The Advanced Placement English Literature test is officially over for 2008 and several of my 148 students stopped by to tell me:
- "the second essay was impossible"
- "the second essay was easy"
- "the poetry essay asked students to compare poems, which made it hard since we hadn't done that in class"
- "the comparing of poems was much easier since we worked on that in class"
- "the poetry question was easier because we had spent an hour on the author of one of the poems"
- "I know we spent time on that poet, but I couldn't remember any of it"
- "the multiple choice was really bad"
- "I felt really good about the multiple choice"
There will be no way to know who's right until the scores come back in July, and every AP English teacher will be on pins and needles (that's a metaphor! and hyperbole!) until then.
