Absent

Today we read and analyzed poems written by Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes. The poems we read were not difficult. We analyzed them as a class so I got a better understanding of what the speaker was trying to convey. Although it got a little boring I stayed up and participated in class. Those poems were very moving. They inspired me to keep pushing through the good and the bad days. I enjoyed the lesson today in class hopefully I’ll enjoy it tmr as well.

Today we composed the second part of our essay. We composed the second paragraph. Composing the paragraph wasn’t hard. I just used the checklist that my teacher taught me. After we got done we turned it in. After grading other students papers from other schools we graded our peers. Grading the papers of my classmates really brings onsite to their thoughts and process of writing. Someone graded my paper as a four out of nine. I felt that I couldn’t did better with my commentary and diction. All in all today was a productive day in class.

I really enjoyed class today. We read poems written by Mya Angelou. Her poems are really inspiring me to take advantage and embrace my black culture even more than I do now. I’m starting to love analyzing and reading poems everyday. We had great discussions as a class today. I lived how everyone was participating. I had fun today in class and I am looking forward to tomorrow’s lesson and activities.

Today we took a multiple choice quiz. I did well on it I felt as if it wasn’t difficult. After we took it and went over the correct answers in class it opened my eyes up a little more about process of elimination. I used process of elimination and it helped a lot. After we took a quiz we read a poem. The poem wasn’t hard but it was some lines I didn’t understand. As we analyzed it I understood it more. All in all I’m was a productive day in AP literature.

Today was a good day in AP literature. My teacher was back from his trip with his wife. Today we talked about how songs are important. Also how songs set the mood for certain situations of ones life.  We wrote down ten songs that are meaningful to us. My first song was Maxwell-A woman’s work. I chose that song because everytime I hear it I think about my favorite movie Love and Basketball. I really enjoyed what we did today. We also read a poem and analyzed it. It was a good poem not difficult to understand. All in all I had a great day in class.
