Back to normal
Well, Agora Days is winding down and it is time to get back to the real classes. I don’t know about you, but I have a lot to catch up on.
For one thing, I have forgotten most of the sine and cosine graph stuff. That is really unfortunate because I have a test Wednesday. Also, I have an English paper that is due the day we get back. That is nothing compared to what the advanced calculus people have to deal with even though it is Agora Days.
Part of my mind still lingers on my upcoming assignments, I can’t fully enjoy this week of relaxation. I am worried about bombing my math test because it has been so long since I have done anything math-related.
What would be optimal is for every class to finish the unit right before Agora Days so that we can start a new unit right after we come back. This way, no one has to worry about their classes and can engage themselves fully in Agora Days.
That is what we did in U.S. history this year, and it really helped a lot. There was a test and a project due right before Agora Days. Everyone got those done, so when we get back, we will be fresh and ready to get started on a new unit.
Another solution would be to have one or two days after we come back for everyone to get on the same page.
I realize that this doesn’t apply to everybody, but it would definitely help me get back in the flow of things after Agora Days.
