D124 and 125: All the AP

AP CSA

124: AP test registration.  One hour dedicated to students bubbling in things.  I should have assigned some homework for students who did this in their previous classes.

125: We started AP Test prep on RSI.  Doing the multiple choice prep seems to be good.  Students are making mistakes, they are looking back at their notes and comparing answers with friends.  It seemed like they finished 20 problems really quickly.  I think the 90 minute practice test next week will give more insight.


AP CSP

124: Hour 6 of Create Task.  I gave students a form to fill out on their progress so far.  I asked them to estimate how many more hours they would need for the programming part of the task which was helpful.

125: Hour 7 of Create Task.  Students are making progress.


Concepts

124: We did a practice worksheet and sent our emails to our mentors.

125: Took the quiz on rational functions.  I feel pretty good with how the unit went.  We did do a lot of repetitive practice - there isn't a ton of application to do here, it is mostly theoretical "what happens if..." sorts of practice.


One Good Thing
Doing the eMentors program has been really great.  Students are taking it pretty seriously and it is forcing them to write more.
