Course Material 3/10
This class seems to be getting more and more intense as the AP test aproaches. Maybe it's just senioritis, but I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed; however, the activities we do in class are really going to help for that test. The annotations, though tedious, are going to give me a boost when I have to analyze any sort of literature in the future. I decided that I would try annotating "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" on my Mom's Kindle, and it was not as easy as you might think. I can be a little bit technologically challenged a lot of the time, but I kind of liked using the kindle. However, in the future, I found that its much easier to refer back to your annotations when they are in a book right in front of you, instead of on one page on a screen. Anyway, as usual DIDLS really helps get me through annotating. They are like the fundamentals of analyzing literature, and they definitely keep me on track. Also, the in class essays are definitely difficult, and I have trouble interpretting the prompts, but it is great practice for the AP test, of course! Everything seems to be connecting to that test! Even though I am feeling overwhelmed, I know that every assignment, essay, or post we do in class is relevent and has a purpose.

Yeah, I'm totally feeling the senioritis. Big time. So you're not alone in falling behind and being overwhelmed! I'm really glad I had the book in front of me and didn't have to use a kindle! That sounds really difficult. I find that in a lot of other classes too and even when I'm reading for pleasure, making little notes throughout books and papers and highlighting things is all I want to do to help myself understand.... I'm annotating everywhere, basically (never thought I'd say that)
ReplyDeleteI thought about using a kindle for annotations, but it seemed faster to just write them in a book. Then it is easier to look back at them too. I hope we get more AP practice in the coming month because I feel like I'm not prepared at all for this test. Maybe since we are not annotating Fifth Buisness, we will have more class time for essay and multiple choice help.
ReplyDeleteI don't see a prompt revision here so I am assuming you didn't revise. If you did please make a new post.
Yikes... Kindle. I feel bad for you on that one, though I'm sure it had its perks. I like how you called DIDLS the fundamentals of analyzing literature - you're pretty accurate on that one. The AP test prompts are hard for me, too, but I hope we get more! Like you said, it's all tying into the AP test.
