After reviewing the feedback on your argument essay, identify one thing you did well and one area you need to improve. Explain what you will do differently the next time you write an AP Lang argument essay.

Prompt Response: One thing I did well on my argument essay was creating my thesis. I was able to provide a clear and defencible position about how documenting life through selfies shouldn't be necessary. Although I tend to struggle with creating my thesis, I was able to do well and recieve the point for this. One area where I need to improve is getting the sophistication point. I noticed how I wasn't able to distinguish taking a selfie and photo and confused them as the same thing when they are not. I need to improve making my argument more complex and not vague. Although I didn't get the sophistication point, I was able to get a good grade which I am satisfied with and hope it helps me improve. Somehing I will do differently next time is not include information that is too vague and reread my essay to make sure I get the sophistication point.

Summary: We reviewed our essay scores and analyzed the feedback and what we missed and also started writing a poem about something that is meaningful to us.

Reflection: I reviewed my essay score and was proud for what I recieved.I also began writing my poem and decided to make it a mix or rhyme and freestyle it.

Think about the word or phrase you find yourself using the most right now. What is it, what does it mean, and why has it become part of your everyday vocabulary? Explain when you typically use it and what your choice of this word or phrase might reveal about you.

 Prompt Response: A phrase I often find myself saying these days is "I don't know what I'm going to do". It has became a part of my everyday vocabulary because I feel like there's so much to do this year and I can't keep up with everythingat once. It's stressing trying to complete one thing and then having to do another and sometimes veen trying to find time and make everything fit if they're due the same day. I've been procrastinating which I definetly need to change. I have homework every week for US history, I stay after school for a club, take care of my siblings and do work for other classes as well. Right now, I have to teach myself the lessons for chemistry since my teacher is out and it's difficult when I have questions and don't have anyone to ask. I feel like I say that phrase everyday.  Summary: We jotted down new vocabulary words and their definitions and used them in exercises. Reflection: I learned some words I hadn't seen...

Today, we learned how writers create a clear line of reasoning by connecting a claim, evidence, commentary, and conclusion. Which part of building an argument is most challenging for you, and why?

 Prompt Response:The part that is most difficult for me is coming up with a claim. I know how to identify the idea that I'd include in my claim I just tend to struggle creating the claim. I could write the body paragraphs first and then the claim. Sometimes I also tend to struggle creating the conclusion without repeating everything I stated in the claim. When I am able to create a claim, everything tends to flow and I get the hang of it. I've always had a difficulty when coming up with creating claims and sometimes conclusions. Summary: We learned what phrases to avoid when creating our claim and also wrote down what we can use as evidence in our readings and what not to use. Reflection: I learned that we should avoid using second person pronouns in paragraphs and should only use them in quotes if necessary. I also learned that if we use news articles or research studies, they should be no more than 10 years ago.

Describe something you will never fully understand

Prompt Response: Something I will never fully understand is why do people get with someone just to lie to them or end up leading them on? Why is it that people start dating at such a young age and believe it's right to lie to their partner just because? I've always wondered about that. I can't say I've experienced it, but I've experienced being with someone and them talking bad about me withh their best friend. To me, it doesn't make sense to do so, like if you don't like your partner anymore, why not leave them? Is it hard just to end your relationship when you feel like you're falling out of love? Personally, I'd prefer leaving someone instead of leading them on until they find out. The feeling of finding out isn't the best, so I wouldn't want to hurt them. I'm more of a person that is straight up and admits that "this won't work out anymore, but I wish you the best and hope you find someone that'll treat you better" t...
