"Can We Leave Yet?"
Gilmore Chapter #5

The time has come in the semester when I go into freak out mode. It is a time where all assignments are assigned and you have the rest of the semester to figure out when you will work on each assignment and when you will complete them. This weekend, yes i am a nerd, I made a poster chart, because believe it or not this is my most stressful semester in college yet! I created a chart of assignments and dates, then I split them all up in three deadlines. I felt more at ease and less scattered once the list and organized assignments were right in front of me and hung on my wall. So, when Gilmore speaks of the importance lists are to a students education, he could not have spoken more true words.
Lists can help a student to become more organized, and once thoughts are organized it is easier to learn and remember, in my experience. Therefore, using lists to prep for AP testing, is a great way to prepare students in recalling the information were suppose to remember throughout their high school career.
One last remark, revison strategies can get complicated and slightly overwhelming for students, so having a check list to break down what needs to be done would make a student less frustrated with the assignment in general, as a result, the assignment will come back the way I had expected, instead of all thrown together in a frenzie!
