5 weeks ago, I started high school. It’s been a completely new experience, but I’ve really enjoyed it. I’ve already learned a lot, both about the jump from middle to high school, but also about actual class material.
In Biology, I’ve already learned a lot about viruses, biomolecules, DNA and so much more, for example. We’ve been having unit tests and reading quizzes pretty regularly and we can check our progress with the class calendar. Our teacher simply provides us with
In Algebra 2, we learn a new lesson each class (2 lessons if it’s a block day). Our teacher provides us with printed-out notes and we get to follow along- highlighting, filling in the blanks, and solving the given problems- as our teacher works through the lesson. We have tests and quizzes pretty regularly on a platform called Edia and we get our results in anywhere from 2-7 days.
Similarly, in AP Human Geography, we’re currently on our unit about migrations. We have a multiple choice test (MCT) as well as a free-response test (FRQ) every unit as our end-of-unit tests. We also have vocab and reading quizzes every Friday over the section of textbook that was given to read. Additionally, we have to find the vocab words in the textbook and create flashcards over them, which are checked along with the quizzes.
These are just a sample of my three, most work-heavy classes. Other classes, depending on the teacher, are lighter or provide less work. And even though I call them the work-heavy classes, that doesn’t mean that I’m having a tough time in those classes. I enjoy all of what I’m learning and I can’t wait to add on to what I’ve learnt!
Good good.
Happy learning!
