I don’t mean to be rude, but I just didn’t write much of note. ]]> 2021-04-14 15:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417165774 https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417166319 I watched the multiple choice videos and I learned that you should look for which options have flaws but not to spend too much time on them as well.]]> 2021-04-14 15:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417166319 https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417168627 I believe I watched Unit 2 skill 4 video 3.

• Evidence must be Sufficient
• Emphasis on Quality
• Broad Claim to bring in Evidence
• Increase Quality = Compare Contrast
• Give Evidence Purpose

Unit Six: Skill 4, Video 2

• Thesis MUST be Arguable 
• Reasonable Person could Disagree
• Answers Prompt, States Claim, then Extends Claim

I specifically think it’s interesting how APUSH suggests to read the questions first where as these videos said to read the whole passage and than the questions. ]]> 2021-04-14 16:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417172316 https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417173073 Unit 7, skill 8.B videos 1 & 2.
Composition questions are the ones that are always marked saying the given text is a draft, with each sentence numbered. When reading the text, you should read it all the way through, and while you read it, try to "read it like a writer" trying to notice and point out the mistakes in the text. Some flaws include (but are not limited to):
- logical order (sentences don't flow together well)
- purpose is vague
- claim/support (claim w/o evidence or evidence w/o claim)
You should also be asking yourself what the writer intended, and if they accomplished it.

They also talk about what you should be looking for to make sure you don't choose one of those wrong answers.]]> 2021-04-14 16:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417182328 https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417182508 I’ve watched one of the unit 2 videos but don’t remember exactly what skill, but it was talking about creating a strong thesis, with evidence that ties into your claim. ]]> 2021-04-14 16:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417182508 https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417184290 I watched the videos Unit 2: skill 3, video 3; Unit 2: skill 4, video 3; Unit 6, skill 4, video.

Also breaking down the question and understanding the difference between reading and writing questions are more things I learned from the video! I also learned about using the process of elimation to better get rid of answers I know are wrong based on the context of the question or something. ]]> 2021-04-14 16:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417186429 https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417187352 I watched both multiple choice videos.

For example, “So long as men breathe, or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to the.” William Shakespeare. 
Forms of Punctuation:
The Dash: -
1.Dashes are used for an unexpected break-am interruption-to a sentence. 
2. They can also be used to set off an appendix to a sentence-like this.
The Semicolon: ;
1. When used to combine two independent clauses, semicolons achieve balance and parallelism; they may also achieve comparison and contrast
The Colon: :
1. The colon is used to a ounce that more information follows: for emphasis, for examples, for illustration.
Parentheses: ()
1. Parentheses are used to set off a thought/idea that is inserted (like this one here, which may or may not belong) into a sentence.]]> 2021-04-14 16:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417197968 https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417199721 I watched unit 2 skills 3 video 3 where I learned how to provide support for a claim and make sure there is enough quantity and quality in that support.

What I learned from these two videos is that all the multiple choice questions asks the student to read like a writer, which was a different perspective for me. I also learned that the stimulus text feature questions are DRAFTS just because it’s on the exam doesn’t mean it’s perfect, there are meant to be some flaws such as logical order, clarity and purpose.

I learned that examining the question is a key aspect of answering a question correctly; paying attention to the slight word changes helps direct a vivid understanding. 
I also learned that when reading essays it’s important to read thoroughly (but hastily) and grasp the concept as a whole, instead of merely skipping through the text. ]]> 2021-04-14 17:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417728583 https://padlet.com/dalexander_gkhs/rw0neb2c2ulh/wish/1417730302 I watched the multiple choice videos.
