1. Which essay did you feel was the most difficult to write? Why?
For me, I usually have the most trouble with the argumentative essay. I struggle with the concept of a qualifier and the concession paragraph. Making my opinion known as well as touching on the other side of the argument can often leave my essay with a disconnect. However, it mainly rides on the prompt.If I get a prompt that a don't relate with at all, it can be difficult to argue for or against the issue.
2. Which essay did you find the easiest? What made it easy?
I think synthesis essays can be the easiest. Most of the information you need is given to you, and you can manipulate that information to your benefit.A basic structure can get you a high score, and it is very similar to the structure of APUSH essays, which we have also been practicing all year.
3. What novel/book did you enjoy the most? Why?
The Things They carried! I love war stories because I come from a military background. Also, it was a really easy read. The story flowed at a nice pace and I found it hard to put down. It's a book that I want to reread and reanalyze, I feel like I could find something new no matter how many times I read it.
4. What novel/book did you enjoy the least?
Does the Crucible count? I'm not sure, I enjoyed most of the things they read, and I didn't dislike The Crucible, but I wish we could have gone over it more in depth, or read more of it as a class. Many groups got distracted and didn't finish, I felt like we didn't finish strong.
5. Anything you would like for me to know?
I really enjoyed this course, keep doing what you're doing! I hope your juniors next year take advantage of the benefits of this course.I feel like my writing has improved a ton, thank you for that!
