A Conversation with Yourself

Dear 11 AP Allies,



Welcome to 11 AP Language and Composition! I am looking forward to an amazing year filled with growth and insights. I am here to help you in this year's college composition course. I am also here to challenge you, though; learning inevitably involves feeling vulnerable, learning to do what you cannot do or do well. Trust me- and yourself- to help you through that confusion to the next level of your learning. 

This is a year-long conversation with yourself about yourself, a conversation that cannot be rushed. Even though you may be feeling overwhelmed, just like the baby in the video, when you start to listen and share your thinking, the world can be seen for the first time over and over again. Let's have a great year. I'm ready and eager to get to know and work with you, as well as to learn from and with you. 






Here is the calendar for September and before you want to do this: 
Just remember that progress comes one day at a time and everyone in the room is here to help you. Your classmates will be your biggest asset. They are your think tank, your team, and your inspiration.
