What I Learned in My English Class Essay

Wow, I made it through the second hardest class I am taking my sophomore year, this being a close second to College Prep Writing (next semester’s class). This class has truly changed me in the most interesting ways possible. I actually have found some maturity in writing, something that I didn’t even know I needed until I learned it. This essay compared to my intro essay will most likely look like a Harvard paper versus a community college course high school student’s paper. But that is because this

past three days that I have been listening to lectures by Dr Maftuhah, one significant thing that have left an impact on me is that the class has been making me busy to keep on reflecting my teaching styles that I have been using all these while. I was not a TESL student, which means that for my degree, I did not study to become a teacher. My course was all about English language and literature and we were never taught about theories that are related to teaching. Only after a year I have started working

My writing experience started in high school. I was part of the high school yearbook. I was business editor as a freshman up to being the editor my senior year. I also participated on the newspaper staff. I had some experience in college, but I did not finish college. I then did not have any more experience until I started work as a leader at Nisco. I finally started college classes again. When I was in high school I did not have to write much experience with MLA format for paper writing. I did

Before I started English 101 I had a pretty great foundation on how to write essays. I knew how to set up an essay and where to place certain things to grab my readers attention. I was in AP English since my 10th grade year and I had one of the best English teachers my 12th grade year. I believe my 12th grade year was when I really grew as a writer. My teacher would write all over our essays of ways to approve everything down to the smallest thing. Then she would spend a whole class day to give

On September 1, 2012, I walked into my fifth grade teacher’s classroom for the first time in my life. Mrs.Cullen was standing in the front of the door with open arms ready to welcome her new fifth grade students. As I made my way to my desk and sat down next to Charlie Schutt and Quin Timmerman, I got the feeling that middle school would be a time of talking to some of my best friends and cruising through classes. As the school year progressed, and classroom seats changed, my thought of how Middle

of life there is always a simple question; where is the end, where is the beginning? How will my journey effect my life and will it affect it in a positive manner. For me this began in the 1301 classroom where the discussion of English essays where the main topic. For someone such as myself, the thought of writing sent chills down my neck. This is mainly due to my aversion to the English language that I have struggled with for so long. That brings not only me but anyone who struggles the same to

On reflection on the past semester I remember thinking at the beginning of the class that I would like to be a better communicator. I felt connected to the professor right away because of the humbleness and encouraging way he came across in his introduction of himself. My perception was from his writing since this is a online class. He continues to come across as a approachable teacher by the way his written instructions come across. The first articles we read and the youtube videos we watched

English 101 was one of my first college courses to take along with college algebra. Throughout the time I have been in this class it has really opened my eyes to what I need to be expecting next semester after I graduate high school and begin OTC as a full-time student. That is if I can manage to pull it all together and pass this class with a C, allowing me to be able to finish my English credits. College is the real deal and cannot be blown off like some high school classes I am taking now as

I remember the first time I went into my ESL class I was very nervous, I was scared because I did not know what was going on. That is how my first experience with writing went. This is where the river or the learning of writing started to advance in my life. During my elementary school life, I learned the basics of writing at the same time as learning a new language. At the end of 5th grade I was able to write full sentences and small paragraphs. I was at the level of reading

Growth, I believe, is inevitable when one is compelled to learn and apply that knowledge which has been presented to them. This semester has proved to be a time of development, change, and substantial growth. During my time in English 101 I have had the chance to really explore new genres of writing such as memoirs, rhetorical analyses, and persuasive essays. In this class I have been able to build upon old writing skills and cultivate new ones; and I have also come to recognize what I like and dislike
