How have I grown as a student...? Hmmm well I have been able to handle several more advanced classes this year than in previous years which has taught me to be more responsible and taught me how valuable my time is.This course has obviously prepared me for AP Literature next year, but also helped me grow as a writer since we have written several essays throughout the year.This course has prepared me for life by giving me writing skills that are necessary in college, future jobs, writing professional emails, writing resumes and etc.
The essay I found most difficult to write was the argumentation. I struggled with this because I normally don't do well in the argumentation essay, and I found it difficult to think of examples of HELP to use in my essay.
The essay I found easiest to write was the Rhetorical analysis. This was the easiest for me because I usually do well in rhetorical analysis, hence the reason why I was in the rhetorical analysis group to present awhile back.
The novel I enjoyed the most this year was The Things They Carried because I found it an easy read and enjoyed the story line along with the content it covered.
The novel I enjoyed the least was that one short story we read out of the text book at the beginning of the year (I obviously don't remember the name of it, maybe because I didn't like it that much). I feel like it was long and boring and a little pointless, but now that I think about it, maybe we used that to identify rhetorical devices. This was too long ago, I can't exactly remember.
Something I'd like Mr. Thomas to know is that you're an awesome teacher and I love your class. At the beginning of the year, I feared this AP English class a little bit since it was a step up from Pre-AP, but you made if fun and enjoyable. I think its great how you're a fair, understanding and relaxed teacher yet you get your point across and you have lots of experience to show that you're great at teaching.
Its been fun! Thanks for a great year Mr. Thomas :)
