My Favorite Day
As I walked through the door into AP English 12, I met my group members at the front of the room. It was the day we had to teach our poem to the class. Slightly nervous due to our limited time to prepare before class, we began the lesson and before I knew it, the class was almost over. We passed out cards with fictional couples to each student in preparation for speed-dating. "There is screaming," as people could not contain their excitement for the game (Currie, 302). "Everyone was even more surprised" to learn how our game related to the old poem we picked to teach (Kesey, 252). Everyone had a great time, and as they played their parts as a variety of romantic couples from movies and literature, they made sure not to reveal their "'wonderful secrets of [their lives]'" (Wilde, 22). However, the game and the class eventually came to an end. The day became my favorite due to the amazing way it all came together and the fact that my group won the prize for best presentation.

Hannah, that sounds like a lot of fun! I also wrote about the poetry presentations as one of my favorite days in AP English 12, but it wasn’t our presentation (that was too stressful to be fun!). I think those days were really fun because we got to learn in a different way, and got to see our classmates acting fairly silly. I can definitely see why you chose your group’s presentation for your favorite day in AP English 12!
