S.W.A.G -->Social With Academic Genesis

Hello and welcome to my blog! This blog includes a variety of resources and information to help prepare for the AP Literature exam. There are also other useful information that can help you and your understanding of pieces of literature such as Hamlet and Plato's "Allegory of the cave". Those are only two textual examples, there are many more included in this blog. A big portion of the information is subject to the collaborative learning of my AP Literature class. This is a total of at least 150 brains working together to supply the best information for our blog readers. And that is where S.W.A.G. comes into play. Our collaboration first started in our classroom but is now branching out to the community. We are looking for followers who will be able to add or contribute in any given way. So, feel free to roam and look at any of the given information, and if there is anything you would like to add please do so! I would love to hear some of your suggestions and/or learn from you and some of the information you may know that I may have overlooked or not been aware of. Please comment and lets get our S.W.A.G on!

Reflection on Today's Essay Exam

Due to the limited amount of time given to write the essays today, I felt like that was one of the hardest part about the whole exam.  I did feel like I was prepared to write about Dickens Great Expectations which made it really easy for me.  Since I reviewed all of my notes the night before it was easy for me to think of the characters and their qualities when the essay prompts were given.  Getting started is always the toughest part for me.  To help with this, I created a pre-write which really helped me.  
       I learned that the AP questions are able to have a broad spectrum of answers which makes it easy once you really break the questions down.  I actually was very calm under the pressure, which isn't normal for me.  I am not usually a good test taker, but maybe because writing is one of my strong points, I was very calm.  My pre-writes really helped me too.  In order to prepare for the AP exam I need to make sure that I do a review of the novels I have previously read to refresh my memory which will allow me to be more exact with my essays.  All in all I feel like I did a good job on my essays.
