I often wonder about the usefulness of assigning lists of vocabulary
words. Do you use the words you learn? If you don't, how will you
develop a sense of when it's better to call something sentient (which suggests a quality of awareness, consciousness, and even sensitivity) than simply alive? Or when reply would be a better choice than answer?
During
tomorrow's final, in addition to writing or identifying the proper
definitions of the lit and tech terms, you will be asked to use
vocabulary words in sentences that make grammatical and logical sense.
Good
news! You can practice here. Gain credit for the final by writing
sentences that use vocabulary words. You will receive the equivalent of
one point on the exam for each word you use correctly (yes, that means
if you use three words in the same sentence, you will earn three
points-- but be mindful, because if you use the words gratuitously and they're incorrect, you will lose credit).
More
good news! We all need a network of support and critique, so please
read the sentences that your colleagues write -- if you make a
suggestion or correction that helps them improve, you will receive
credit for that too.

LAST POST FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR/ june 3 w online meeting #50
What a year. As often as I say it, I still feel like I don't say it often enough: Thank you. Thank you for your effort, your insig...
So far during this course of AP Language and Composition we've learned how personification are used throughout writing and poems.
ReplyDeleteInstead of using "of AP language..." you could've said "in AP language..." and instead of saying "are used" you could've said "is used..."
DeleteSomeday I hope to learn how to HACK into the schools NETWORK system and gain access to my files from last year to change my AP history class from a B to an A.
ReplyDeleteAn example of AMBIGUITY is when a person who answers a question in a way that INCLINES his own being to not give as much details.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to the English Language, we all know that THEME, CHARACTERIZATION, SYMBOLISM, and TONE are the few elements to make up a story. As for poems it would be using figurative language. For instance, ALLUSION, ALLITERATION, PERSONIFICATION, and DICTION.
ReplyDeleteIt has been super easy to HACK my sister's iphone because the newer versions use face recognition and we're twins! In today's society, the INTERNET helps us stay connected and very well informed online. Something that seems ridiculous to me is how alot of people are physically and emotionally attached to their phone, they will literally freak out if it's taken away, and their excuse is FOMO. On my school tablet,I have the URL for YouTube saved because on my free time I enjoy watching "Buzzfeed Unsolved", the main protagonists are Ryan and Shane. Ryan and Shane's main goal is to confirm if the MYTHS or mysteries are in fact true, something I love about each episode is how they end each video saying "...will remain unsolved".
ReplyDeleteLol, my DICTION here seem to involve alot of refrences towards technology.
DeleteI love reading MYTHS on Sunday nights with my sisters which in fact, inspires me to create my own stories. However, using ANTHROPOMORPHISM reminds me of Beauty and the Beast. I try to be creative by using vague ALLUSIONS so the readers' may take longer to predict the next plot. They might figure the THEME as they read the story. In addition to writing stories I love saying sentences with ALLITERATIONS because they could be bad a** tongue twisters. I try to HACK my vocabulary in my writing by using the INTERNET in search for synonyms. I always aim for an open minded TONE and to be not bias. Reading and Writing could be a nightmare for others as they have FOMO. They feel like it is taking time away from them to socialize.
