After reviewing the feedback on your argument essay, identify one thing you did well and one area you need to improve. Explain what you will do differently the next time you write an AP Lang argument essay.

Prompt: After reviewing the feedback on my argument essay one area I need to improve on is complexity. I set up the scene by presenting a counterargument, but need to focus on bringing more nuance to my essay. One thin I did well is prove my claims with evidence. The evidence I selected made it obvious why they proved my claims. It also allowed me to further prove it with reasoning and commentary

Summary: In class we went over our essays and began writing our poems.

Reflection: Writing my own poem will be useful for the ap exam. This was good practice for quickly organizing my thoughts and writing them in a neat and comprehensible way.

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.

Describe a time you felt lost

 Prompt: I time I felt lost was when I moved away from my old house. That house was everything I'd ever known, from the carpeted upstairs level to the kitchen table i'd cut my nose on. Losing that feeling of home felt like nothing i'd ever felt before. But, with a little time, and support from my family, I quickly adjusted to my new lifestyle, neighborhood, and school. Without them, I would've felt lost for a much longer time. Summary: Today in class we talked about claims of fact, policy, and value and how to identify these claims from a text Reflection: Identifying claims is important to understand how arguments work. This is valuable information to note when writing my own arguments and deciphering other claims.

  Think about the word or phrase you find yourself using the most right now. What is it, what does it mean, and why has it become part of your everyday vocabulary? Explain when you typically use it and what your choice of this word or phrase might reveal about you. Prompt: The word that I use the most right now is most likely "Brother". 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. I'm not quite sure what this would reveal about me but I do like what my use of the term shows about my relationship with my close friends. Summary: In class today we practiced vocabulary and synthesized information from a short text. Reflection: I can use what we learned in class today to increase my vocabulary. By increasing my vo...
