yay for the end of the marking period. and for four day weekends. and for country music.

dear ap art history champs,

i hope you get a chance to check teacherease.

after a discussion with the ap english teachers, i have altered the point scale for the essays. thank you to sara for that! as i said in the beginning of the year, i wasnt quite sure how to translate the ap rubric into a point scale that would work for us. i think that many of you will be happy with the adjustment. i also made sure to drop one low quiz grade for everyone. many of you were interested and wanted to stay after but we couldnt make it work with sport and work schedules. i thought that this would be fair for everyone.

for next marking period, there are going to be less reading quizzes, and we will not be dropping the lowest. but extra credit will still be offered for each after school session you attend.

also, the format of class will be changing over the next few weeks, and you will all become more active participants in your learning, and discussions will be led by you instead.

the exams are not completely graded yet, as i have a stack of about one billion photographs to grade. but those grades will be posted as soon as possible.

let me know if you have any questions.

have a lovely weekend!!!
