Assignment 26- A Reflection on AP Lang- Hayden Caldwell

Personally, I thought Mr. Logsdon’s AP English Language class prepared me very well for this year’s AP exam. We definitely got lucky that the question included was the one we learned early in the year (or maybe Mr. Logsdon just knew) but I felt like I had a year’s worth of experience behind me as I wrote the essay. I felt like the process of reviewing essays fitted my learning style perfectly because I tend to struggle with subjective and vague rubrics sometimes but talking through what worked and what didn’t allowed me to understand my writing more. I also think that the practice prompts during NTI helped me keep my skills strong before the test. Additionally, our ACT reading practice activities allowed me to raise my reading score 3 points this year, so that was definitely very helpful. Personally, the only activities we did that I can’t see the correlation between them and the test are the visual literacy activities. Understandably, the class is about a greater knowledge of English and not just a test, but to me visual literacy felt like only something else on my plate rather than valuable practice.
