I still haven’t thanked you enough for going first on our presentation day. I was quite panicked and nervous and basically just a bundle of nerves, so hearing your presentation first really helped me settle down. Anyway, I must say, you did an awesome job with your presentation (Ms. Wilson was not exaggerating)! You had an easy to follow, organized structure that linked all your related materials and brought the entire presentation together. Of course, we both fell into the “reading from paper” pithole, so you—and I—can definitely improve in that area. I liked how you incorporated a lot of historical elements of Afghanistan in your argument, much like I did with the Regency era. It really helped supply your presentation with richer details and a more complex argument.
After doing your multiple choice questions and reading the explanations for each, I think you captured much of the analysis that came with the poem. You did a good job in using all five types of multiple choice questions that can show up on the AP exam. However, I do think you could have asked a bit more about interpretation in your questions, rather than asking for something directly stated in the poem. A question about the author’s purpose or an underlying meaning behind one of the lines would have sufficed. But then again, that might just be me thinking they’re too easy and straight forward…on the other hand, that could be a good thing. Good job!
