Today we had to write a synthesis essay on space exploration and explain what we thought should be the most important aspects of the decision.
I thought it would go pretty smooth, the topic seemed easy to write so I turned the page to start writing.
WHAT THE HECK!?! basically none of the sources were about space travel and/or exploration. What does the National Institute of Health have to do about space exploration? Or how taxpayers money is spent?
This was one of the toughest connections that I've ever had to write. I really hope that the synthesis essay I have to write for the AP exam will not even come close to the material in this question.

I agree, Melissa. I usually have trouble making a valid argument anyways, but this was especially difficult!! I'll be in big trouble if this comes up on the AP exam. I hope the question will be somewhat easier. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who had problems!
ReplyDeleteHuh...I actually thought that was one of the easiest timed writings we've ever had. I agree that the National Institute of Health seemed irrelevant, but we didn't have to use all the sources so I just ignored it. I see your point though.
