Weekend HW! (Counts as TRIPLE--this is a big deal!)

If you were out today send me an email and I can send you today's (Friday's) classwork! That way you can make up the classwork over the weekend rather than having to do it all on Monday night (and you'll just have to make up your vocab quiz to catch up). Email = carofano.fm@easthartford.org.

This weekend please complete the assignment described below--this homework will be weighted more than any other thus far--each AP problem will count as 3 points (HW is usually 2), 1.5 points for doing the problem, 1.5 points for scoring it! That means this hw is a total of 6 points, or equivalent to 3 "regular" hw assignments!

This assignment must be completed exactly as it is outlined below to receive full credit--pay attention to instructions/detail! (For example, if you did not use a different color to score you will lose some points!)

Weekend HW = Complete and Score the 2016, 2007 Free Response provided in class (or below)
  1. First, complete the free response questiondo your best! Take your time and write a thorough, detailed, complete answer just as you would on the exam! You should take at most 15 minutes to do so--if you really want some authentic AP practice set a timer for 15 minutes and 
  2. Next, you must score your response using a different color pen/pencil (than what you completed the problem in). You must also record a few notes explaining why you earned the score you did (no matter if it's an E,P, or I) based on the rubric! Using the link below, read through the AP rubric for each question; you will first see sample answers, then you will see explanations for how everything is scored!
    • Each free response is scored by part (a,b,c) or "sections"--you'll see one of each
    • For each part/section you will earn a score of E (essentially correct), P (partially correct), or I (incorrect)
    • Then, based on your "E's, P's, and I's" you earn a score of 0-4 for each free response
    • READ THE RUBRIC IN DETAIL to understand this scoring system!
    • Scoring and recording notes is half of the homework grade! Don't skip this! This is the part of the process that allows us to see how the exam is scored and what we need to do to earn a 5!
  3. Here are the links to the scoring rubrics:
And finally, here are the two AP problems in case you lost yours and need to print them:
