I heard from my friend who volunteers at the Pet Cottage in Jupiter. She said they did have a high school student volunteer there last year. She doesn't know if a student must meet an age requirement. She advised contacting the Pet Cottage and asking for Wendy, he proprietor/owner. Also, Joshua's completed the AP Central Unit 4 Review in class today. He got 13 out of 18 correct, scoring 72% on this section. On the FRQ, (Frequent Response - a type of written response), scoring was generous and he received a 4 out of 5. There is extensive feedback for him on AP central. His HW is to review it tonight. We will review it together in class tomorrow. Joshua did look at it briefly at the end of class today. He said "Holy cow! Your feedback is longer than my response!" I responded, "Exactly." And I explained that his responses still need more contextualization, analysis and historical evidence. I gave Joshua an AP "hint" today. When he sees that an FRQ allows for a maximum of 1,000 words, he should note that an FRQ response of 128 words (such as the most recent) is simply not enough information. I also again reminded Joshua that he has what it takes to be successful on the AP exam, he just needs to adhere to the AP format and expectations for writing. We discussed this in the meeting with his mom yesterday, as well.
