Even if you’re not totally sure how to answer a question, write what you know. Nothing earns less credit than a blank page. #APExamTips

Today is the day! AP Lit students: regardless of your exam results, I couldn’t be more proud of you! Scores aside, you have become more informed practitioners of your own education, stronger readers and writers, and better analyzers of your world. No go show your skills!

Congrats to our RCSHS students who competed at DYW last night! We have 4 RCSHS young ladies who will represent their home counties at the State DYW competition in January! Congrats to: Rowan-Ansley Perryman Elliot-Audriana Leon Bath-Christina Grimes Fleming-Summer Stevens

If any of my former students are in need of a quick ACT English review before Saturday’s exam, you may meet me at the Fuzzy Duck at 1:00 on Friday! Bring paper, pencils, and your thinking caps! 📚✨

This week I’m grateful to represent RCSHS at EKU’s AP Summer Institute for English Literature! There are so many wonderful ideas that I can’t wait to bring back to our Vikings! 💚📚✨

AP English Literature students demonstrated significantly stronger skills of literary analysis this year than in 2018, increasing the % of students scoring 3+ by several points. Kudos to AP teachers for reversing a multi-year decline in literary analysis. Keep up the good work.

For the first time I can remember, AP English Lit students scored about as well on the poetry analysis essay (Q1: Page’s “The Landlady”) as they did on the prose analysis (Q2: Howells - excerpt from The Rise of Silas Lapham). Nice job! apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap19-frq-e…

Tomorrow is the first day of my fourth year. With every passing year I grow in awe of this life. Here’s to hoping that my students grow in knowledge, in wisdom, in self-confidence, and… instagram.com/p/B04mYO0gZvZx…

To my Macbeth readers, if you’re worried about the Coronavirus -

The AP Program is developing resources to help schools support student learning during closures, as well as a solution that would allow students to take AP Exams at home, depending on the situation in May. We'll communicate the details by March 20. More: spr.ly/60121srOe.

Alright, students...here’s your obligatory literally reference for the day 💙 (Remember when life was simple and the hardest part of your day was finding your seat in “Salem Village”?) I miss you, hoodlums!

To my APLit students on test day: You have already proven yourselves beyond measure. You’ve risen in the face of adversity, and I could not be more proud. Now, go show them what articulate and informed analyzers you are (even while at home in your pajamas). You’ve got this! 💚
