A Constitutional Reason Of Success In The Classroom

With the guidance of Mrs. Smythe, my peers, and my parents, as well as my own determination, I have gained much better control over the English language. However, I also learned something about myself as a person throughout my time in English 9/10. I used to let fear control me in English, which would translate to other parts of my life. Throughout my seventh and eighth grade years of Middle School, I would sit in silence for entire class periods, afraid to begin my essays, afraid to have to accept that it may not be as good as my other school work, afraid of what others would think. However, I learned this year that people like my mother and grandmother were not disappointed in my work but instead would suggest ways by which I could improve my writing. Additionally Mrs. Smythe constantly helped through the feedback she provided. Even when I received my first essay back, one that was clearly not to the best of my ability, she gave balanced feedback between ways to improve my writing while also providing supporting for future assignments. “It is not necessary to convert an entire scene, just the moments that are important. The inclusion of text in the last body paragraph is most appropriate, although there is still a bit too much of it. Good effort...” Even if I forget who said what in Romeo and Juliet, or the name of the main character in The Book of Lost Things,

As I look back on my English 101 experience, I have come to the conclusion that I have learned many new things that have improved my abilities as a writer. I have learned some new techniques that have improved my ways of approaching an essay. I learned all about the rhetorical appeals and how to apply them in my writing and how to look for them in a essay written by a author. I have also learned how to argue both sides of a argument, and how to look for reliable sources and to properly quote and site the author of the essay. I feel as if I have become a better writer and my improved writing skills are shown within each essay.

The beginning of my junior year seems like it was such a long time ago. This may be because of how much I have grown since the start of the year. When I began AP English, my writing skills needed improvement. For instance, I often used incorrect grammar and struggled with staying on topic. In just one semester, my writing has improved immensely. The more than I write, the more I learn about how to craft a good paper. I have worked on improving my grammar, using rhetoric, addressing my subject, and many more elements of writing. In addition to improving my writing, I have gained many skills to become a better student. I have learned about effective study techniques and time-management skills that allow me to be the most successful. Since I always try my best, I know that over time I will continue to grow in my studies. This year I have gained countless skills that will help me succeed in English in the future.

I took advanced English classes in high school so I did not think college should be any different. I have the desire to take on all the challenges English 10 has to offer. My writing process seems long, but I find it to be quite effective. I tend to take a while to fix my first draft and I despise waiting to write a paper the last minute. I would rather take my time and turn in a paper that I know I tried my best on than turn in writing that is sloppy because I rushed to write it. I love the feeling of knowing that my writing is at it’s fullest potential. My writing process takes some time due to the grammar, format and structure checks. I typically enjoy writing however, it depends on what the topic is and how motivated I am at the time. The majority of my past writing experiences have been beneficial. I do not recall any distressing experiences. My most influential experiences were in my Senior year because I had an astounding English teacher that taught me an abount amount of writing skills. That teacher is the reason why I am comfortable with my writing to an

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I have some strengths and weaknesses in the class, and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.

English has never been my favorite subject in school. My family has always considered me to be talkative and very social. Therefore, it left all of us, including my teacher, quite in the dark when trying to figure out why I was doing poorly in my fifth grade English class. My teacher’s name was Ms. Johnson, and she was a very high spirited woman. She would always encourage me to simply express myself in my writing.

Yes, I agree that if I take my classroom as an example.I think the size of my classroom is regulated by the Constitution because it is according to the number of students the teacher can give classes. For this reason, I believe that there are rules in the Constitution that speak of that since if there are more students than the teacher can teach, other students will not hear anything and they will not pay attention, and as a result of the situation, they will not learn anything at all. I also think that each country has its rules of study and therefore each state is regulated with a different educational system. I mean that with this there are different skills and methods of teaching and learning according to the adaptation of each

My writing skills which I have worked on over the few months I have been in English 102 have changed quite a bit in my opinion. There are many things which I have improved upon that were amongst my weaker writing skills when the year began. On the opposite side of that point, there are also many things which I still need to improve upon if I want to truly elevate my writing to a level that I will be confident in. Finally, I have gained new skills outside of writing from this class, particularly the activities which we did in class at various points throughout the year. These things all cumulate together to give me an appreciation of English courses which I did not previously have.

Thousands of years ago, the great King Solomon, of Israel, once wrote, “Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”(King James Version, Proverbs. 24.3-4). I have grown in many ways throughout my school career, especially in the subject of Literature/English. Throughout this time period, I have received many accolades and achieved many goals, relating to my writing of essays. These achievements include all As through middle school, all As through the academy, and a perfect score on the English section of the CRCT. I was able to achieve my goals throughout my writing experience because of my increased vocabulary, my avid appetite

              What I enjoy about English is that the novels and short stories studies. There are some things that bother me about in the past are: I was not able to reach the goal (overall percentage mark) in ELA last year. I do not relate with people that much because they are more knowledgeable in English Language than I do. I get intimidated easily and my essay writing is not up to the advanced placement standard. I read books for pleasure, reading books is one of my favorite spare time activities. I do not consider myself a writer anymore because I always find it hard to start a paragraph or essay or anything and I lost interest. When I was little, I wrote lots of short stories to the extent of writng a short story book. Most of the stories written were based on the childhood movies I watched e.g. Barbie movie, tom and jerry. Unfortunately for me, the story book was not edited neither was it published. This is because I had no

Registering for an English 1101 class, I would never have thought my writing was remotely exceptional. On the first day of class, we had to write these diagnostic essay (I wrote about picking my major) to see where we were at in our writings. The day I received the essay back was the moment where I truly considered the being a writer. Besides my grammar and spelling errors my teacher, Mrs. Emma Perry, wrote “very powerful and emotionally descriptive writing - are you sure you don’t want to be an English Major?!” I have never really considered it before but I’ve always had a guilty pleasure for becoming a blogger, news anchor (my inspiration came from Nancy Grace and Robin Meade), and even one day writing my own memoir. I could remember when I was younger being so shy to speak up that in my mind I would imagine acting out interviews and seminars. It wasn’t until that moment where I truly considered becoming an English major. From henceforth, I began reading the Red and Black newspaper, writing with great passion in every essay and improving my communications methods. Realizing this new passion for writing and being in my detached

My experience with English has changed drastically from middle school to college. Being in middle school I have really had to do much of a big paper, but as I progressed through college I’ve realized there much more that has to be added. I had always wondered why middle school was so easy but as years went on, I realized that advancing to college there’s a lot more requirements and importance to writing. In middle school, I was young and just starting to really realize what an essay was and after high school I really understood what an essay consists of. No matter how

Education as defined by Merriam-Webster is a field of study that deals with the methods and problems of teaching and the action or process of teaching someone the knowledge, skill, and understanding especially in a school, college, or university (Merriam-Webster, 2015). Does gaining that knowledge, skill, and understanding translate into a U.S. Constitutional right of education? Nowhere in the Constitution does it state that education is a right (Constitution of the United States, 2015). However, every country that outperforms the U.S. has a constitutional or statutory commitment to this right. The U.S. scores below average in math and ranks 17th in the world, while it ranks 21st in science and 17th in reading (The Atlantic, 2013). Do Americans deserve an education with the guarantee of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness?

Ever since elementary school, I never enjoyed English. I’ve always had a hard time with reading comprehension. I never knew what to write about when I was asked to write a paper. I grew to dislike English even more throughout the years. Once I got into high school, I thought I was going to actually like English. I also thought the teachers were going to be different than the teachers I had before. I was definitely wrong.

When I first started college I did not know what to expect with an English class. I liked writing about topics that interested me, but high school did not allow me to do that. I took American History and we would have to write
