When I found out I was put in AP English and Comp.,I thought this was going to be great but I also thought, "Oh lord we are going to be doing a lot of work." In my first day of class,I was kind of hesitant and a little scared of what I was in for. I was happy to be in a class with all my friends of course,but I was still a little frightened.So,as class went on I started to hear the teacher, Ms.Day,talk about the work my peers had over the summer. The first thing that popped in my head was,"Oooohhh noooo,Summer work? Noooo, no ma'am." That started to convince me that this class wasn't for me,but I said to myself "boy you can do this work.". So I decided to stay in the class. As the days of class went by, I started to get more and more intrigued by the class and i started to learn how to do things. I learned how to do a rhetorical and literary analysis,which turned out to be not really complicated at all. I learned about rhetorical tropes and schemes, more fluent diction and etc. I mean this class really helped me expand my English skills a lot. Doing the synthesis', arguments, analysis', syntactic variety exercises and many more things were helpful to me in the class. Also some of the passages we read helped me to pick up the skill of annotating passages to help with the understanding of them. Overall, the class was a great success to me and I'm glad I was enrolled in there, even when i did get lazy and tired of working. Also I'd like to thank my teacher Ms.Day for pushing us to learn all these terms, strategies and etc.that are going to help us in the near future. I can honestly say I enjoyed this course.
