Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt Response: One thing that makes me different from other people is that I like to run. I currently have shin splints so I can't run right now. I normally do cross country but because I am injured I sadly couldn't do it this season. My favorite place to run on boardwalks by the beach. I also love running with friends and my mom.

Summary: We took a reading comprehension quiz in class today.

Reflection: I learned that my test stamina needs to be improved. I also learned that sometimes its harder for me to read when I'm tired but I am improving.

After reviewing and scoring other AP Language argument essays, identify two important takeaways that you can apply to your own writing. Explain what you learned about claims, evidence, commentary, the “so what?” explanation, or the AP rubric. Use specific observations from the essays you reviewed. Write one complete paragraph.

  Prompt Response:  Two important things that I took away was how to really write commentary for an argumentative essay and how important including it in your AP Lang Argumentative Essay is. Originally I didn't understand how to really write commentary very well. This lesson was helpful because it taught me how to. It broke down all the things I needed to do in order to receive full points on the rubric. It also taught me how to correctly and effectively write commentary. Summary: Today in class we used the rubric to grade real examples of AP Lang Argumentative essays. Reflection: I found today's lesson very helpful and it was probably one of the most helpful lessons I've had. I now feel that when I have to write commentary for a piece of evidence in an essay I will be able to effectively do so.

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 most challenging part of building an argument for me is the commentary. The commentary is the hardest part for me because you have to explain your evidence and not just restate it. Doing this can be hard because sometimes it is difficult to elaborate and explain your evidence without sounding repetitive.

Also, without strong commentary, the reader might miss the connection between the claim and the evidence and that could cause the argument to fall apart.  Summary: Absent Reflection: Absent

In “Missing Your People,” Tracy Brower explains the importance of belonging. Describe a time when you felt like you truly belonged. What created that feeling?

  Prompt Response:  One time I felt that I truly belonged was at a family reunion. All of my cousins, aunts, and uncles from my dad's side were at this reunion. I felt like I belonged because all of my extended family is pretty close and they are all so kind and considerate. One of my cousins is also my age and we're best friends so being with her also helps create that sense of belonging. Overall being with my extended family and having fun with them is a time where I always feel I belong because they make sure that nobody feels left out or loved less than anyone else. Summary: Today in class we did an assignment on CommonLit. Reflection: The CommonLit assignment was about the connection between cell phones and sense of belonging. This assignment was helpful because we had to identify how the author used research to prove and support their print of view.
