English Class Analysis

Since elementary school English was always my favorite subject. I knew that reading and writing were essential to my learning for me to succeed. Growing up I was always in love with writing stories about my life, so when it came to my English class it was always a breeze for me. I remember being in Ms. Eaton’s class which was when I first was introduced to how to write a narrative. Not only did this class help me become a better writer at such young age but also improved my reading skills so much. I was always in activities that improved my overall techniques in English.

My entire life, I have looked forward to math class; it has always made sense to me. Plugging numbers into an equation and solving for x always came easy to me. Outside of school, I enjoy reading. Easily, I could pick up a book and read the entire thing as time just flies by me. The books I don’t like to read are the ones that I am forced to read in a constricted amount of time. Before this year, I’ve never taken an honors English class; I was the smartest one in my CP class. I never challenged myself which is the reason I decided to take AP English. I didn’t put this on my schedule have my transcript look good, or to boost my GPA, I want to become a better writer. In 20 years, the skills I learn throughout this year will be more important

The five-minute warning bell goes off. I rush to my first class of my junior year, eager to see my classmates, who I was going to spend the rest of the 9 months with. I find myself stumbling into a classroom plastered with decorations of Denzel Washington with a Dr. Seuss book in his hand, a t and college flags galore. My AP English 11 class suddenly seemed so appealing to me. As a beautiful, curly haired short lady stood in front of me and said “Welcome to AP English 11,” I knew that I had found a treasure so much greater than just a pretty classroom. Little did I know, that short lady was going to inspire me throughout my challenge filled second-to-last year of high school.

In my second block Accelerated English class, I believe that I deserve at least a B based on my behavior, attendance, and participation. I would like to have faith in the idea that my behavior is pleasing and acceptable. For example, I have never gotten a referral both in English class and in school in general. Although I shout out sometimes, I try my best to not let this happen. I have to admit that my attendance isn't the finest, however I attempt to only miss school if I am sick, and if I am sick and/or absent, I make up my work as quick as I can. Finally, I conclude that my participation is superb. I always complete my work and I strive to do everything I can to secure an excellent grade in English. Therefore, based on my behavior, attendance, and participation in English class, I deserve at least a B.

Moreover, I consider homework assignments and activities in this course to be helpful. They have enhanced my writing skills, as I know how to write a story, a scenario, and how to support my argument. Frankly speaking, English writing must be my weakest point. However, due to our professor, all instructions were given in a precise manner and I could understand all tasks.

I am here to go through some expectations regarding this AP course with you all as Mr. Spencer is away at a conference. The things I will go over are so that you understand what this class is about, specifically as it relates to the advanced placement aspect of it. As this is an AP English class it’s essential for you to have a basic understanding of how you are to structure content in an essay. This means I will explain what makes a strong thesis and how to back it up with a strong argument and rhetoric. All of this being said, I will also give you information on what exactly is generally expected of you in this classroom as a whole.

During the 2015-2016 school year, the Tiger Advanced English classroom consists of students divided into four classes of 24, 25, 25, and 26. There are 53 boys and 49 girls. All students are identified as gifted though each has unique learning needs. We have one legally blind student that has severely decreased hearing in one ear. One of our students uses an FM sound system and another is diagnosed with a visual processing disorder. Eight students have health needs associated allergies/asthma. One has experienced traumatic brain injury and two others have weak immune disorders. And finally, one diabetic student.

January of 2017 I started taking an English Comp II class. I was very hesitant about it because I knew I wasn't so good in writing. Coming into the class with a little bit of knowledge was good but I still am not a good writer or where I should be at this point. All the assignments the teacher give is kind of complicated for me because i just can’t come up with ideas to help me start and get through my paper. I wish i could focus better and be able to write papers.

During the course of Mrs Wagner's Accelerated English 10 class I learned a tremendous amount. I learned all about things such as TIQA, ANT, verb tense. I also learned a gamut of vocabulary words. So over the course of the first semester I blossomed as a writer and Mrs Wagner showed me the hidden talents within my brain.

In conclusion, we have learned a lot about diversities and different cultures in this English 1050 class, including all the different students that we learned about through the weekly discussions. I love to read the weekly post because everyone has different opinions that I can learn. I came from Asia and living in America, and I think in my life experience, I experienced a lot about the diversity and ethnicity issue. To change that and use Ethnicity to bring people together is the big issue nowadays. Might to find some common ground and realize we are all the same. At the very core of our being, we are people, and it is up to us to find ways we can unite and become stronger as a complete whole. Finally, thanks for everyone who fought with

As I began this journey of obtaining a college degree at the age or thirty-two, I was given advice by a professor that will stick with me forever. As I was creating an essay in English 101, Dr. Andrea St. John wrote that we must own our work. She stated, “This paper, as well as every assignment that is turned in, is a direct representation of who you are as a person.” Clicking on the link in the assignment instructions I was unsure of what I was tuning into, but this was the mindset I had when I began my assessment. Looking at three positive elements of the content, along with three elements that could be improved it will be discovered how well I feel that the speaker did on his presentation. Finally, it will be discussed positive and negative

my understanding of themes and ideas such as gender, violence, and privacy and has advanced my sense of critical thinking. It has supplied me with the tools needed to analyze daunting texts which would have been seen as beyond my abilities. This class has enabled me to relate what is currently going on in our modern-day American society with what goes on in the various types of places described in the great works that we read. Over the course of this school year I have also learned some things about myself that I had never known before. This has led to a self-actualization that I would have never saw coming and has changed my views on life in ways I did not think possible.

Initially, it can be hard to make friends in college. It is especially hard when people around us keep changing every semester. However, this semester was slightly different for me. Uniquely enough, I came to know some interesting people as a part of my English 101 class. As a part of the course curriculum, every student was assigned a group of random classmates to work as a peer editor throughout the semester. Eventually, me, Donnie, Stephen, and Elle Anna Rose landed in the same group. Our first interaction was short, and it was too limited to share all the information about one another. However, I realize that all of us have very different dreams, beliefs, and personalities that set us apart from one another. Apart from these differences,

Although I lived in the United States for six years, listening and speaking were not the matter; however, reading and writing English was the most difficult things to improve. Through taking English 100 D/E class, my English writing and reading skills have extremely improved. In the class, we had to read many articles and discuss together with other classmates. I enjoyed having a conversation with my classmates and professor about reading and this also improved my English speaking and listening skills. Some part that I disliked with the seminar, in my opinion, was few students did not participate in the discussion. Seminar is one of the great opportunities to understand better and get some more informations that I might never think about it;

While working on this assignment my eyes were opened. Since I was allowed to use this as an assignment for my English class I was also able to see each of these books through my students' eyes. I asked the students to write a reflective journal after we had all completed these book reviews. In their reflections they were asked to write whether they felt these books would have affected their life differently if they had read them as a child. Although their responses were not as introspective as I would have liked, every single one said these books would have a positive impact on the reader. I have to agree, I think that ignorance can breed fear. The more awareness and knowledge people have about disabilities the less they need to be
