My Mission Statement

"I think, therefore I am" is a very famous quote that explains my reason for wanting to be in AP English. I am in the class to learn in an environment free of the distractions you might find in a regular English class. I'm here to broaden my ideas and ways of thinking, to grow as a writer through the criticisms of my classmates, my teacher, and myself, and to expand my vocabulary. The main goal I would like to achieve in this class is the elimination of "fluff sentences" in my writing. I want to be able to give the moat constructive criticism possible to my classmates that will help them for the AP test and I hope that they do the same for me. Therefore, there are a few guidelines I feel the class should follow to make it the best possible year.

Last year, Ms.Swieck gave us grace periods on most of our assignments and for those of us with sports and other extracurriculars, it was very helpful. I think that this would be one of the most important class standards.


In AP World History, the most helpful aspect of taking the practice essays was the criticism and approval of my classmates for my writing. So I would really enjoy if we could have as much time as possible to share our writing and thoughts with our classmates to get their feedback.


It's frustrating to be in a difficult class and hardly have any face time with the teacher to conference and ask any questions we have about the class or the work. So I would really appreciate if Ms.Fletcher kept us posted on any after school time or lunches she can spare for us. I Already think she's great to provide us with her email address in able to contact her with questions or concerns.

And finally, It's hard to speak up in an AP class when everyone there are the best and the brightest. So it would probably make things a lot easier if we listened to everyone's opinions with open ears and shut mouths. And when we do share our opinion, we should make it in the nicest, most constructive ways possible.
