AP Composition Reflection

514 Words3 Pages

My decision to take AP Composition and Literature has been made for a long period of time as I have always excelled and enjoyed my English classes. I also am always looking to further challenge myself academically when possible. While this made my decision for wanting to be in this class simple, I do fear of not keeping up with the workload as this year my schedule is made up of five advance placement classes. However, I have planned and prepared myself for this workload and while it will be difficult, I believe I have a plan that will allow me to keep up in all my courses. From AP Composition and Literature I hope see course work including a strong element of writing and formatting simply because they are areas I believe I am need of the most improvement. Although beyond what I hope to see in the course work, what I wish to gain even more from this class is grasp on what college level literature classes will be like. To explore how the environment and coursework varies from a high school level literature course. …show more content…

This allows for the class to move faster and for it to be easier to have serious discussions on more complex ideas.

For me it makes the class more enjoyable and increases a deeper understanding of a greater range of knowledge gained though the

When registering for this class, a wave of worry ran through me, because I had minimal skill when it came to writing, particularly in the field of formal writing. The high school I attended was academically poor, we never wrote formal papers, just informal book and movie responses. Therefore I was apprehensive about this class. This course was quite intricate, but I attend skills that will aid me for the rest of my academic career. Rhetorical knowledge, critical inquiry, process, and conventions are all concepts I have acquired.

AP English: Influence Creativity

444 Words | 2 Pages

Although AP English requires a great deal of reading, this can be beneficial. Reading can help inspire creativity and it also improves one’s writing, both areas in which I could use positive influence. One way to help manage all the reading is to manage time properly. Another way is to already have the books in possession so that once the book is needed, it will not have to be searched for. When writing an essay important information to keep in mind would be to stay organized, not only with your thoughts, but also with the writing itself.

Looking back on how I started out this class is a bit odd. The oddity comes from how differently I write and think now compared to the beginning. In the beginning I took the class simply because my preceptor picked it and I did not mind reading.

In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester.
