I, Tatyanta, have reached a goal that I thought would had been impossible or hard to pursue. Two years ago I received information about AP (Advanced Placement) classes; classes that students take in order to receive a college credit, its higher level learning. my junior year I decided to challenge myself beyond all means possible; taking honors and AP classes in the same year is truly a challenge for young students today.
My favorite teacher, Mrs.Day, taught me a variety of things:writing Argument, Synthesis, Rhetorical Analysis essays, and multiple choice questions. I know that teaching AP language and Composition might have been difficult for her, but she continued and yet taught 14 bright students how to pass and make a 5 on the nationwide AP test. This not only prepare us for a rigorous college coarse but she improved our comprehension of literacy in the world. Now I know that i'm prepared to learn on a level that most high school students wouldn't dare to attempt.
While taking the coarse I bettered my learning, comprehension, and speech skills. it goes to say then, that, Socratic seminars were my favorite activities int the class, The way that we hear each others perspectives and view points broadens our view of thoughts and opinions on the topic; this is beneficial for our real world, day to day lives.
Mrs. day asked if there was an activity that I disliked during the year. Honestly, everything we did was so much fun and joyous but i would say my least favorite activity was learning how to qualify an argument; its so confusing and yet more complicated than defending and refuting arguments. Other than that, this class was absolutely perfect.
I want t thank yo, Mrs. Day, for all the effort you put in while teaching me. You are the true definition of an awesome teacher. When these AP scores return i hope that you will be proud but I know you are proud of us anyways.
Without this class I wouldn't understand the different points of literacy. I can now say that I am a step ahead of high school students but ready to continue taking on the rigorous college courses for my future.
