Prompt: Think about a time when you completed an assignment without fully understanding what the teacher was looking for.

 Prompt Response: A time I completed an assignment without fully understanding what the teacher was looking for was on the third week of August. My AP US History teacher assigned our class a project on creating a graphic organizer on all eight periods of the AP US History cirriculum. He wanted us to display our knowledge on all eight periods with research, drawings, historically accurate examples, reasoning, etc. I did not really undertsand the rubric and what he was asking for so I did not get the grade I was looking for, but it was still a good grade. Knowing the "ins and outs" of a rubric would have helped me and changed the way I had approached that assignment because I would have known exactly what to do, and what he was looking for to ensure I got the grade I wanted. You have to make sure to follow the rubric and do exactly what it is asking you to do for the AP Lang Argument Essay rubric in order for you get a good grade, connecting to the assignment in AP US History I did in the past.

Summary: Monday, in class we looked over and analyzed the AP Lang Argument Essay rubric. We took notes as a class and highlighted improtant parts of the rubric to prepare for our argument essay we will be doing on Wednesday. 

Reflection: This will help me with following directons and my note taking skills on important topics to study for tests and quizzes. This will especailly help me with my argument essay writing skills because of looking over this rubric.

Prompt: Write about something that you believed as a child.

 Something that I believed as a child was Santa Claus. Christmas was very special to me back then because my parents would take my siblings and I to see Santa and we would write down our wish lists. Then when it was Christmas Eve my brothers and I would make cookies and leave milk for Santa. We would also leave out celery and carrots for the reindeer and we would leave him a nice card. My grandparents always came over and spent the night on Christmas Eve with us so we would watch Christmas classics and watch the Santa tracker until we got too tired and eventually went to our rooms to sleep. In the middle of the night it was impossible for me to fall asleep because of how excited I was for Santa to come. Most Christmas's one of my brothers and I would always wake up way early than everyone else to see what Santa brought and we would read his card and look at the Christmas tree illuminating in the dark. In the morning my parents always made a very good breakfast and we would open gif...

Prompt: Which learning method do you enjoy the most? Class discussions, worksheet work, or hands-on activities. Select one and tell why.

 Prompt Response: The learning method I enjoy most is hands-on activities. I really enjoy hands-on activities because it gives me practice but also makes the lecture or activity fun at the same time, so I am getting both good ends of the deal. I also work better when doing hands-on activities because I really enjoy doing them. Lastly, I am also very involved in hands on activites amd I typically do much better when I am up moving around or being active in an activity, so that is another reason why hands-on activities are the most beneficial method that I can do while also enjoying doing it as well. Summary: Today in class, we practiced supporting our reasons with claims to back up our evidence. We also made a box to identify five ways we experienced, observed, or read something to back up our claim. Reflection: I can apply this on any future assignment, test, or quizz involving readings where I need to back up my evidence. This is benficial so I can improve upon my backing up of ev...

Prompt: Talk about a time when you had to write a poem, whether it was for an assignment, event, or special occasion. What was the writing process like for you, and were you proud of the finished product?

 Prompt Response: A time I had to write a poem was last year in my pre-AP Language Arts class. Our class was doing our poetry unit, where we had to write a poem from the point of view of an everyday object. I chose to write about a pencil. The writing process was very smooth; I primarily focused on my rhyme scheme, and it worked very well. I also didn't have to stop and think mid-poem about what to write next; everything clicked. Ultimately, I was very pleased with the end result of my poem; it looked very professional, had a good rhyme scheme, and was quite humorous.  Summary: Monday in class, we analyzed a poem called "Constantly Risking Absurdity" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. We took notes and highlighted important information in this poem to help answer a worksheet we would be doing in class on Tuesday. Reflection: This lesson helped me not only with analyzing a text but also with taking good, effective notes. This lesson will help me on future assignments, tests, and qu...
