What are three goals that you want to achieve this academic year?

     I think that I’ve always struggled with being confident with my writing and knowing where to start in general, so one of my goals this year to achieve is to become a better writer and learn how to structure my writing better. This will help me prepare better when taking my SAT or applying for colleges in the future. I’ve also never been the best at comprehending or understanding what I read so I think I would just like to really understand what I’m reading when it comes to long passages or books. Another goal I would like to achieve this academic year is probably balancing and maintain my grades while also participating in a spring sport, which could be difficult. This school year I also hope to create a great relationship with all my teachers which I think could really benefit me in the future.

Write about a conversation that changed you.

     One conversation that definitely changed my view on things was a conversation with my pastor. I was discussing how lost I felt in my religious life, and my faith in Jesus wasn't the strongest. I said to her that something was missing and that I was not feeling like I believed in a religion. She then told me that it is not about religion with Jesus Christ; it is simply you believing that he died on the cross for everyone's sin and having faith in him. Instead of following religion, I should focus on a personal relationship with Jesus. I think this conversation was really helpful for me. It truly allowed me to shift my focus to my personal relationship rather than other parts of the religion.  In class today, we completed the worksheet given to us on Monday and turned it in.  In poetry, it is very easy to relate situations to real-world things, like in the one we read as a class. By connecting back to worldly things, it allows the audience to easily understan...

Write about something that you believed as a child.

       Prompt Response:  As a child I often believed that there was always a monster hiding under my bed. I believe it first started when a watched a movie where a monster was under a child bed. I cant remember what the exact movie was but it was scary. I think I also believed that monsters were hiding in any dark places no matter where. So whenever I was going to bed as a child I was always very cautious of the potential monsters hiding. Even today as a teenager I tend to still think that there is some creature hiding somewhere in my room.   Summary: In class we took some notes discussing the types of claims.  Reflection:  In class I learned about three main types of claims which included Claims of Fact, Claims of value, and Claims of Policy. I think I use of policy greatly to propose or impose a specific change in the real world. I could also apply it to small scale individual situations .

With 4.5-week grades posting on September 2, reflect on your experience in AP Language so far. What has been going well for you, what has been challenging, and what is one thing you need to improve moving forward?

            In  the 4 1/2 weeks that have gone by something that has been going well for me is starting off my grades high and keeping them high. Something that has been challenging for me is a lot of the work that I’ve been getting from mostly my APs, but it is what I expected from being a junior. Something I think I really need to improve on is just my writing in general and my confidence in my writing. I tend to not know where and how to start my writing and just sit there for a while without writing anything wasting a lot of time. I also feel that I have not been participating as much as I want to just because I think I would say the wrong thing and get judged. In class we started and finished the argumentative paragraph on our positions that we had on a “good kill” in writeable. In the process of writing, my argumentative paragraph I did waste a lot of time not knowing where to start so that was not the best so I really need to work on some w...
