AP REFLECTION

When i first started class in AP Language and Composition, I didn't know it would be that challenging. I was learning about all these different types of devices that I had never heard in my life before. I can say it was a challenge to me since the years before were not as challenging as this year: better yet not at all challenging. I learned many rhetorical devices and how to write essays: Rhetorical Analysis, Synthesis, and Argument. My favorite essays were the Argument and the Synthesis. I believe those where the best ones I could write. The Rhetorical Analysis was a bit of a challenge for me because it was very confusing to me. I followed the exact format but still was confused. I enjoyed doing the Socratic seminars: they were the best! The imitations were very interesting, though I feel that they didn't help us at all. I also enjoyed doing the vocabulary packets, as well as the dialectical journals for Huckleberry Fin and Fredrick Douglas. Reading Huckleberry was one of my favorite things to do, right after reading Fredrick Douglas. This year was a hassle but I enjoyed it. I really don't see where you could improve your teaching because you're just a great teacher. Maybe if you would have taught us the years before, the class would not have been such a challenge.
