To Incoming AP Language and Composition Students

For those, entering the AP Language and Composition class, it is important that you are prepared. There are many things you will learn in this class that will help you in the future. But it is important to remember that your main purpose is to pass the AP Exam. As you are learning, it is imperative that you are aware that the purpose of the lesson is to prepare you for the exam; Every single lesson is for the AP Exam. If you do not wish to cram last minute, I suggest that you pay attention throughout the entire class. Early on you may learn things such as formal or informal writing, and after that you will probably never hear about it again in the class. So you must pick it up then and there. I cannot think of a single lesson that I did not need on the exam. So do all of your assignments, and pay attention! Thanks to Mr. Rease being an actual competent teacher, doing good on his assignments ensures that you will do exceptionally well on the exam.

 Today in class we discussed a bellringer about whether education is boring or not. In my opinion, education isn't boring if you're looking at the bigger picture. But the work involved may be boring. There's also other factors. I actually enjoyed today's lesson a bit because he went over sources which helped. I was able to write a good claim and back it up with evidence from the provided texts. Overall a really good day.

Reflection 2/16/21

Today in class we started with an fun bell ringer. It took time to think about what exactly to write but, I was able to compose something meaningful. We then went over the poem ''We Real Cool".  The poem itself was rather short. It interests me to know that there are poems with not much length but heaps of meaning. This was a great exposure to a form of poetry I hardly knew existed. I am certainly glad to have read such a poem. My take on it is that because you will die one day it's important to live a fun life in your youth. We all grow up and such moments are brief in the grand scheme of things. I do appreciate the tone that the poem alludes. Overall, I really enjoyed today's lesson.

 Today in class we went over more synthesis essays. We looked at images and made claims about them. We learned that you can analyze images and make claims using the images alone or use the images as evidence. We also learned more about sources. To be honest, I am having a few issues with the recent prompts. They're pretty hard to understand without rereading them a lot. Of course I won't have time to do so during the exam. Hopefully he goes over them more or reexplains methods to comprehend the prompts.
