It wasn’t really until the second or third day of class that I realized how serious AP Lit is going to be. Of course, there will probably be fun days and I will try to enjoy the time I spend in the classroom, but there are also high expectations and a sense of maturity Mr. Schoenborn sets in the classroom. The expectations Mr. Schoenborn sets are extremely reasonable though, because we came up with our own goals on Friday with a quick ten minute read and then some multiplication to see how many pages we would need to meet our goal each week.
I was also asked to write about myself as a writer and a reader this past week. It really made me think about how I prefer to do my work at home. Yes, I am a normal teen who doesn’t like homework, but I just find it easier to buckle down and focus on an essay when I don’t feel like I have someone looking over my shoulder at my computer screen. Writing the Me as a Reader piece has made me realize how big of a picky reader I am. I generally stick to either romance novels or satire, or even books by the same like, two authors. One of the things I enjoy about Schoenborn’s class is that I have to be actively listening and participating to learn in the class. It has been a whole four days and we have yet to take any notes, which I think is pretty cool. I don’t learn as much from notes as I do from listening and communicating with classmates and using a laptop like we often do in class. I am looking forward to expanding my book horizon, and growing more as a reader, writer, and laptop user.
