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…

I believe this is due to the class being made of students expecting a more difficult workload and wanting to take it on. This allows for the class to move faster and for it to be easier to have serious discussions on more complex ideas. I strongly look forward to this aspect of classes and hope to see it portrayed in AP Composition and Literature. 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.

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.

Whenever I think about what I have learned since the beginning of this course—English 101, It always gives me a great pleasure to tell myself and people around me that I have learned something great; something that can make me a better writer. However, I have learned some writing skills based on the course’s teaching learning objectives that can help me in my future courses. Also, I’m glad, because my strength in writing essays have increased. Most especially, writing narrative essay in MLA formatting. I might not be an excellent writer, but I know I have not stopped learning, and I know I will get pay-off in the long run if I can keep the ongoing pace of my learning—guaranteed.

At the beginning of the year, I found that I could not succeed at AP Language with what I had learnt in EAP. Under timed settings, I had a hard time building claims and finding evidence; in other time, my writing could be redundant and hard to understand. Therefore, I have set a list of goals, and I have critically reflected my writings according to these goals. Throughout the year, one of my strengths is clear transitions between ideas in my essays. Another strength has been applying SOAPStone to integrate sources after I became familiar with the analysis tool.

My Journey Through AP Language & Composition As I stand outside of Ms. Rasmussen's room, my AP Language & Composition teacher, I wonder if this year will be different than the past two years. Don't get me wrong, I like English on a certain level, but it's definitely not one of my favorite subjects. In the past, my English teachers would have everyone participate in the class because they wanted everyone to be involved. Sometimes, we would have to write essays. If anyone knows me, they know I like to write a lot, but I struggle when it's a topic that I don't have a response to.

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. I was not thrilled about interpreting literature because I felt it was just academically accepted navel-gazing.

Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. 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. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.
