Being in honors English for my freshman year of high school would be a great opportunity to further my growth.. English is a vital, branching off of every core subjects such as Math, Science and Social Studies.Throughout my past education years , I have set my `expectations at a higher level,trying to have further knowledge of the subject. I feel that by being in Honors English, I will continue to challenge myself in ways I have never been offered by before. This course will place me in an atmosphere where I will be able to continue to work to my highest potential, with higher expectations from my teachers. I also believe being in honors English, will better prepare me for upcoming AP courses and my future college career. By perusing this

For instance, funded by the U.S. Department of Education TRIO Grant, the UB Program for English Language Learners (ELL) at Rowan University focuses on providing college preparatory activities and supportive services to low income students in grades 9 or 10 who are able to maintain their GPA at 2.0, who are highly recommended by their teachers or counselors, and who have the desire for higher education (Rowan University at Camden, 2015). The Rowan UB Program continuously identifies and recruits competitive students who are interested in learning English as their preparation for their future academic success and postsecondary attainment.

The audience screams encore! The crowd goes wild! The performance, located in the Chamber Theatre in Pittsburgh, was a great hit among all the people in attendance. This journey into the heart of Pittsburgh to see a collection of short stories by famous authors would be a fantastic opportunity and a great chance to learn about literature!

I am interested in taking Honors English 10 because, I thoroughly enjoy reading in my free time and English is my favorite subject. I have a strong passion for writing and I would like to continue my writing at a more rigorous level. Reading and writing are both very significant to me and I believe Honors English 10 will help me explore both of these interests more in depth. I find it important to be challenged and I would very much enjoy being a part of the Honors English program.

I can not say English is one of my favorite subjects, Can you? I have many weaknesses when it comes to writing. Such as, run on sentences, not adding enough information, not being able to have my essay flow and make my word count and that’s just to name a few. Writing has and still is one of my worst subjects that I’m working on getting better at.

I can say that I really like the structure of the class, and it was very interesting. Meaning that I didn’t see anything that I don’t like from the class exercises, readings, discussions and assignments.

I would like to enroll in the Intensive English course because it will allow me to gain better experience for college. From what I’ve heard, AP courses have teachers that enjoy the subjects they teach, and students that are eager to learn. I feel that taking this class will improve my writing and understanding of the english writings overall, as well as prepare me for more difficult courses I will choose to take in the future. I have already read “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” and “The Kite Runner” and enjoyed them. I have no issues writing what is required for the class, and want to challenge myself. The extra points from AP courses to my GPA is an added bonus. My hopes are to have a high school transcript that is looked

When I moved to America writing became harder. My teachers could not understand most of the sentences I jotted down on my paper. I became overwhelmed. I refused to step an inch near that classroom because it made me feel unintelligent. Fortunately, on a rainy day I spent hours contemplating, and eventually I became filled with determination to succeed in my English class. To overcome my improper ways, I put in countless hours of extreme studying on websites that enhanced my spelling, Parts of Speech, and taught myself every tip and tricks in the English language. Soon, I began writing essays for fun. Now In my senior year, I’m very happy to announce that I am now studying hard and thriving in my AICE General Papers class, where I can happily write essays and learn more about the English

My interest in the EIU English Studies Camp stems from a lifelong love of literature and the desire to learn more about the process of creating literary media. As an aspiring editor, this camp would give me the opportunity to learn more about the craft of writing. It would also allow me to become more skillful in one of my favorite pastimes. The courses I am applying to participate in cover novel writing and writing dialogue: two things that are very important to a future editor. Being able to participate in the EIU English Studies Camp would give me a boost in my college career and perhaps even in my career as an editor.

This semester I learned many things from this course, but most importantly I developed better writing skills. I believe by taking this English course, it has prepared me to write successful papers throughout this semester. In nearly every major, I will need this knowledge on tests, organize information in research papers and explain my ideas or opinions in essays. Any major in the humanities will require a significant amount of writing. After taking this class I can confidentially say that I have sufficient knowledge on writing a proper essay, for any class.

Multicultural Literature may of been my favorite class this one was more benefical. Along with this class and all the help I recieved with my writing I made some great friends. The College Essay was the most helpful for my future. This essay could possibly be used as a college admission essay. Also the other notes and topics we wrote down can be formed into an essay. After the class I see my strengths as showing a story instead of telling it. On the other hand, I will have to continue to focus on my grammar. If a professor was to say, “write and essay” I would have multiple different types of essays I could write; a narrative piesce, a Rhetorical Analstit, a Argumetive, a persuasive, or a research paper. These will all be possible because of the notes and previous essays. With doing the profile I was able to see there should be some pre planning for a good essay. With pre planning it is a easy way to keep your essay

Even though, I do not consider english my best subject, I wanted to be able to take the effort to make the most of

After reading chapters 6 & 13 in James Crawford’s book Educating English Learners, two political events that affected the education of English language learners stood out: Proposition 227 also known as the English for the Children Initiative and The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) also known as The Elementary and Secondary Education Act. In 1997, Ron Unz organized the creation of Proposition 227 with the help of prominent Latinos. The main objective of the Proposition was to meet conflicting political and policy goals. Unz sought to outlaw a program that many parents wanted without appearing to restrict parental choice; to tie the hands of the school boards that favored bilingual education without seeming to usurp their authority; and to eliminate

In the beginning of my career as a teacher, I taught research as a stand-alone unit in my English class. I did require the students to use the skills they learned for a research project linked to another unit, but other than that, I did not really make research a regular part of the learning process. After becoming an NBCT, I began to look for more ways that I could better serve my students, and I realized that research was an area that I needed to improve upon. It became clear to me that for students to truly become learners, they would need to know how to develop their own questions and how to find their own answers.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the government?s policy of using English as the medium of instruction in our schools. According to those who filed the petition, the push for the use of English in our classrooms will only lead to further deterioration of what?s already been described as a rather inferior quality of education.
