LHS has many boring classes, but never comfy enough to nap. In chemistry, you risk a chemical getting spilled during a lab, and in math, you have missed an entire unit because of one wrong move. No productive class is good for sleeping until AP Lang & Comp arrives on the scene.
Rhetorical, expository, argumentative, synthesis and the famous “Great Gatsby,” all share two things in common. You can discuss them in AP Lang & Comp, and you can take a nap while doing so. Your teacher is going through a prompt for an essay? Nap! It is on a Google Doc, so review it later. A rhetorical device numbing your brain? Nap! You will end up seeing it sometime in the future when you are not tired. “The Great Gatsby” is playing? Nap! You’ve read it before (hopefully) for class so it is the perfect time to hit that snooze button and have a little more rest.
No pillow? Bring your trusty writer’s notebook, lay your head down and shut your pretty little eyes, you deserve it! Don’t worry that all of this will be on the test that you can get college credit for, you have got this! Go on Block Blast or any other mobile game! This is the most boring class, you have got to do something to entertain yourself. An in-class essay on Tuesday during 1st period? Pshhh- no problem, this stuff is a walk in the park, if you classify a walk in the park as a bumpy hike.
Advanced Placement classes, more well-known as AP, are meant to give a high-school student a college-level class. While many require a hefty amount of time and effort, AP Lang & Comp does not fit into that frame. With minimal homework and once-in-a-blue-moon projects, it mostly contains reading articles, essays, poems and speeches, analyzing the works and writing an essay. So it is easy….right? The three-hour and 15-minute long test is made up of three timed essays and multiple-choice questions. The questions contain rhetorical choices, reading, analyzing, etc. While the essays are random, the students do not know what they are getting for a prompt or subject. All they know is that they have to get above a three to pass and get college credit. The day before tests, many students are found cramming. AP Physics, Chemistry, Stats, U.S. History, World History, etc. but never AP Lang & Comp. That’s why it is perfect for a quick snooze before or after your harder, more effort-inducing classes.
