Today, we learned how writers create a clear line of reasoning by connecting a claim, evidence, commentary, and conclusion. Which part of building an argument is most challenging for you, and why?

Prompt: Remembering evidence is the hardest part for me. I think it is because we discuss various topics in AP language and. It is sometimes hard to recall recent, and relevant knowledge about a topic. To improve this I am trying my best to increase my readings and experiences to create a more full bank of evidence. I think reasoning is the easiest part for me because with evidence you can connect your points by just talking about how they relate to each other and your claim. However, to have strong reasoning, you need strong evidence.

Summary: Today in class we took notes and learned about how the line of reasoning is used to connect points.

Reflection: Today’s lesson about line of reasoning  be helpful to strengthen my arguments. By studying how lines of reasoning are created and strengthened I can improve my writing and hopefully score in the ap exam.

Write about something you’ve always been curious about.

 Prompt: One thing I’ve always been curious about is life after death. My background is Christian, leading me to believe that there is a heaven and a hell and one’s decisions during their life determine where they will be after passing. However, the science says otherwise. Biology and neuroscience show that there is no life after death. They state that once you stop breathing and your heart and brain stops there is just void. This will forever be a mystery and I will always wonder if a soul exists or not. Summary: In class today we got in groups and started to write a paragraph together. Reflection:  We practiced planning a paragraph in class. This will be helpful to increase my planning efficiency for the ap test.

The dictionary definition of the word brother is a male sibling sharing on or both parents as the person. However, it could also mean a person that you have a close relation with. I find myself using it a lot as a term to address my close friends, as well as an exclamation in reaction to an array of statements.
