If that was the best of Chapter 1, 2, and 3, then we must have some very poor students in AP World. Sorry to Kent and Margaret, Emily and Kayley, and to Thomas's sister, Alicia, and her partner Jason Kanawawawawa. And if you're reading this Mrs Perkovich, so be it. I know I may not bring my book to school every so often [one lousy day] but I know how to make bullet points that aren't verbatim from the book. The assignment was to outline the chapter with twenty bullet points. Each group of two gets one chapter to outline, which could be anywhere from chapter one to chapter twelve. Sounds simple enough. Just read the chapter, pick good points and try to fit as much information as possible [amiap] into each bullet point. But when people include page numbers after their bullet points and use terms like "focal point," I know something's up. Sophomores don't write at this level. Don't take offense, Esther and whoever else is a sophomore reading this, but you don't. It's not meant to be an insult, it's just how it goes. Tell me if this sounds like sophomore-level writing to you: "Egyptians believe fervently in a life beyond the grave, and they likened the human experience of life and death to the agriculture cycle un [sic] which crops grow and die, and come to life again in another season." I don't think so, buster. Then, if they're not getting their bullet points straight from out of the book, they have points that don't really make sense. And if they do make sense, it takes a long time to figure out what they mean. "Neolithic religious though clearly reflected the natural world of early agricultural society." Huh? Whatever. [I'll allow you to take offense to that one if you want...] What's even more outraging is that we got docked two points for not using bullets. Just because we used numbers!! It's not as if that changes the quality of our content. This is agitating. Agitating, I tell you.
