Algebra 1: Class Analysis

“A Question of Class” focuses on Dorothy Allison’s struggle of identifying herself as a poverty stricken individual, and breaking free from her predetermined destiny while simultaneously accepting her past. Allison understands the prejudice that comes with being poor with the statement, “I have learned with great difficulty that the vast majority of people pretend that poverty is a voluntary condition, that the poor are…less than fully human…” The quote fundamentally means that society does not view the poor as their equivalents to the world, and one chooses to live in such conditions. Although the remark was made in the 1950’s, it still rings true in the societal ideology of present time. Changes have not been

I learned a lot from that experience, especially to appreciate my family. My parents for taking care of me, and my brother for taking time to play Barbies with me. I believe that my strength as a learner is comprehension, because I can normally understand most concepts very well. However, my weakness is paying attention, because I get distracted very easily. I’m normally distracted when reading all the posters that teachers put around the classroom, or when I’m looking through my planner. If the environment is quiet then I focus better, whether I need to pay attention to a test, teacher, or announcement. I do enjoy learning when the teacher is equally or more enthusiastic than

The class, Libro 1105 by far is truly an eye opener and is extremely enjoyable. This week’s lesson was very interesting and I liked everything about it. I never knew how librarians put so much thought and care into their work. I never knew how organized and efficient libraries really were; I am use to going to the library and just walking around to find what I needed, not knowing there was a classification system to easily find materials in the public library. The classification system for public libraries are organized by a Dewey Decimal Number System, colleges and universities are organized by a Library of Congress System, government documents are organized by a U.S Superintendent of Department System, and lastly The National Library

I do not agree to place my emotional fragile daughter in a larger class as she was having a large amount of difficulty handling the 8:3 class she was already in; she is having regular meltdowns whereas she has never even had one before starting school. Alexia was evaluated by multiple specialists who all agreed that an appropriate setting for her was no more than an 8:3 class. None of her doctor evaluations and reports is outdated as they are all less than a year old, with the most current one’s being in March of 2015. Although you have stated that no one in the school ever saw her have a meltdown; before starting school her doctors were aware that she had never had a meltdown nor threw a tantrum and even so still recommended a class no larger

A Class Divided, written by William Peterson in 1987, exposed racial behavior in young Caucasian classmates, who were victims of indoctrination by general cultural ideals of White Supremacy. These ideologies that were used as psychological tactics to destruct and intimidate other ethnic groups that weren’t of European descent in the United States. Ideologies such as su-periority and inferiority concepts have been convinced throughout centuries of civilization. Ma-jority of people are highly in favor of Americanization from fear of oppression, inferiority and difference. The way Americans interact with other people, and how people are portrayed within different ethnic groups have always been a national controversy. It has become a social construct

In the beginning of the film A Class Divided, Jane Elliott asked the children in her class if there were people in the U.S. that are not typically treated like our brothers. The children were quick to respond that Blacks and Indians are not treated as brothers and are referred to as stupid, dumb or niggers. I was a little shocked by this as the 1970’s do not seem to have been all that long ago. If a Caucasian child were to use the “N” word in a classroom today, they would most likely face detention or suspension. I was also surprised that even though the kids knew the division of blue eyed and brown eyed kids was an experiment, they seemed to immediately believe the hurtful things the teacher was saying about the brown eyed kids. When I saw

If I could plan ahead on what I want to achieve, I would like to improve on organization skills. To attain this, I would keep folders in every subject, and set reminders on future assignments. By being organized, it would relieve stress, because I would know when to study for something prior to the exam. Moreover, I hope to achieve on maintaining a good work ethic, meaning less procrastination and being focused during class and home. Some subjects I hope to enhance on are Math and English. This year, I selected a class "Algebra 2 Competition" which I aspire to improve on math, visually especially. Although it'll be a challenge, My goal is to gain an understanding of it. In English, I want to improve my vocabulary vastly, my grammar, and work

I feel like a good majority of the classes I have taken have helped me grow a lot as a person.

From the very beginning of my academic career, I have always relied on math classes as a support system for understanding anything around me, but it was not until I went high school that I realized how much I love math and it's never changing principles. During freshman year, I took Honors Algebra 1, which was considered the standard class for 9th grade honors students entering my high school, yet when I sat down in the classroom, I felt like I didn't belong there. Even though my class was accelerated compared to the regular algebra classes, my desire to go ahead of my classmates only became stronger and my motivation for my educational drive increased, like a positive slope to a linear equation. When the school year ended and I was selected

One of the classes I think I've grown in is Cultural Geography because I am paying more attention and I did very good on the final. Another class I think I've grown in is English because I pay more attention and I understand the work better. The Habit of Heart and Mind I think I've improved most on is putting more effort in my work and thinking more outside of the box. I have gotten better at the habit of responsibility by finishing everything on time and trying my very best, effort continues to be a struggle for me because when I don't get something I don't put much effort because I give up easily. I am most proud that I have been trying my best because usually I just give up and try not to accomplish what I want. If I could go back and do something differently I would stay focus since the beginning and not slip because right now my grades are

One problem that has transpired during my life is the aspect of course comprehension. This has greatly impacted my education. By not being able to comprehend the material taught in school, my grades will drop and I will not be properly equipped for my career. I had this problem in my earlier years of high school and knew that this was something that I would have to resolve before attending college. By being at a school where career minded subjects are taught, I knew it was quintessential to be able to fully comprehend the material taught in class. If I would be able to grasp the concepts taught, then I would be able to go into my career with confidence.

Never actually remembering what I was taught, a large deal of my junior high was spent memorizing facts for the test and then quickly forgetting no matter how hard I studied. High school came along with my utmost memorable learning experience yet. History or social studies always caused the most immense amount of trouble out

I believe that the class I have grown in the most is Biology. I believe that that is the class I have most grown in because in the beginning of the year, when I first came to Unity I was not fawn of Biology. Now I have grown to love science and find interest in the concepts we are learning. For this class I have progressed in my writing skills. I have thrived in my habits of heart and mind. I have flourished in my confidence of writing about science. In science it is very difficult to explain in writing. I have been taught well and that has gave me the effort and confidence to write and describe the concepts we are learning. I have also grown in my responsibility. At the start of the year I procrastinated as much as you could imagine for a tennager, but over the course of Biology

but never really studying, never fully understanding a concept in class; I was always doing just

What I didn’t learn from my highschool class is how to properly set goals. I didn’t know that there was a process and I didn’t realize how helpful it is writing down goals and physically seeing them. I was able to learn S.M.A.R.T goals which helps you structure your goals to a achievable standard. I also learned the different types of goals like long term, short term, and immediate. I learn how important goal setting can be and how it helps you better achieve them.
