Dear AP Lang Teacher (Week 30),

As much as I love having a student teacher - I mean, that’s the only way I have time to write this post at 8:42 Monday morning - it makes me a little sad at times. I honestly barely saw my kids last week, and it’ll be the same this week. I believe that a student teacher needs space as their time comes to a close to get as accurate an experience as possible, and that can’t happen with Cwik sitting in the back of the room. However, that means I am hiding in my office and not seeing what the kids are up to. The only interaction I had with them was to look at rhetorical analysis samples on Monday and meet with a small group before their FRQ on Friday. (I’m like the mean rhetorical analysis fairy that just pops in to crush spirits).

I mention it because usually I like to tell you how things went with the plans last week. But… I honestly don’t know. I think it went well. (Shrug).

Week 30

This week, we are finishing up The Crucible. As I mentioned last week, the kids have really enjoyed reading it and realizing how hysterical the time period was, so they might be sad to see it go. But we need to move on to our pre-test unit. (More to be shared next week!).

So this week, we’ll finish listening to the play, create anti-witch propaganda for Salem, do our final lit circle, and end with a modified version of the Certainty and Doubt argument FRQ.
