Oh man, AP english. It's gonna take some work to get through the year, but it's definitely possible. You're gonna run into a couple assignments you haven't seen before. First are the TOWs (standing for text of the week), which happen every week. You must post one 300 word rhetorical analysis by sunday night at ten. You get to pick an essay or other text to analyze, so pick stuff that interests you to analyze, because if you don't, it's not gonna be fun. TOWs aren't that bad once you get used to them, so get used to them.
Next are the timed essays. They're rough. You get a solid forty minutes to read a text or prompt and then write an essay about it. It requires you to work fast, and think fast, and takes a lot of getting used to. However, you get plenty of opportunities to practice them, so by the end of the year, timed essays aren't really too bad. lol jk.
When you think APELC gets bad, just remember - you could have ebola. In all seriousness, the course isn't that hard if you put in the time and effort that Mr. Yost and Ms. Pronko ask of you. You've got this. Welcome to APELC.
