Essay About My English Class

Writing is so much easier when you don’t have a ridiculous amount of guidelines you have to follow. With literary freedom, we are able to express ourselves more than if we have to follow a specific set of rules for every thing we write. This is one downfall for high school English. We have to order our papers in a specific sequence while writing about a topic that is chosen for us. This English composition class changed all of that. We were able to write about anything that related to the given type of essay, which greatly improved our ability to fully immerse ourselves into every paper. This greatly affected my writing thoughts about writing; they changed from hating to write for school to actually enjoying it because I was able to

When I started the English Composition course I expected an entirely different type of writing. I expected more of a story telling writing, novelist, story and screenplay writing. To my surprise, it was a different world of grammar, style, voice, sentence mechanics and structure guidelines. I was afraid of something new and challenging. I expected more of a three act structure to write a novel or a short story but the course was different. Different in a helpful way that it opened my eyes to how the overall writing process works.

On paper, I may not be the best student. I know very well that I am not the brightest student that this university has come across. Nonetheless, my drive and determination is something that I am very proud of. I strive to put my all into every aspect of my education. I remember junior year of high school being the most challenging year I have ever had. I took the initiative of taking three AP level courses all in one semester. I took AP U.S. History, AP Language, and AP Statistics head on that semester. I had heard rumors about AP U.S. History being “the hardest class you will ever take in high school”. That terrified me from the moment I first entered the classroom. With the help of an amazing teacher, it became my favorite class right away. I had not heard much about AP Language, so I had no clue what

Observe a Sixth Grade English Class at Bain Middle School I observe at Roosevelt Middle School, which is in River Forest, in Mrs. Braun’s sixth grade English class on Tuesdays in the morning. As I have observed, I have noticed that the classroom is student-centered. During computer time, Mrs. Braun focused more on helping the students get into the computer program to start the assignment than on having enough time to get the assignment done. Several times, Mrs. Braun gave helpful comments on how to do things on the computer or in the program, such as how to install automatic spell check.

My English classes were easy for me all throughout high school both because of my love for reading and writing and because it was not difficult to meet the expectations of my teachers. My writing skills were reaffirmed as opposed to challenged; I was told what I was doing right, and the only improvements I was told to make were about grammar and syntax. In college, my writing skills have been thoroughly challenged and, as a result, my ability to analyze texts and write essays with strong arguments and supporting evidence has improved

During my years in high school, I always took the necessary courses needed for that certain grade level. Looking back, I realized I was never challenged in these classes which is now affecting me in the long run. Finally, being challenged in a college level English class has improved my overall writing in ways that have contributed to me as a critical thinker. Through the essays we wrote, the grammar and usage lessons, and our classroom methodologies have enhanced my ability to write many different forms of essays. Thus, improving my overall thinking and writing skills.

Although I’ve had quite a bit experience with writing classes because most Broward College classes are writing classes, I’ve never enjoyed them, writing isn’t really my thing. As soon as class is over I tend brain dump everything. My first writing class at Broward College was an English class that mainly helped with grammar and how to set up an essay. Some of the classes I took at Broward College were better than others. I took a geography class that was a writing class, but the writing consisted of was answering a few questions about videos I watched, in fact most of the classes taken that were not English classes consisted of this. English classes did actually help me in understanding how an essay should be written, but it did not actually

Many people may feel as if College composition is a writing intensive that is not necessary for them to take whether if they are not majoring in English or whether if they just simply feel that they shouldn't due to a score in which they may have received from a standardized exam from perhaps an AP English course during the time that he or she were enrolled in high school. However, It is very critical to continue to improve your language skills. It is necessary, not only to have the ability to write, but to also be able to read between the lines. Whereas high school English courses may teach you about symbolism and proper grammar, as well as sentence structure, college composition teaches you to

My tenth grade year of high school proved to be a year saturated with learning. The class that made me see that the most was English II. I gained a great deal of knowledge regarding my writing abilities, and I realized that I was not as skilled in the subject of English as I had previously thought. This class taught me to appreciate English, and it eventually became my favorite subject. Weaknesses, strengths, and new discoveries abounded that year, but they all eventually led me to success.

While in Soquel high school I had to spend extra time in my English classes, I needed emphasize in my writing and overall skills, so I could be able to get better grades on my essays. My teachers helped me plenty of times although I dislike writing but I knew I had to do it for my own good.

Entering a new and unfamiliar place, a burst of cold air hit my skin like a gust of wind on a stormy night. Awaking my nerves, the wind reminded me of where I was. Within my sight, there were roughly twenty other people anxiously walking down the hallway. Feeling relieved, I noticed many of the other students were walking to their first day of college classes as well. At the time of entering my first college class, College Writing One, I did not think there would be anything special about it. This thought, as I found out, would be entirely wrong. Pushing my ideas and knowledge to the edge, I soon found out that College Writing One would be a special class. Obtaining countless knowledge through the reading of essays, class discussions, and even

Attending the reading that was in the evening of the conference for Jory Franklin and Patrick Madden was enlightening for me as a growing writer. This semester I’ve been focusing on creative non-fiction, taking both the literature class and the advanced creative writing class for it, so the reading was a great addition to my semester. I am glad that I attended the conference and that I came with a lot insights and things to contemplate.

I feel as if my previous class helped prepare me for the real world. The real world does not come with an instruction manual or tell you how certain tasks should be performed in life. My last English class helped further my knowledge by challenging me and allowing me to learn on my own. These challenges helped me learn how to be more independent as a student and grow as a person. Another high point from my last class would be that we got to do partner narrative essays, which consisted of two people having to agree on one topic and work together for the best grade. This taught us compromise and communication skills which are a necessity in order to be successful in life. Through all the challenging work and dedication to my essays, it did allow me to overcome a major

I walked into Ms.Vessels English class senior year thinking it would be like any other year, until she confronted me at the start of class. “You’re Becky from the Scribbler, right?” asked Ms.Vessels. Dear god, she knows me. I just smiled and nodded as anxious thoughts
