Assignment 26: Charlotte Kessinger

When I took the AP test, I felt more confident afterwards than I thought i would be. Writing and english has never been my thing but this year I feel like i improved myself and my confidence. What really helped me was getting to read everybody's essays. It is extremely helpful to see other perspectives, mistakes, successes and styles and take them into consideration next time when writing. However sometimes, 5 days of reading essays gets boring so maybe switching it up to small groups would be more interesting because it allows for deeper and longer conversation. I also think I felt more prepared for the writing than the multiple choice. Maybe we could do a passage with a few questions at the beginning of the class once a week just to become more familiar with the questions as opposed to a whole multiple choice test at once. I feel like preparing for the AP test simultaneously  helped me prepare for the reading section of the ACT because the question types are similar but if we could do more prep in the english section for the ACT that could help such as go over common grammar mistakes. I really feel like you prepared us well for the ACT test and overall my overall general writing skills especially giving me the chance to have my writing critiqued by more than one person giving me different perspectives and opinions.
