Poetry and Prose Pre-Test: Jumping into AP Literature & Composition

Now that you have jumped into the "deep end" of the pool, reflect a little on your performance on the prose and poetry response essays. You can think of these baseline essays as a whole experience or you may separate your experiences. 

Once you have paused to reflect, compose your thoughts in a brief letter to me that illuminates this experience. You can make predictions for the year, but you should not feel that these responses will be reflective of your whole year in AP Literature. I have found that the majority of my students will grow and evolve as thinkers and writers quite a bit from September to May. Tell me how you felt, what areas were your strengths and which need more focus. Tell me about any steps you plan to take to improve (and, believe me, ALL writers can improve!) and how your future writing self will look.

Try to finish by the end of the period, but you may certainly continue at home.

​Please use a name that you select as your nom de plume and be sure to add word count.

Expectations:
​200-250 words
