2013-2014 Reflection for AP Language and Composition

This year was a learning experience for me. I learned a lot of things that I have never even heard of and my mind was definitely challenged. My favorite lessons were those of the synthesis essay and the vocabulary packets. My least favorite lesson was the rhetorical analysis essay. I still cannot remember the format for doing it. Other than that lesson, the rest was good. I do not understand the point why we had to watch "Raisin In the Sun". I mean,it was a good play/movie, but I didn't see a place for it in our lesson. You have became one of my favorite teachers this year. Even though you were crazy at time, you were earnest when needed. You always made sure that we understood when we didn't and were on point with commentary and feedback if not from you then from my classmates. Those group sessions helped a lot! There is not anything better than getting critiqued from your own people. I like the fact that we could express ourselves in this class and feel comfortable while doing so. Whether it was about the meaning behind "Animal Farm" or what happened on "Love & Hip-Hop". Your class was the only whereas me and my fellow classmates didn't feel so trapped in. We could laugh, I mean actually laugh, without having to hide it. We could say whatever we felt without worrying about being judged. We didn't have to limit our writing boundaries neither which was a major relief and it felt good. You and this whole experience this year will really help me in the long run and honestly, it already did. Well,this could be my last year with you and even though I want to hate it, I'm glad that you left us with something to help us throughout our lives. I'm going to end this essay with the fact that you are very appreciated and every lesson you taught will be put to use.
