1st Quarter Reflection

-
My first quarter of 11th grade AP English and Composition has come to an end. I have so many thoughts and feelings regarding this class. I also feel that there are changes that must be made. At the start of this school year I never knew what to expect out of this class. Over this short time I have experienced a lot. I have been shown that being able to engage in conversations from  a wide variety of topics from political affairs, current events, and controversies are vital. This does not apply to only the class, but these things may come up in daily life or on the AP exam. I now know that what I sometimes write can be vague or off topic. Focusing on the actual point of things rather than trying to add onto what has been given is important. Going into second quarter and the rest of the school year I expect to improve on some of the things I have said and much more. I want to have a successful year full of constant growth as a student.

Into the unknown

Mr. Rease was finally back in class today. We begin with listing tens songs that have a great effect on us or out memories. I was very happy about this because I absolutely love music and showing others what I like. Afterwards the entire class got to  show a song and and express how we feel about it. Mr. Rease also did this and I enjoy when he tells us about himself and his life. We also dove into a new poem today I missed reading them. All the kinds he presents to us are always intriguing and pushing us to make us think deeper which is something I need to work on.

My inner poet

-
We started class with begging given 3 different pieces of paper. All of them were different and I already had a bad feeling. One was a poem one was questions and another was a project! We have been assigned to act out a Maya Angelou poem, write a one page paper about it and do a poster. The hardest part of this for me will define fly be memorizing and acting out the poem. It puts me out of my comfort zone and I am scared I will stumble on my words. The project will be due in about two weeks I hope everything goes well.

Same old same old

Just as we have been lately we went over more poems. Today was different because they were not only Maya Angelou but also Langston Hughes. The poems were interesting because they were the opposite of one another. One was mother to son and the other was son to mother. That is an interesting top pic overall because mother and son relationships tend to be problematic in society. I really have been enjoying the analysis of poems very much especially what we did today. Class ended with us answering a few questions and watching videos of poetry out loud. This is to prepare us for our upcoming presentations next week of our own poems.
