph essay style. The practice tests gave me an idea of how the test would look but I think they would have been more beneficial if we took them more often and spent more time going over commonly missed answers. I think the amount of time spent on essays was effective and grading was very clear for what to expect on the exam. After taking the test, it would’ve been helpful to review essay styles that we went over at the beginning of the year. I also found the socratic seminars effective but it would’ve been more effective to do them earlier in the year instead of right before the exam.
