Which learning method do you enjoy the most? Class discussions, worksheet work, or hands-on activities. Select one and tell why.

Prompt Response: The learning method that I enjoy the most is class discussions and worksheet work. I learn best when we talk and learn as a class. Class discussions help me to stay focused and involved in the lesson. Then, when we practice it on a worksheet, that's how I get it engraved in my brain. I love practicing what we just learned about, so I can make sure I understand it, and if I don't, I can ask questions. I not only enjoy this method, but it also helps me learn best. 

Summary: Today in class, we annotated and looked at another AP Exam Argumentative Essay prompt. Not only did we look at it, but we also made claims based on our position on the prompt and provided evidence to support it. 

Reflection: I really enjoyed what we did in class today. I found the prompt to be a bit difficult, but once we annotated it, I understood it better. I liked what we did because I'm starting to understand how to make really great, relevant claims and find evidence. This makes me feel more confident.

Describe something you will never fully understand.

Prompt Response: Something that I will never understand is boys. The past two years, I have dated a boy and through that, I have learned so many different things about the way that boys think and act. No boy is the same, but I have realized that the way boys and girls think is so alike, yet also so different. My ex and I just recently broke up, and I will never fully understand his thought process or his actions, no matter how much I think about everything.  Summary: Today in class, we looked at a previous AP Exam argumentative essay response prompt and created claims that would answer the prompt.  Reflection: I really enjoyed what we worked on in class today. It was definitely challenging and nothing like I've ever done before, but it provided me with a new way to think about questions and prompts. I learned how to make claims about value and community, which I really enjoyed.

Write about something that you believed as a child.

Prompt Response: When I was younger, I believed that you could walk on clouds. I would lie down on my black trampoline in the backyard of my old house and stare up at the sky. I remember looking up and seeing huge white fluffy clouds in a variety of different shapes. I used to dream of jumping and walking on them. This dream was cut short early when I went to the Appalachian Mountains and my parents said, "Look, Rylan! We're driving through clouds." I remember being heartbroken because they looked so fun to walk on. Summary: Today in class, we learned about the different types of claims and what a claim is. We talked and learned about Claims of Fact, Claims of Value, and Claims of Policy.  Reflection: Learning more in depth about the three different types of claims today, makes me feel more confident about claims. I feel better about writing and decipher different types of claims.

As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

Prompt Response: As I grow older and face new experiences I think I will have to stand up most often for my learning disabilities. Throughout school this has been a challenging topic because lots of friends, teachers and administrators don't want to nor try to understand how severely dyslexic I am. Throughout the past two years in high school many of my teachers fail to let me use my 504 plan accordingly and the administrators have messed up AP testing due to not submitting my 504 requirements to college board in time. Due to the struggles I have faced in school and my friends making fun of me for not being able to spell simple words I believe for the rest of my life I will have to stand up for myself to bosses, friends and college professors to explain that I was born with these learning disabilities and I am trying my very best everyday to overcome them.  Summary: Today in class, we learned and looked at PowerPoint about Arguments.  Reflection: I loved learning about th...
