The first week of AP Lit was as expected, although I did not plan on already learning things. Most of the week was spent understanding what we could anticipate in this class and doing a few activities that would prepare us more when we actually dived into the curriculum. I can already tell that AP Lit will require a lot more writing than any previous year, but I'm surprisingly excited about it. I definitely think this class will allow my writing, and probably reading skills, to improve immensely. The only way to get better is to practice, right? And just by this four-day sneak peak of the year, I can tell there will a lot of group sharing involved too. Mr. Schoenborn is really adept to getting students to think on their own and explore their own thoughts. Throughout the year my classmates and I will just get better at this, and I think it will be incredibly helpful in our futures. Being able to write what you think without other people’s influences is an important skill to have. In class today, our video discussed writing what you want to say, not what you think someone wants to hear. Sometimes students are so focused on getting a good grade they write what they believe will please the teacher. Sometimes students are afraid to voice their opinion in their writing out of fear they will be ridiculed by their peers. I’m ready to get over those fears. writing tips from famous authors
