Week 3: Teamwork

We work a lot into in our summer reading groups trying to put our essay together. I think my group has come a long way and we have most of it complete. All that needs to happen now to finish it up now is that it needs to be put into sentence and paragraph form. We have almost all the detail and thoughts written down into google document. We did a lot of group discussion to prepare us to start writing our essay. 

We did a lot with the poem cross. We look at it and separate it into it parts. We did a lot of group discussion to help us think of ideas and see the poem from a different perspective. We work a lot in groups this week. It help us to see things through another person perspective and come up with new ideas.We will start practice writing the poem essay soon where we need to take it and split it up into it parts and write about its different part of it. I'm learning how to work well with other and sharing ideas to create my own idea

Week 2:Exchange of Ideas

This week we started off with some poem analyzing. We looked at the eagle where we took a part the different pieces of a poem. We all had different views on the poem and all came up with different meaning with our group. It was very interesting to be able sit down and listening to other thoughts about the same piece of work and get different things from it. Then those idea help us put piece together with our ideas floating around in our head and come up with brand new ideas of what the poem could mean. I think poetry only means what the reader put to it not what the writer writes it about. We as the consumer of the poetry put our ideas into it. We splitted up into our summer reading groups and bounced around ideas of the books. We work as a group to start the thinking process of our essay. We exchange ideas of what parts of the book could mean and that help us to start think my critical of the works.

This week we were introduce to the class. It our first time being inside of AP Literature. Each individual in the class was introduced to by the teacher shaking our hand and saying Hello I'm Andy I will be your teacher. We were first heard Mr.Schoenborn teaching methods. He spoke of his ideas that there are better ways to shows what we learn other then through numbers from test and quizzes. He believes that almost every assignment should be able to redo instead of just moving on going to the next assignment. This is because every assignment is testing new things. so you can't use your mistakes from last assignment to do better on the next. We watched a video of a college graduation speech.that gave evidence in life that talk about stuff of never giving up and sometimes you need to stand up against negative people. The class learn and create a weebly website that we will be using for the class. This classroom feels like it will be a nice productive learning class to be in. I am ready to learn in this class as much as possible.
