Blog 26- Tori

Okay. I think just about everything was helpful to me. After the fact, I realized I would've liked to have started doing the group discussions and analysing passages, because that helped me understand the rhetoric piece we had to write. So maybe start those right at the beginning?

I like the timed writing, and especially the grading. It put everything in perspective.

Another thing I would've liked, is to not have the timed writings blocked off. Like where we did just rhetoric, and then just analysis, and then just synthesis. Maybe putting them on a rotation would help? Like, here let's learn about rhetoric, and write one, grade it, talk about what would be better to do. Here's analysis, write one etc.

This also may be a just me thing, but I like lists. Before the test I made lists of specific things I need to make sure I have on each of my pieces, and maybe say specific things, when you're teaching them, that people need to have?

These are just nitpicky things. This year was great and I felt extremely prepared for the test. It was all helpful, and I don't think any of it felt unnecessary.

Thanks for being a cool dude, and a great teacher. Hope I passed the test lol
