I have genuinely enjoyed AP English this year. I have seen notable improvement in my writing and I contribute that to the constant writing we do in class. Yet, I struggled early in the year because of my lack of knowledge of rhetorical devices. I had trouble locating and analyzing rhetorical devices in the numerous essays we examined in class. Therefore, it would be beneficial if you went over each specific rhetorical device that could be found in an AP essay and explain its effect.
However, I did appreciate the ACT English practice we did in the second semester and believe it could be expanded. The ACT practice could start earlier in the second semester which may help improve the student's scores a little more.
I would have liked to work in smaller groups a couple of more times to grade the essays. Personally I thought the medium-sized groups provided the most effective feedback for my essays. In the classroom discussions, I was not able to defend the decisions I made when I wrote my essays yet I was able to defend myself in the medium sized groups because it was a more intimate atmosphere.
