The first day of AP Lit began with a field trip outside to talk about memories we didn’t want to forget. After that, we went back inside and shared one of our memories with the class. I really enjoyed this activity because it got everyone to actively participate in class and it was interesting to hear the stories the others chose to share. Over the course of the next few days we began working on our AP Lit weebly sites on the classroom chromebooks. This is another aspect of the class that I enjoy. Not having to go to the computer lab every time we need to have access to a computer is both efficient and very helpful. I like having most of the class resources accessible online so that I can work easily on my work both at home and at school. Mr. Schoenborn went over the syllabus in class as well. He pointed out that you have the ability to redo any assignment as many times as you want until you are happy with the grade that your receive. This is very different than any previous class I have had, but I am happy to have the option to fix my mistakes and I like how hard work is rewarded. It gives me the opportunity to focus on learning instead of getting a good grade. One thing that I am a little apprehensive about is the SSR requirements for each marking period. While I am excited to read interesting books and analyze them in a scholarly way, I am not the fastest reader in the world and I am a little worried about reading my SSR book as well as the required reading I have for my other classes. To better prepare myself for this class, I found a website to give me some tips to succeed in AP Literature. All in all, I like how the class is structured and I am excited for the upcoming year. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/Rye_catcher.jpg
