I think the assignment we did on our timed writings really helped alot. It fored me to notice what I am strong in and what I am weak in. I have discovered alot about myself as a writer!
My biggest problem is analyzing and explaining. I always find these great quotes and examples, but then I do not know what to do with them. Whenever I do try to explain them, they aren't deep enough and I am only skimming the surface. I also have problems with finding the right words when explaining things. I always know what I'm talking about but I can't find the right word to explain it. It's very frustrating.
My biggest strength is my organizational skills and topic sentence. Keeping my essays structured and in order helps me keep on track and I have found when I really keep organized, I get a better grade. I think making an outline or some sort of question to start from also helps before starting an essay, instead of going into an essay blind.
I am getting more and more anxious about the ap exam. Our whole year has lead up to this one test and it is a lot of pressure! I know we'll make it through though!
