AP Language Class Reflection

646 Words3 Pages

Over the course of this class I have greatly improved my writing skills. Although I have kept my grade at a 95% for each paper, it is evident that I am a different type of writer from when I wrote my first paper in this class. By improving on quote integration, correct grammar, and strong thesis', I have been able to become a more skilled and better all around writer. It is especially clear to see the improvement in my spelling and grammar. On the first paper I made 6 mistakes, the second paper 4, and the final paper none. The constant decrease in mistakes comes from, learning to challenging myself to reread my paper numerous times until I feel that it is as perfect as I can make it. The grading deduction for every grammar and spelling error really pushed me to make sure that I hadn't left any mistakes in my paper. I also have gotten into the habit of having my peers and my parents read my paper, following the peer evaluation. I like to hear as many peoples' opinions as I can before I turn in my paper. I know this will be a very beneficial habit in college.
I believe my biggest weakness is strong diction. It would benefit me to learn more …show more content…

After finishing my AP language class last year, I was brain numb to writing essays. After taking this class, I've rediscovered my love for writing. I felt that in the past, I would simply write papers just to get them finished and didn't take much pride in them. Since I am not writing a paper every week, when we do write papers, I feel like I can take my time on them to make sure what I am saying is coming off exactly the way I want my readers to see it. This skill is helping my develop my own style of writing which is something I constantly strive to be better at. Since I take more pride in my writing ability it allows me to challenge myself and push my skill set. When we are given time to write a paper, I have began to write many drafts until I finally finish the perfect

    What am I doing here? A student themselves chooses whether or not their education will be an extra challenge in life. It depends on how ambitious one is to be a successful person in the future, or how lazy a person is and not having any motivation or inspiration to do better. Not everything in life will come in easy, so there is nothing that I can have too much of that cannot be an advantage later on. That being said, there are reasons to why each of us was driven to take AP Literature, having in mind of what we want to gain from it, and eventually you will realize what can be expected from each and every single one of us.

    The 2017 AP Language and Composition course was purely correlated to challenging prospering to potential readers and writers. Its evidential goal was designed to build a basis of using appropriate rhetoric devices as to make his or her idea tangible to others. Although our “particular” class was very outspoken at times, overall I do believe we know how to better communicate our insights through both writings and in speech than we did at the beginning of the year. Unlike any year of English’s class, I concur that we grew in our level of proficiency as a writer and in our progress as a critical reader. Nevertheless, personally, I would like to believe that I’m well-suited in getting an A for both effort and skill based qualifications.

    I came into my first college writing class feeling prepared thanks to you and your investment in me as a student in your AP Lang class. I developed as a writer more than I ever had in your class, and it definitely helped me in my college writing class this semester. I already knew how important it was to revise and continuously critically think about my writing, as well as the importance of multiple drafts and peer review. My English 110 class this semester was very similar to yours because we also did multiple drafts where I could revise my paper as many times as needed. The big difference was that the focus was on different genres and how to appeal to those, which was something new compared to my high school English courses.

    This gives me a jump start, or flow of ideas that can later on benefit my paper. In the article, Writing What Matters: A Students’ Struggle to Bridge the Academic/Personal Divide Emily Strasser uses the following sentence to highlight and pinpoint the real true value of writing “Writing can and should be much more than sophisticated sentence structure and nuanced word choices. The devices of grammar and rhetoric remain superficial skills until a writer employs them to express important and powerful feelings, thoughts and ideas” (WaW Pg.200). I enjoy writing about myself because it helps me express my feelings. A paper may include correct grammar and word-context, but until the writer can intertwine powerful thoughts and feelings into the work, the writer is unable to accomplish the overall intended goal.

In the writing process, the step that I feel I have improved a lot is editing, as I am constantly reading my writings and editing them as I finish them, over and over again before I publish them.

We must submit the rough draft before the due date of the assignment, which helps us to have clarification from our instructor and from a classmate.
