The last week has been absolutely crazy in every aspect. Between spirit week for homecoming, assemblies, work, and practice, I feel like I haven’t even had time to think. In AP Lit this week, we worked on writing our compare and contrast essays with our summer reading groups. I have struggled with my confidence as a writer this week, especially in these groups. I always feel like something in my writing isn’t write when I write in a group, always scared that I will not meet or exceed the skill level of my group members, I need to work on that. I believe that working on this group essay however really helped me, it allowed me to learn to express my ideas, as well as accept and understand the ideas of others. In the class, we also looked at, and evaluated what would be considered a 9 essay on the ap exam. It opened my eyes, and made me realize that I have some work to do in this class. The last 12 years of my school career, I have been told to set up an essay a certain way, the three part thesis, with a five paragraph essay. I need to work on learning how to set up my essays differently, in the new way. I also would like to work on getting my point across clearly, and efficiently without dragging my point on. As the class goes on, I have learned that there are a lot of things I need to work on, and I have a lot to learn, but I am capable of accomplishing this. http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/members/courses/teachers_corner/17306.html
