End of the Year Reflection

This year has undoubtedly been the hardest year of high school yet, but it also has been my favorite. For the most part, I had incredible teachers that all helped me grow as a student and move one step closer to college and the real world. APLAC was extremely beneficial in that it helped prepare me for next year and for the rest of my life. I learned essential writing skills and many important messages and skills from my teacher's anecdotes. In this course, I found the rhetorical analysis essay to be the most difficult to write because I felt like I needed more practice identifying and learning rhetorical devices. The easiest essay for me was the synthesis essay. I found it easy because we are provided with all the information we need and I was taught how to synthesize information effectively and well. The book I enjoyed most was The Things They Carried because it was an interesting and easy read and it kept me engaged. The book I enjoyed the least was In Cold Blood because it didn't keep me interested and it was slow moving. I want you to know that you have been the best English teacher I have ever had by far and I want to thank you for everything!
