Some students look at a rubric only after receiving their grade, while others use it as a guide while completing the assignment. Which approach do you usually take? After reviewing the AP Lang Argument Essay rubric today, explain how you could use the rubric as a roadmap to improve your argument writing.

 Prompt: I always look over the rubric before an assignment so I know what I need to do to complete the assignment properly. After looking at the AP Lang argumentative essay I can use it as a roadmap to know exactly what I need to do to get all requirements to get the maximum amount of points. If there is a certain part of the essay where I am struggling, I can use the rubric and it will clear up any confusion or questions. Knowing the rubric will make sure that I get all the points I can and guarantee I pass the AP test.

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt: One thing that makes me different from other people is my empathy. I am a very empathetic person, and I always make sure I'm looking out for others. I tend to feel bad for people if they are going through something on a deeper level and try to connect with them to make sure they know that I'm here for them. I make sure to think before I speak to take account of if my words will hurt others, even if I don't mean it in a bad way. I think empathy is a harder trait to find in people nowadays, so I try and make sure that I remain an empathetic person because it's important to me. My friends have told me that one of their favorite things about me is how empathetic I am, and that means a lot to me. Summary: Today in class we analyzed video clips for rhetorical situations and we took a quiz. Reflection: Analyzing the video clips will help me better understand rhetorical situations. It will also help me with being able to identify these situations in a text.

Think of a time when you tried to persuade someone to agree with you, change their mind, or do something you wanted. What were you trying to persuade them to do or believe? How did you use ethos, pathos, or logos to persuade them? Which appeal was most effective and why?

 Prompt: I persuaded my parents to go to Seaside for Spring Break. My parents didn't want to go because it was going to be super crowded and busy, but I was able to persuade them. I used Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to persuade them and I told them how most of my friends were going and that it would be super fun. We had already been before so I used that to convince them that I was already aware of how to get to places and how to be safe while doing so. Pathos was the most effective because my parents wanted me to have fun and they felt like it was important for me to be with my friends. It ended up being a very fun trip and I'm glad I was able to convince my parents to take our family there. Summary: Today in class we presented our Origin of Our Name assignment.

How has living in or around Atlanta influenced the way you see your community, culture, or identity? If you were speaking to someone unfamiliar with Atlanta, what would you want them to understand about your community?
