*TWO-TROPHY
COURSE
with all eight units in any two sets
A and B, A and C, C and D, B and E, or any pair.
Suggestion, first read the partial list of contents in each course to see
where your need or interest will most likely be met, and make a decision to do 8 lessons in each of the two, OR or a total of 16 in other ways within the two courses. Extra reward for this more challenging
option. There is enough choice to make extra points possible too.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OR
if numbered correctly according to this version of Grefs, and if the equivalent number (16) are completed from assorted places, choosing
even from all five courses. Please use the personal RECORD CHART to keep track of choices and grades received. We may need it
as proof of achievement!
Be very sure to follow directions !
... . . . *ONE-TROPHY COURSE
Two ways exist: the entire set of eight (8) lessons from one of A, B, C, D, or E with plenty of choice within it.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OR
A total of 8 in other ways from within all courses.
*NOTE: "TROPHY" and points
apply only to AP (Allpoetry) participants

OTHERS who found this on my website,

homeless-- just please, e-mail proof. Answers should be submitted to this same e-mail address.

| General Information re submission and feedback. |
|
METHOD 1: It is, of course, wise
to do and submit answers in the same order that the assignments were presented, because there tends to be a logical
development in the skills involved.
METHOD 2: Where isolated items exist of course, they may be done
in any order. This is particularly true when choosing sixteen (16) unrelated items, one of the options now available,
but numerical order regardless
of letter would probably still be preferred, since the tasks grow in challenge toward the end. Also admissible,
a combination of both methods 1 and 2, doing a series, then switching to 2.
. . . Please submit answers by
e-mail to Terry for full . . . . . . . . feedback (See end)
Download a copy of the Student Record to keep track.
Suggestion, send it to your printer, and when graded, record the scores you got.
Number of A's and extras are rewarded, 5 points each.
Please Note: Grefs 4 and 8
request your opinion of this course to be complete.
Suggestions and complaints preferred.

. . Final
Assignment. . . . . .Requested
for Trophy 1
.........(and again for Trophy 2)
Please Note: Trophies are for AP members only.
1. Please write your candid comments in these three short paragraphs, to tell if you liked the course, or to be
honest, why not.
Go for it! We learn more from mistakes than from praise. Even very negative
comments cannot harm your grade!
Indeed, they helped inspire the new 2008 version!
Too many were not completing!
2. Did you make use of the e-mail grading process to ask for and get answers for things that confused, puzzled,
or annoyed you? Did the feedback clarify and explain? Was it reasonably prompt--within a week? How could we improve?
Again, be frank. (Looking for suggestions to improve, not for compliments.)
3. Are there things you would have liked to include? At which point, 1 to 4 or 5 to 8?
(That is how poetry got to be included.)

Comments on E
Course, Parts 1 to 8
The most neglected of grammatical studies today, and thus the weakest of them all, this
is the area of most urgent need.
