Importance Of Accelerated English

During this school year so far I have learned many things, including when we researched Summit’s ‘Definite Dozen’ in September and I’m familiar with her life. My note-taking is one of the many skills that was improved in this class, I can copy down words faster and summarize better. I haven’t really changed much, if I did it would be for the worse. If I could go back and redo the past to fix my mistakes, I would so I can be more successful and have a higher grade.

ou had the key to a whole new world, would you take it? That key is reading and writing, and it is within your grasp and mine. English ¾ Accelerated is a class I have decided to enroll in due to the many things I could accomplish here.

For me, being a part of the year 8 enhanced English class would be a great learning opportunity. Digging deeper and pushing myself to the limit, to strive for excellence and receive good results. At the moment, I feel my writing is in a steady and solid place, but being a part of the enhanced English program will expand my knowledge and writing, to another level of sophistication, maturity, vividity and develop my vocabulary to a higher level.

Freshman year, language arts was just a class; I did not care to excel my abilities and never seen the importance of literature. Sophomore year, I dreaded going to English 10, for language arts was my all time least favorite and weakest subject. However, I had Mrs. Sohnly for my sophomore year, and my whole perspective changed. Mrs. Sohnly was not new to the education department at Evergreen; she has influenced lives since my parents were in high school. I was comfortable with the fact that my parents loved her teaching, and it gave me hope that I would have a teacher that would change my excitement toward reading and writing.

For one, I improved on my writing and public speaking. I also enjoyed the reading aspect of English IV. However I did not improve on my procrastination. I think it may have gotten worse. I learned about MLA format and how to properly type an essay. I also learned the importance of coming to school. If you are not here then you can not get

This year has been a blast! There were so many things that just cried out me, and the projects were so much fun! I know I have grown as a writer by starting to have less and less edits on my paper. Making my blog helped me grow as a writer because it made me want to work harder. I wanted to work harder because I knew people would see my work. Sacred writing time has helped me grow as a writer because the time was helpful in the sense that I got some of my best ideas in just 5 minutes. Mrs. Lockwood has been a huge influence on my writing ability. Her instruction helped me grow by fixing my errors. I made many grammatical and punctual errors, that is, before I started no red ink. No red ink helped me to eliminate those errors. I usually don't

I feel I have come a long way my tenth grade year. My writing has gotten so much better and I can write essays of much better quality now. Things have gotten better like punctuation, thesis, and analysis.

Over the year in English, what went well for me were the short stories. Normally, when reading short stories, I don't understand the meaning behind them, but this year I was able to piece things together, and I enjoyed talking about them afterwards. What didn't go well for me is reading the Wes Moore book. When reading it, I was constantly lost and never knew what was going on or which Wes was which. Even after discussing the book in class, I could never seem to figure out what was going on, and I always dreaded having to read the book because of that.

I needed to fit an English class into my schedule, but did not know much about what this class was about coming into this class. Taking this class showed me that going to some classes, like this one, could more just as fun as it is educational. I felt like I was really a part of the class, even simple contributions to like peer reviewing a classmates work made me feel like I could not slack and was needed. My final thought on this class would be that it definitely is the top English class and I would recommend it to anyone needing to take an English class. As I mentioned before, his class is just as fun as it is educational and informative. Megan Peiser is awesome and probably one of the smartest women I have come across here at the University of

The past 15 weeks have been very interesting. Never did I think that I would be taking a children's literature class while in college. Well I did take this class, and while I can definitely say I did not enjoy it, I can also say that I did learn many new things. Some of these include how much detail the illustrators actually put into making children's picture books, what the Newbery and Caldecott awards are, and the importance of diversity for children. I also read NINE books, that might be more than I have read in the last 5 years. Many of these books were fun and classic children's books such as Charlotte's Web. Others were scary trans media books like Coraline. And then there was Middle School is Worse Than Meatloaf... I hated this book, but I can see how middle school girls might like it.

The best thing about reading this year was the strict scheduling. I loved that we were supposed to read everyday and we had a concrete foundation where we were able to choose our own book to read and were able to elaborate on it. With the concrete foundation I was able to always know that I had something to do and I always looked forward to reading the book that I chose.

In today’s society, there are many reasons why people in the world need to know the fundamentals of using Standard English. When working in a business environment, we as employees need to know how to use Standard English to compete in the world and become successful. Many opportunities and rewards can come from learning how to use proper Standard English. There are many reasons why people should use Standard English in an office or workspace frequently, and using non-standard English can lead to many effects on your outlook as a professional.

The transition from honors English 11 to a college-level course was not what I expected. However, my experience in this class has been good, so far. When it comes to the format of the class, I do not mind it. At first, I hated it. The communication aspect of student to teacher was lacking. For this reason, I could not receive feedback and answers to my questions from my professor. On the other hand, since the start of the second semester I began to like that Dual Enrollment was given online. After being given a new instructor, things started to fall in place. Professor Crawford has taught me a lot of new information. The links provided to me weekly are resourceful.

In English, I have been experiencing more homework than usual, and we are taking extremely important notes that will help me prepare from high school all the way through college. We have been taking spelling tests weekly, and it has improved my spelling dramatically, but I still need to try my best. Also, the vocab from the stories we read in the literature book has expanded my vocabulary greatly, and I will most likely continue to expand my vocabulary. So far, I am satisfied with my English grade, and home to keep it at the same grade throughout the year.

I honestly can say I have grown as a writer over the years. Since the semester has started I feel like I have accomplished a lot in my writings. As the semester comes to an end I find myself reflecting not only how I have improved as a writer the first semester but also what I have learned. The most important thing I have learned so far is how to
