Reflecting back on AP Language and Composition
When I first entered your class I didn't know what to expected. At first the work seemed like a lot but when you start doing it there was no problem. The things that I liked the about this year were the satire essays, the synthesis essay, and my favorite was the rhetorical analysis. I felt that they were some of my best things that I did this year. You taught us very well on the synthesis and the rhetorical analysis, but I feel like I wasn't taught enough on the argument essay. That would be one of the only things that I think you should work on is spend enough time on each essay. The imitations didn't really help us with anything, but I did like doing them a lot. I would say that this has been a great year, even though we had some challenges to get through it still was great.

You know, Corniesha, I agree with you: I don't think I spent as much time with the argument. In past years, I felt I was teaching too much about argument that wasn't important (like syllogisms, enthymemes, fallacies, etc.) that really wasted time. So this year, I shortened it up to teach what I thought you needed only, and now I think I didn't teach it as thoroughly. Thanks. I was really thinking the same on that. Back to the drawing board.
