My goals for this course are primarily to fulfill my graduation requirements as well as gaining college credit. I just finished one assignment so far; and it gave me an idea how the rest of the course shall be like. I believe my difficulties will mostly lie in organization. I always had a problem with that as well as transitions. I believe my strongest ability is my vocabulary and the knowledge I have in various ideologies and historically significant events. So far my grades for the current events and such are ok; I hope I’ll do well in the course; I’m just worried I won’t be able to know most of the material by May 16 which is when the AP test will be. I really want to score high; The University’s I’m applying to, most of them won’t accept anything below a 4. I have to really work hard in order to fix my weaknesses and develop a strong and coherent argument in my essays. The rhetorical vocabulary wasn’t really new; I took English four and some of the terms I already knew; because I was constantly flipping back to the Language Handbook and I would come across words that sounded interesting and memorize them and their meaning. I was looking through the course units; the one unit I really think I’ll have to put a lot of effort in is the Poetry unit. My friend told me the essays won’t be having prompts from fiction; is this true? I hope it isn’t; because I believe with fiction you can have a freer rein in interpreting it; rather than in nonfiction; cause then there is already a significant meaning behind the words and you have to basically be a detective and figure the answer.
