Assignment 26: Help! I need somebody. Help!- Jake Tucker

Honestly, the most pointless things we have done all year are these blog posts and the visual literacy projects. I do not see any benefit from either. This is because every single time with the blog posts, I have waited till the last second and scrambled to do all of them on one Sunday night, as I am currently doing. As for the visual literacy, it was just plain annoying. I saw no point in making multiple advertisements for a pencil and lacked the intuition or awareness to the reason why we had to do them. It in no way prepared me for any test, AP or others, and really just added on to an already massive workload from the rest of my teachers. Those are really the only bad things we did. The many essays we wrote, while annoying, were effective in preparation for the AP test, and the Socratic seminars were helpful even though I didn't personally enjoy them. I just wish we would have moved along in grading the essays a little quicker.
