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?

Prompt Response: My experience being in AP Lang so far has been very positive. The daily paragraphs have been going very well because they're making me more consistent in my writing and improving my grammar. One challenging thing for me is identifying ethos, pathos, and logos. One thing I want to improve moving forward is my argumentative paragraphs. In the past, they have not been very good, and I have been unsure of what to write. 

Summary: Not in class.

Reflection: Not in class.

Think about a time when you made a claim or gave an opinion, but someone asked you, “Why?” or “How do you know?” Describe the situation. What evidence did you use to support your point, and why is explaining your evidence just as important as providing it?

Prompt Response:  I made a claim stating that  The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping  will be the best movie of the year. Someone asked me why, and I backed it up by stating some evidence. I said that the trailers and promo pictures look really awesome, and all the interviews and critic reviews say how amazing it is. The past five Hunger Games  movies have been amazing and lived up to expectations. The book accuracy was also good compared to others. Explaining your evidence is really important because it shows that you really know what you're talking about.  Summary: Today in class, we learned about the importance of explaining our evidence.  Reflection:  This is important because being able to support your claim shows that you are passionate about it and that you actually know what you are saying.

How has living in or around Atlanta influenced the way you see your community, culture, or identity? If you were speaking to someone unfamiliar with Atlanta, what would you want them to understand about your community?

Prompt Response:  Living around Atlanta has influenced how  I see my community because everyone behaves  differently. I see people being respectful and kind, and then I see them  throwing their trash into  bushes and onto  the side of the road. Atlanta is a very expressive community where people can be themselves. There are artistic murals and graffiti around. It makes me feel like I can be true to who I am. Something I would tell someone who is not from Atlanta is to go with the flow and express yourself.  Summary: Today in class, we read Keisha Lance Bottoms' speech, " Go   Home ." We identified the speaker, purpose, audience, context, and exigence. Reflection:  This is important because it is good to know our city's history and the past events that have happened that shape the city into what it is today.

Consider the following statement: "We spend more time connecting online but less time connecting in person." Do you agree or disagree with this antithesis? Explain your perspective using personal experiences. Discuss how technology has influenced the way people communicate and build relationships. In your response, include at least one original example of antithesis.

Prompt Response:  I disagree with this antithesis. In my experience, I spend more time being social and connecting with others during school, extracurriculars, and workplaces. When I get home, I am not on my devices contacting people as much. Technology has influenced the way one communicates and builds relationships by making people more confident due to not being face to face. For example, people with social anxiety may have an easier time texting  someone rather than speaking in person.  Summary: Absent Reflection:  Absent
