End of the Year AP Exploration

The AP test is done. We have discussed rhetorical strategies until we were blue in the face. We practiced Multiple Choice questions. We wrote synthesis samples and free response samples. We laughed, expressed annoyance, complained, and even cried sometimes. We now are going to breathe, enjoy, relax and explore! Over the next few days, I will be adding several AP projects. Here is the first one: 6 Word Memoirs! Make the last 2 weeks the best they can be everyone! Learn something new every day!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auYK1OveeAE


Update  (5/28):   Loop Poetry

Summer by Caitlin

The lockers are cleaned out

Out go the students

Students leave for the summer

Summer to be spent.

Spent sleeping in

In cool houses

Houses filled

Filled with dirty laundry mountains

Mountains in the distance

Distance from home

Home in the open

Open to roam

Roam far

Far away from the city

City to beaches

Beaches so pretty

Pretty tired are all

All ready to see

See the school again

Again students to be

Misleading Eyes by Kiersten

Misleading eyes

Eyes that show things

Things that are not real

Real are the things not seen

Eyes that show sparkles

Sparkles that show happiness

Happiness and no problems

Problems that don’t exist

Eyes that hide problems

Problems that really do exist

Exist to haunt and sadden you

You when no one else is around

No one can see through the sparkles

Sparkles that hide sadness

Sadness that can deeply affect you

You and your misleading eyes




Summer
By: McKenzie, Bridget and Carly

Summer is so hot

Hot as the desert

Desert your worries and fears

Fears are no more

More time with friends

Friends are everything

Everything is beautiful

Beautiful as those sunsets

Sunsets are where everything happens

Happens to everyone

Everyone loves summer

Summer loves everyone

Everyone is happy

Happy is the greatest quality

Quality of summer is in your hands

Hands hold the key to happiness

Happiness is summer

ABC Poetry

Cats

All beautiful cats dabble elaborately finding games, hopping into jars, knotting loops, meeting new opponents periodically. Quickly rapidly stepping, they unite vigorously when x-aminig your zest!


    A boy can't defy everything for gravity holds ill-fates. Just keep love more near or  pass  quietly  remembering someone too unforgettable. Vacant winters xceed youthful zeal.

LAST WEEKS OF SCHOOL

All bitter children distance

Eventually from goals, hoping its

Journey keeps lively moving,

Neglecting one project, quietly

Resisting stress, tolerating

Underclassmen, voraciously

Wandering, x-cepting
