As I sit here on my computer with football on in the background I begin to realize the beauty of our blog assignment. Honestly, what could be better than doing a semester exam for a difficult AP class in the luxury of one’s own home? I have sincerely enjoyed having the ability to relax and blog on my own rather than having to stress over a 90 minute essay worth 20% of my grade. Also, I feel like we have written about much broader subjects in our blogs than we would have done in a semester exam essay. We had the chance to express our creativity in ways that wecould not have done otherwise. I feel like it got our brains working in a different way. Instead of doing typical “cookie cutter” essays which have not changed much since last year we could freely and more effectively express our thoughts.
Another aspect of the blog project I really enjoyed was reading other student’s blogs. Like seriously I actually liked reading them. For one, they are mind expanding and thought provoking. They’re also often hilarious and really fun to read. Getting to see another side of many of my companions makes me feel very confident that CFHS has prepared us well for life in the real world.
Overall, the blog project rocked. It provides the perfect amount of low stress and work for a final exam.
