Enjoy your break!

Several of you have checked in about the paper Mr. Schafer assigned. Unless it's a subject you need to write about right now, you can let that paper sit until we return to school. You'll have between five days and a week to turn your outline into a final draft.

If you're really looking for something AP Langish to do, I'll keep posting multiple choice practice sections on Monday. You'll definitely be able to see your score, and I think you should be able to see why the correct answers are correct. I've also posted a bunch of vocabulary words for you to play around with on Quizlet. The multiple choice section of the Lang exam is really nothing but a giant vocabulary quiz, so the more words you know the better you're likely to do. Both of those activities - the MC Monday and the vocabulary practice - are just things to do when you realize you're bored out of your mind. Rather than scrolling mindlessly through Instagram, you can scroll mindlessly through vocab instead!

Most importantly, you've been given a remarkable gift: roughly three weeks when you aren't trapped in uncomfortable gray chairs for seven hours a day. You are a group of really smart people who like learning things, and you suddenly have time to go out and study subjects you're interested in. 

Go forth! Make art! Make music! Read a book for pleasure! Write a poem! Use this time to follow your own curiosity instead of the curiosity of a bunch of teachers.

Have fun. Send me an email if you need me for anything. See you in April (I hope)!
