After reviewing the feedback on your argument essay, identify one thing you did well and one area you need to improve. Explain what you will do differently the next time you write an AP Lang argument essay.

Prompt: After reviewing the feedback on your argument essay, identify one thing you did well and one area you need to improve. Explain what you will do differently the next time you write an AP Lang argument essay.
Prompt Response: One thing I did well was use strong personal evidence. One area I need to improve is sophistication. I could earn the sophistication point by including the implications or limitations of my argument. I could do this by providing the counterclaim of potential opponents and then addressing it. Next time I write an AP Lang argument essay I will spend some time making a specific plan to earn the sophistication point.
Summary: Today in class we went over our AP Lang argument essay scores and started writing our own poems.
Reflection: Simply spitting words out onto a piece of paper to make a poem is easy, but making a good poem will take a lot of time and be much more difficult.

If you were speaking to someone unfamiliar with Atlanta, what would you want them to understand about your community? Prompt Response: Living in Atlanta has influenced the way I see my community by giving me many different perspectives. Within a 10 minute drive of my house I can see very rich neighborhoods littered with mansions or poor tenement housing. The area I live in is also very diverse ethnically. Being surrounded by very different people and hearing their opinions everyday, lets me see topics from multiple different viewpoints. If I was speaking to someone unfamiliar with Atlanta, I would want them to know we live in a place full of contingencies and it is hard to come across one singular correct answer for a question regarding Atlanta.
