Sept 8th Working with others can expose you to ideas or perspectives you may not have considered on your own. What is one idea, suggestion, or approach from a group member that improved your paragraph or changed the way you thought about the argument? Explain how it helped you.

 one suggestion I received from a group member was the perspective of how mental disabilities may affect classroom excellence and proficiency which would create a inequality within students. This changed how I though about the argument, Instead of just the though of how intelligence makes us unequal it turned into how disabilities give people opportunities that others do not have. This helped me formulate my argument as it provided the framework to think about my unpopular opinion more critically and write more thoughtfully.

What are three goals that you want to achieve this academic year?

For this academic year my three goals that I hope to achieve are to finish my marching band season strong, be able to do well on all three of my AP tests, specifically AP Bio which I hope to get a five on. Lastly, I hope to do well on my SAT or ACT. These three goals are reasonable and achievable. so far I've done a bit of studying for my SAT. But, I still have a lot of room to grow. Additionally, I've kept up in all of my classes. To tell the truth this marching band season has been night and day to my performance last year. So, overall I'm hopeful that all of these goals for this year will go well; I hope the road through my Junior year will not be as bumpy as the ones I hear about from seniors and graduates.  -Love Always, Bryson

Sept 30th- 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.

One thing I did well on my argumentative essay after seeing my feedback would be my use of relevant evidence throughout my essay, such as the example of my dad and his selfies. Overall, I think my evidence is strong but I could get better at my reasoning and explaining how my evidence connects back to the claim. As with stronger reasoning I'm sure I could get the full 4/4 points on my evidence and potentially the point for sophistication which would create a big difference in my score. So, overall, I think the best idea would be to focus on earning that extra point in my evidence by connecting it back to the claim and using effective reasoning.

August 18th - What is the most creative thing you have ever made? Share what it was and explain why it stands out as your best work.

 The most creative thing that I've made is probably one of my cosplay projects this summer. I made a mask for a character I'm cosplaying through my friends 3-D printer. And I painted the white and red on the mask. Next I had to add the straps to keep it on my face with hot glue. Overall it wasn't hard but the whole cosplay took a lot for work to put together and it stands out to me for that reason.
