Working with others can expose you to ideas or perspectives you may not have considered on your own. What is one idea, suggestion, or approach from a group member that improved your paragraph or changed the way you thought about the argument? Explain how it helped you.

 In my group is Eden S, Bryson B, and Leighton M. They are all bright individuals who work very hard and give excellent ideas. Bryson in particular gives the most suggestions. I think Bryson gives the most ideas that I have not even thought of. This makes me think of new perspectives and different approaches to ideas that I did not know about. Bryson for our prompt about how human are naturally born unequal, gave the idea that physically people aren't born equal and used sports as an example. When I first thought of the concept of physically unequal, I thought of disabilities that people go through and never thought of sports and how people could have a disadvantage when it came to certain sports and criteria's.

Summary: Today in class we did a vocabulary assignment. We used the book and wrote definitions and practiced the different words within sentences.

Reflection: Doing these practices helps me practice with these words for future tests. These words can deepen my understanding of certain phrasing and help me accelerate in my everyday vocabulary.

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.

Currently, I use phrases that I am commonly exposed to, like "bruh", I also use phrases that are common among gen z. These phrases are in a lot of peoples vocabulary as well. These words don't have any meaning yet, a large population of people understanding its meaning and how to use it. Words like "bruh", aren't professional, however, it captures that feeling or expression that is trying to be expressed. It has become part of my vocabulary simply because I have been exposed to it so much through the internet. I typically use this phrase when something isn't working out, when I am annoyed with something, or when someone says something dumb. Saying this phrase and others phrases like it most likely shows that I am connect with gen z ideas and I am "up to date" with the newest trends.  Summary: In class I was not present but we looked over vocab in the book. We went over definitions and practiced with using them in phrases. Reflection: Doing thes...

Write about something you’ve always been curious about.

I have always been interested and curious about people in general. I have been curious about how everyones minds work and what they are thinking. I have always been fascinated in people and their professions. For example, I would never be interested in being an eye doctor, however so many people are and they actually make a living out of it. I have been curious about what prompted them to want to be an eye doctor? Is it about the money? Are they actually that interested in eyes? Do they just want to help people? I have been curious about people and why they choose to set out their life the way that they do. Overall, I think I just am a very curious person when it comes to people and why they choose to do certain things in their life. Summary: Today in class we went over what to do and what not to do when writing an essay. We also looked over our paragraphs and started to type them. Reflection: Learning more and more about claims different elements to understanding an authors line of re...

With 4.5-week grades posting on September 2, reflect on your experience in AP Language so far. What has been going well for you, what has been challenging, and what is one thing you need to improve moving forward?

 So far in AP lang, I have been learning new methods and exercises that help me break down a prompt to help me fully understand what I am being asked and how I should go about answering it. I have also learned about different types of claims and how to use evidence through experience, readings, and observations. I think I have been fairly good and keeping up with the different kinds of claims and applying them to situations Im learning about. I think I may need to improve my writing time because it is the most challenging thing for me. I can come up with a good claim and evidence when I have all the time I need to brainstorm, however, under a time crunch, I tend to freak out instead of focusing on the prompt. I would like to figure out how to write everything I need to write in a timely manner and keep up the stamina to write essays in that time. Summary: Today we wrote our paragraph in writable. We read ambush and answered the prompt in that class period. Reflection: Practicing wr...
