In week 8 of A.P. Literature, we concluded our Unit One: What is Literature? projects. Reflecting back before the project began, my understanding of just what elements of fantasy and humor add to a story was not what I expected. I learned more about each unique effect specific to the element of fiction, which helped me understand just why we use these elements, in general. The presentation portion was challenging, but with so much experience under our belts giving presentations, the nervousness and unsteadiness was not prominent. I have learned that maintaining composure is one of the most important aspects of giving a presentation, talking cool and relaxed, and really hit on what you want to say. All of those things have to happen after lots of research and an understanding of your argument, of course. Moving forward, this project introduced the 'so, what?' idea, that I can apply to all things in the future. Using that idea helps the audience understand just what the heck you're talking about. The next unit, dealing with tragedy, might get difficult because tragedy is not a topic we have thoroughly talked about in previous english classes. This year so far, I have opened up to group work more so than in previous years, I think when you have a challenging class like A.P. Literature, it is beneficial to take in and ponder other group members' opinions. That is another area that might be tough in the next unit, working individually, but then again, taking a look at other people's ideas is never a bad thing to do.
