I entered the first week of AP Lit uncertain. I was worried that it would be just like every other English class I've ever had, with major limits on creativity and expression, but I was honestly just not sure of what to expect. It is because of this, during our first class, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there would not be the normal creative shackles that had encumbered me in my previous English classes.
Throughout the week, we mainly discussed what we would be doing for the rest of the year. We set up our Weebly accounts and we wrote a small biography of ourselves as readers and writers. I found this to be fun, as it was a way for me to go into detail of how I reached this point in reading and writing life, which is a chance I rarely get. After that, we were given a list of books that, at first glance, looks very daunting. The books and their authors were not the typical high school books. They were the real deal. However, I am quite looking forward to diving into them. My favorite part of AP Lit so far, however, was our chance to simply write for a few minutes. There were no restrictions or limits on what we could write about; we could simply put any and every thought we had onto paper. That has always been my favorite part of writing; the chance to express myself in any way I please. I believe that creative writing is an extremely important part of writing, and I am glad that I have a class that will allow me to write creatively. I also found a website that I think will prove useful in the future for creative writing in AP Lit: https://www.writingforward.com/category/creative-writing Overall, I had a great time in my first week of AP Lit, and I look forward to the many weeks to come!
