Will is on day two (of seven) of grading AP exams. Below is the question to which he has been assigned. Yesterday included training on the rubric. Today he begins the tedious work of reading the same answers again and again -- in fact, he will grade about 1200 exams by the end of the week.
Evan, Alex and I appreciate that he does this for two reasons: 1) it pays a little bit, and more importantly, 2) the kids and I (and soon Dan and Susan) enjoy spending time at the beach and pools while on Daytona Beach. When Will completes his grading each afternoon, we hope to hit the water with him, too!
Thanks, Honey.

Ok, we're dying to know the other questions. Jeff is wanting to answer the question(s) you posted and see if he can get them right. Sounds to me like someone needs to go back to school! :)
Send the questions so I can be glad it's Will, not me, who has to grade them! Glad you guys are having fun. Dad
