She doesn't have time to thoroughly read essays, let alone assignments. Save your time on the busy-work she assigns by writing whatever, and then study independently (use online resources, join AP communities, etc. ) to do well on the AP Exam. I've struggled to score well on her essays, despite and meeting with her frequently during office hours. I guess I'd recommend that you prioritize quantity over quality in your essays, a. k. a. more evidence on the paper vs. specific phrasing or flow of argument. For reference: I'm a student that typically likes English and usually scores very well in their English classes. I received a 5 on the AP Lang Exam. I got a B- in Shunkey's class.

Really nice person. But she wasn't the English teacher for me. Because of the way she grades assignments and weighs her class, it's more beneficial for you to not think too much and write something random for her assignments. She doesn't go over many of the terms we must be familiar with for the AP exams. It's only included in the summer work. I'd highly recommend asking your counselor to switch to another teacher if you don't like a lot of little assignments.
