Ap Language Reflection

420 Words2 Pages
When I asked my upperclassmen friends last year about their opinions on AP Language, these were the responses I got: “AP Language will be the death of you”, “Whatever you do in your junior year, don’t take Lang”, “It’s not worth it”, “My hardest class is AP Language”. I was told all the horror stories of annotations, timed writes, and portfolios last year as I was trying to decide if I should enroll in AP Language and Composition.

While reviewing my first memo the three main issues that I saw was the unnecessary use of verbiage, ineffective use of transitions between sentences and paragraphs, and remembering to completely flesh out each test in the rule proof. The most helpful thing I can do in to help myself is just to reread my paper multiple times and even maybe have my peers to look at my paper with fresh eyes. Being concise and to the point is clearly my biggest problem. I have started to edit my paper down multiple times on different days to cut down my extremely long and over complicated sentences. I also think that if I go sentence by sentence then it will be easier for me to cut down on the words that are not needed for the sentence to make sense.

Failing an AP course will not only tremendously lower your GPA, but shows how students who lack certain social capital skills that are typically taught at home such as time management, will struggle to adjust to the dominant institution

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 feel very overwhelmed because I read a lots of informations about Class of UNC 21 and of those previous years who have the extremely challenging course loads in high school. This made me feel a bit of slacker; however, I want to tell the Admissions more about my story. One of the reason is that Ap classes conflicted my schedules, so I have to choose between a lemon and a lime. Ap classes will help me impress college more and save more money.

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.
