English Essays

  1. For both of the essays (though we only needed to critique the AP exam prompts :) i noticed your excellent use of quotations and other concrete detail examples to support your claims. The vernacular is quick/easy to delivery which I'm sure the exam graders will appreciate as i have. All in All you deserve that circled 8 (how'd you get it graded? lol) Also nice touch with the introductory quotation on the Eliot essay.

  2. Thanks Hayden, I heard from... a person that we were supposed to grade them on a 1-9 scale. Anyway, thanks for grading.

  3. I agree with all that Hayden said. The use the quotations was great and the examples were helpful to understanding more of what you were saying. Very lovely job Sarah

  4. Both grades are accurate and darling your writing is very smooth! I don't know how you got so many great ideas wrapped up into two essays in an hour! I really thought that the introductions were really thought out and laid a great foundation for the rest of the analysis in each essay. My favorite was the Leisure essay, because of the new perspectives that I had not though of in my own responses! Thanks Sarah!

  5. I would give 8's to both essays. Great use of examples from both pieces and you used great vocabulary when conveying your thoughts.
    Definitely would like to discuss Ender's Game with you on Monday!
