AP Score Report

By now, I am sure most of you have received your score on the AP Language and Composition Exam. The College Board will "hand-score" your bubble sheet for a fee ($25)-they will not re-score your essays. If you received a 2, it may be to your advantage if you sincerely believe you may have erased and/or made stray marks on your answer sheet. Depending on your college of interest (see posting below), some of you who scored a 3 may want to consider this option. Also, for a fee of $7, you are able to request a copy of your essay booklet. Recall that your essay score is subjective-so if you bring it to me or someone else-the score given could be higher or lower.

Ethan Frome Class Discussions

Often, teachers will serve as a "devil's advocate" for the sole purpose of "sparking" a lively discussion. Specific statements/opinions are made that do NOT reflect the teacher's sentiments. What in the world is Diedrich talking about?

During a recent class discussion, many students misconstrued Diedrich's comments regarding the "affair" between Ethan and Mattie. These students actually thought that Diedrich did not have any "problem" with someone CHEATING on his/her spouse and that Diedrich was encouraging Ethan to "cheat" on Zeena. This is far from the truth! If you recall, a "lively" debate did follow his remarks.

A lesson to be learned...
