Edit: For some reason, the post could not be submitted so I waited to try again.
Today, the teacher provided the class with a rubric along with a couple of essays written by previous students who took the AP exam. We were given the task to identify things such as the thesis, thesis statement, and etc. within the essays. The best part about the rubric was that it was broken down as simple as possible to assist us with our identifications. There was one essay that appeared almost perfect and scored a very high score. And there were others that were not as pleasant but scored exactly what is expected of us, a 5. I was appalled because I knew for a fact that I could do better than what that student had done. I became very confident that I would exceed the number expected. The rubric aided me with an indication of how I should write my essay. Before today I thought that I would have a difficult time on the AP exam but now I know that if I keep in mind a few of the things that I have been taught this year, I will be more than fine. Overall, today was eye-opening for me.
