As a result, I had a good experience with a stretch english class. Even though I had difficulties with some of the assignments, I was able to gain more lessons from it. I gained more good friends and feedbacks from taking a stretch class. From my experience, I think stretch class is great if you need more time and help from the professor and the peers. If you are that person, I highly recommend taking a stretch class.
In the past two months i fell like i have accomplished a great deal. As i focus on it more i realize i have become a better reader. I did this by concentrating on my readings and take my time to read them. With the help of my professor and classmates i began to analyze what i read.
I am a millennial, born in nineteen ninety-four. Because I am known for my entitlement, laziness, and rebellion to the standards around me; The world is a scary place for my vulnerable nature. I along with the millennial generation am known to be an avid consumer of social media. Because of that, millennials view everything around them in an ideal manner. Is it fair that we let the work of many politics, global leaders, and professionals before our generation die, simply because we refuse to pick up a book? Our great nation that once stood as the strongest and ideal, is quickly becoming a joking matter. “Do you speak American?” by Robert MacNeil, “Why Good English is for you” by John Simon, and “Lost in America” by Douglas McGray, all share
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
Taking an AP English class may sound like a hassle especially if after school activities or jobs take up the majority of the time. It is worth taking a class that will bring rewards in the future. When I was in a normal English class, I felt bored out of my mind. It was not because of the teacher or because of my peers, it was about what I was being taught. Everything was being taught at such a slow pace that it was becoming dull.
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.
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.
English 111 has been a great course so far. I have been learning new material that will help me to improve my comprehensive English skills, such as speaking, reading and writing. In this course, we have covered many topics that usually are not presented or introduced to students in younger agers. Sexual harassment is one of the sensitive topics that we have discussed in details. I personally did not fully know what is the true definition of sexual harassment and what form of actions or phrases that we could say that would considered to be forms of sexual harassments or harassments in general. During lectures, we have looked cases of sexual harassments and how we can educate ourselves and be aware of this issue that our communities facing. Student were assigned to draw their thoughts and what they have
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.
As a high school student taking on a college course, I acknowledged and accepted the challenge that lay ahead of me. The main reason I selected Composition I and II was that it allowed me to vastly improve my overall writing skills. Developing my techniques will benefit me when I am required to compose any writing assignments for my future college classes. Therefore, with that goal in mind, I chose to take this class while still attending high school. I began this class as an average writer; additionally, I did not know the majority of the writing rules or how to make an essay meet its potential. Over the course of these two classes, I believe that I have proven my writing to be more seamless and interesting to read.
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
Hello, I am Amber Rojcewicz, and I have elected to take an online English course so that it will fit in my schedule. In my past English classes, I have worked on citing properly, creating cohesive text, and using databases. Hopefully these skills will follow through into this new journey. I have allotted time to work on this class and that would be on Wednesdays and Thursdays because I have no classes on those days. I would say I am organized, and will do my best to keep up on work that is given to me. On the English- 11 Regents exam, I scored above a 75 I passed with an 85. I have been around computers and keyboards a lot in my life and can find my way around one well. I have access to Wi-Fi in a lot of places. I have it in my house and can also find access in public places. You spoke on
During my first quarter in Honors English 10, I have had my deal of frustration and struggles with the class, along with some success and prosperity. I have found many of my strengths, and plenty of my weaknesses; that I would enjoy building upon for the rest of the school year to come. Although the profuse advice provided by many of my teachers and peers is absolutely valuable (and appreciated), I fancy finding my own way to complete tasks; though it may be an insufficient way.
