English Reflection

This English class was the best English class I have ever had. There were no tests, vocabulary quizzes, or in class essays, which made the class less stressful. Before this English class, I was afraid that I would not enjoy writing many essays or writing so many words in one paper. Afterwards, essays have become something that is not so much my favorite task in the world, but it has become more enjoyable to an extent. Professor Sullivan’s class has taught me to formally write a research paper, to analyze a book through responding to different quotes from the story or novel, to understand magical realism, and to understand my own passion for school and how much effort I will be willing to put out in years to come.

The toilsome component this semester was transitioning from being a high school level writer to a college-level writer. However, English 10 has by far been my best experience in writing. By taking this course I have retrieved many helpful elements, that will help me become a successful writer throughout college. In high school, essays often gave me stress and anxiety, however, when taking English 10, I was able to learn to enjoy the process of writing purposefully and mindfully. Even though, I have taken advanced placement English courses in high school and have taken a practice run of college level English over the summer with Professor Brenda Venezia, I was still able to retrieve a lot more from this course. To showcase my progress in

As the Fall 2017 term comes to end, I look back on what I have accomplished in this class. English 102 – Composition II was one of the most challenging and toughest class I have taken at UW-Stout, but feel as though it has helped me to improve my writing skills. Even before the semester started the feeling of anxiety had taken over, as writing has never been my strongest skill, but stayed positive and confident I would be successful. Much to my surprise, my instructor, Michael Critchfield quickly addressed that this class would not be easy and amazingly changed my views of writing throughout the entire semester.

When I was a young student, my first English professor taught me the alphabet. After one year, he taught me to put those letters together to make words, sentences, and finally paragraphs in essays. During the high school I learn to write short paragraphs, with ought putting in the correct structure .When I moved in America I stared the course of English as a Second Language and I finished with success last year. My professor advise me that when I starts the English 101 my writing it will be more fulfil and more structural. He has right as when I arrived in English 101, I realized there was more to do not just writing words on paper.

This class was different. Rather than discuss the narrow topic of old literature, we actually broadened our knowledge on an abundance of subjects. I was reminded that English pertained to everything, not just Romeo and Juliet. I was reminded of the wide, wide

Throughout the course of English 16, I have improved my writing. The worksheets and notes provided helps me become a better writer than I was when I first stepped into the classroom. Revising my paper after the second draft or ‘final copy’ helped me better under the process and time that must be in to make a perfect paper. In the course, there were four assignments, a research paper, a research proposal, diagnostic essay and a essay about appearance.

I have several expectations for success in English 101, from my teacher, from my classmates, and from myself. In this course I expect my teacher, Mrs. Carroll, to demonstrate how to properly compose interviews, essays, and research papers. I also hope to learn how to write the papers in the correct formats. Additionally, I expect my classmates to be courteous, to avoid being disruptive, and to be respectful. Furthermore, I expect myself to strive for greatness, to never give up, and to improve daily. I expect many different things from many individuals, but I realize that is the only way to be successful in life and in English 101.

During the last semester of my senior year of high school, I enrolled in Tupelo High School's Advanced Placement Dual Credit English IV course. Ultimately, my time in Advanced English provided me with many challenges, but also helped me recognize high points as well as my strengths. These experiences helped mold me into the writer I am today.

To start off, this essay has a lot of problems starting from the title to the conclusion. For one, the title of the essay is miss leading and does not provide enough information about the essay itself. It`s rather vague and really boring to the point where I would not pick it up if only my teacher didn’t force me too. The second problem I have with this essay is the introduction. This is because in the beginning sentence of the introduction, the writer explains what a grammar school is, which is fine and all, but why did the writer end it off with an exclamation mark? With that exclamation mark there, it sounded like the writer is calling the reader`s stupid because the writer is yelling at them when they are explaining what a grammar school is. The next thing that bugged me was that the writer spaced the “st” from the twenty ones which is incorrect. The last thing about the writer`s introduction that was a big problem was that you did not provide any supporting evidence to back up your thesis and you ranted on too much on how much you dislike Shakespeare too.

Throughout this semester in English 101, I have made a significant improvement on multiple things, including how to be an exceptional writer and thinker. English has always been one of my most favored subjects to study because to me it instructs students how to be intelligent, how to become a more creative and critical thinker, and be able to develop ethical values and imagination. You can express yourself more efficiently in English than you can in any other subject. This class has truly made me a more confident writer and helped me express myself in different ways through the different types of papers I wrote. By writing different types of papers I have improved multiple areas of my writing. I have grown as a student in diverse areas such

All throughout a person's schooling, students are required to take certain classes, whether the individual wants to take them or not. However, it is required for a reason it is seen as a helping hand went preparing them for the next step. College is no different than kindergarten through senior year there are classes that the student is required to take in order to move on and be better prepped for what is to come. English Composition 1 is one of the classes almost every college student is required to take. Now English has never been my strong suite personally, but rather science and math. I do however agree with most of the reasoning behind making it a required class. The class will not only help become more professional when it comes to

My entire time while in English 101, I had learned a variety of things about the subject and myself. I learned I had many strengths and weakness, also likes and dislikes of the course overall. For me the course overall was very interesting and influencing. I learned that I can write papers with many different topics, and they will come out good if and only I follow all directions given to me. I love to follow directions so that for me wasn’t such a big issue. A weakness I had was, not knowing how to properly find a source and cite it correctly. I always had a hard time looking for the publisher and the date any document was published. With having this weakness, I learned that I should always look everywhere for information on a document, most

The information covered this week was interesting and useful for me as an educator. The understanding of language development is highly critical for developing English among learners without any doubt. As an educator it is extremely important to be informed and familiar with the extensive process of learning proficient English for non-native students. The points that will be discussed in this synthesis are: Language Development, Biological development, technology in the classroom, and assessing student’s learning. Moreover, all of these practical strategies were shown on the two videos selected for this week. Both teachers from the videos intentionally or unintentionally implemented these practices through the execution of the lesson.

This first semester at the University of Akron has flown by. I learned many new writing concepts that helped me become a better writer. English composition was a required class that I had to take in order to get my degree. Although this class was required I still wanted to take this class to become more knowledgeable about writing. Coming into English Composition I was worried about all of the papers and the workload that I would have to complete. I knew that I was going to have to write a lot more than I previously had in highschool, but I was unsure of just how much. The works that I decided to include in my portfolio comprise of my Literacy Narrative, Image Analysis Paper, and essay titled Mayas Hardships based on Maya’s experiences in I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. I selected these works because I felt that they are the ones that require the most improvement to them. The papers i've chosen show how far I’ve came In English Composition.

In my essay there wasn’t a drastic changed throughout my essay. There are small changes that needed to be done. Some of the changes I made were spelling errors and really word choice. I sometimes forget how to spell certain words at times, so I had to made those changes. My word choice is good, but it could be improved and stronger. I had try to use stronger word choice throughout the essay to make it flow better and sound proper. I may have to look up AP words that would help improve my vocabulary and make my essay stronger. The reason I had chosen the adversity paper is because it’s one of the few high scores that I had obtained in the class. Since writing essays are not my strong point, this paper is one of the few that I receive
