OK Mr. Kunklek, here is where I redeem myself for all those mean things I said about AP Comp during the class.
This quarter, AP Composition was actually one of my favorite classes (a close second to Human Anatomy). I felt so relaxed in the class, there wasn't a huge Physics packet due the next day, I didn't have 80 problems of derivations and definite integrals to do. I'm really glad I had it fourth block as well, it gave me a break from all the classes I had to be insanely concentrated for...in AP Comp I didn't have to be so stressed out, I could just read and then discuss my feelings in the class.
Although somethings were more tough than others (reading Playing in the Dark) I really appreciated this class, my writing definitely has improved and I will apprectiate reading Toni Morrison's book if I am assigned it in college.
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing in the whole year of AP Comp was the FIELD TRIP!!! I loved being able to sit in one of the classes, to see how things are really taught at a college level. I was interested in how little people pay attention, how students can just walk in and out, and how the teachers don't care if you're there or not. I was especially important to me because i'm going to Madison in the Fall! GO BADGERS :) The MMoCA was really interesting, too. I loved looking at the pictures and talking to KFrisch about them :) many struck my interest and I'm sure i'll go back to look at other exhibits.
So. Thanks Mr. Kunkle, it's been swell :)

I was actually very surprised to read this. I never would've guessed that you, of all people, would say you truly enjoyed this class. However, I guess if you are taking AP Physics and AP Calc and the same time, it would be a welcome break. Now that I think about it, maybe that's why I liked it so much during 1st quarter, because of AP Chem... Hmmm. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa, for the positive feedback. The field trip was indeed a high point, and I found your frequent written attacks on AP Comp to be entertaining. Good luck with all that awaits!
