534 Words3 Pages

AP Language and Composition in my ears sounds terrifying knowing that English is not a strong subject of mine. I have never been one to enjoy reading, but I always thought I was a satisfactory writer because I was receiving A’s and positive feedback. This made it a no brainer to take Honors English 10. It went well for a while, but then I was hit with my first D, and I did not understand why. I was angry and upset. I struggled in class, but was in denial that it I could find help to improve. So I decided AP Lang was not for me, and I took English 11. Let me tell you, it was not one of my best decisions. The assignments were very easy, I always got an A, and my work was always kept as an example. I put no effort into anything I did, wrote all my papers the night before, and yet still passed with flying colors. This urged me to think again about AP Lang. I made a quick and …show more content…

This has always been hard for me by cause of being one to do work the way I think it should be done. I have a habit of writing to please my own ears. Mrs. Kopmeier explained once that just because someone does their artwork the way they like it to look, it does not always mean that it is the best it can be. Trying new things, and accepting criticism will change my work for the better. There will most likely be times where I complain and get upset, but I am willing to work through it. In conclusion, the most significant concept I want to improve is putting all my thoughts together and organized into a well written paper. I also commit to putting a larger effort into accepting my mistakes and fixing them. I know this class will prepare me for the future for the reason that my struggle with communicating in writing is not something I can avoid. It is a skill that I will need everyday, through college, through a career, and throughout my whole

    I took AP English Language and Composition during the 2016-17 school year. My overall grade in the class was an A. Participating in this class taught me invaluable lessons about how to convey my ideas clearly both in written and spoken word. In-class essays and the rigor of larger projects taught me to focus not only on what I was writing, but also how I was writing it. Techniques for editing and reading that I learned in AP Lang have made it easier to read my writing with more self-awareness, and also to consider how it will be interpreted by my audience and what I can do to influence that interpretation. Having taken AP Lang, I now feel more confident approaching nearly any English-related assignment, and know that I have the skills necessary

    As a former AP Lang student, I feel that this class has been very beneficial for me in that it has allowed me to apply the techniques and strategies I learned last year toward more relevant subjects. Having the freedom of choosing topics to write about for our various essays made this class more enjoyable than the other English classes that I have taken. AP Lang focused heavily on the techniques of writing solid essays, but instead of writing about useful topics, we analyzed the short stories provided on the exams. Writing a personal narrative essay was very helpful in my college application process and allowed me to employ the same kind of strategies that I learned in class into my college essays.

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.

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.
