This week was our first full week of school and this week had more learning involved than the first week of school. During the first week of school you don’t learn a whole lot because it usually takes a couple days to go over the syllabus and the things you will be learning in that class. Also, it sometimes will take a couple days to get used to class routines and formalities. By the second week of school students and teachers are back into the routine of getting up early for school and during the second week normal class procedures begin to take place. In AP Lit this week, we learned about analyzing poems and to make your writing your own. This week we learned about a system for analyzing poems called TP-CASTT. This is a system where you go through the poem step by step analyzing different pieces of the poem and it helps you look at the poem in different ways. The poem we looked at is titled The Eagle. The system of analyzing the poem helped me look at the poem in different ways than I usually would. Instead of taking the poem very literal, I looked deeper and thought of the poem as an analogy. It helped me get more out of the poem and see it differently. Another thing I learned was to make your writing your own. Most people have probably heard this idea before, and I have as well, but the way it was explained made it stick with me. Our teacher told us to make your writing your own instead of writing what you think your teacher will want to hear. This makes more sense now that I have heard it explained in this way. If everyone in the class wrote what they thought the teacher wanted to hear, all the writings would be the same.
