Think about a time when you completed an assignment without fully understanding what the teacher was looking for. How might knowing the “ins and outs” of a rubric change the way you approach an assignment?

 Prompt Response: During the school year, there are always times where I may pay attention but don't fully comprehend what the teacher wants me to do. This school year it's physics that i'm always confused on how to complete a lab or worksheet, however I still complete the work to my best ability by constantly asking questions. Knowing the ins and outs of a rubric helps the student have an idea of what they're supposed to do to complete the assignment to it's fullest extent to get the highest grade they can get. In class today during AP Lang, we went over the rubric to understand the expectations for the argumentative essay. Going over the rubric helped me understand how the assignment is supposed to be completed. This could help me fully understand the instructions for an assignment in other classes, like Physics. 

Summary: In class today we went over the rubric for the argumentative essay.

Reflection: I learned the expectations for the essay. I also learned to fully read and understand the rubric.

September 11th changed American aspects, think of a major event that has happened during your lifetime?

 Prompt Response: During 2019, I was in 4th grade. I've heard about COVID-19 but it didn't affect me because It wasn't in the US yet. But when it did come to the US in 2020, I was just happy that I didn't have school. During the lock down, I was living my life inside the house with my cousins and acted like nothing was really happening. Around this time, TikTok was a popular app, and it still is, but it had a major impact on students around that time just based on not being able to do anything but watch our phones. When 5th grade started, I was 2 weeks behind because I didn't know when the Google meets started. I also didn't know much about how to work the computer because we always did paper work. In the beginning, I was very engaged, but as the year went on, I stopped paying attention in class. I would never join, but somehow I was still passed on to the next year. COVID-19 still has an effect on me now because before 2020, I was outside all the time during th...

Which part of building an argument is most challenging for you, and why?

 Prompt Response: When i'm writing an argumentative essay, i'm always confused about what to say in my conclusion. I've been told that the conclusion is a restatement of my claim, and I don't know if that's true, but I struggle with how to put the sentences together. I may be making it seem more difficult than it is, but I haven't seen much demonstrations often. That could also be a reason why my mind goes blank while writing a conclusion. In my opinion, I look at the conclusion as ending a story, which shouldn't be hard. However, I make it harder than what it should be. Personally, I need more practice with essays and that's totally fine. There's always room for improvement, especially in high school.  Summary: Absent Reflection:Absent

Talk about a time when you had to write a poem, whether it was for an assignment, event, or special occasion. What was the writing process like for you, and were you proud of the finished product?

 Prompt Response: In my 10th grade literature class, I wrote a poem. My teacher had us read a poem about a non-living object's perspective in a human's daily life. As a result of that poem, she had us write about a object we use everyday but from it's perspective. I wrote a poem about lip gloss. The writing process of the poem was very creative considering I feel like I need to take lip gloss with me everywhere. I wrote about the shape, the use of it, and how once it runs out I replace it. I was satisfied with my finished product, and my teacher loved the object choice I used. She also told us to make the paper colorful with pictures so I wrote the lip gloss I was using at the time, which was the elf lip oil, and flowers. I was thinking about this poem once we started talking about poems in AP Lang, but unfortunately i'm sure I threw it away right before the new school year.  Summary: In class today we read a poem about risk and watched a video of someone taking a risk....
