My Experience

I have my flaws as a writer, but I also have improved as a writer this year. This course has definitely challenged me. This course required me to stay determined and to be a hard working. I definitely still have many things I need to work on as a writer. In the class we read various books. Some difficult readings and some entertaining. This class pushed me to try and think more complex and to push myself.

Taking this AP course was not easy for me. Asking questions and practice helped me a lot. I learned how to write various types of essays. At the beginning of the year my writing grades were not very good. I was always receiving the same grade on my writing assignments. Then later on in the year I started improving. I was improving because I was asking questions. Also the past assignments we did in previous quarters helped me to practice my writing techniques. When I had to write any paper I used an outline or a rough copy because it helped a lot. The rough copy helped me finish the assignment quicker and come up with new ideas. The argument paper was a little more harder than our past writing assignments. Trying to come up different things to add to make the paper longer and the works cited page was the most difficult part for me. The different diction we learned also helped me to write the different writing assignments we had to do. The support form our teacher helped a lot also. All the books given to us to read were enjoyable in my opinion. I especially enjoyed In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. The books we were given to read opened me up to different vocabulary.

In AP Language we were given various types of assignments. One assignment that I did like was the columnist because it was not difficult to do so it helped to boost my average in the class. I learned something new every time I had to find a columnist. The vocabulary test were also very helpful in teaching me new words and also helped to boost my average in the class because it was not difficult.
