To begin with, this English 101 course differed from the previous English courses I have taken by being less hostile, more informative, and all around more helpful. This course was much more relaxed, in the way that, students were not constantly looking over their shoulder terrified that the teacher might come up behind them and belittle everything they had written and throw it out. Dr. Bosse took the time to go over each type of writing we were about to encounter, giving us examples and explaining the examples to make sure each of us knew exactly what was expected and how we could accomplish it. If we had problems, there was no doubt, we could go to him for help and advice, whether it be in class or not. Dr. Bosse made sure that each of us
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.
In Honors English (3rd and 5th), ask students to turn in yesterday’s assignment. They have a test on “A Problem” today, so they should log into their pearson accounts online and take the test. I will check their scores and put them in Skyward asap. Once their test is finished please have them read pages 78-79 in the literature book. Their assignment is to read “Like the Sun” (pgs 80-84) and “The Open Window” (pgs 85-88). They should be looking for instances of paradoxes and irony during each reading. They need to complete the critical thinking questions on pages 84 and 88.
In English 1102 students will learn many different techniques throughout the course to understand and compose an analysis on an array of topics. After the course is over it is up to the students to apply what they have learned to everyday life. Many students throughout this course have questioned why they have to learn this material and that it will not even help them in the real world, but they are wrong. Each and everyday people should look at the deeper meaning and analyze situations very carefully or else one may find themselves being deceived. Being able to analyze is a very important skill no matter what career choice you choose. In this course the material assigned also had many life lessons in them. A great example of a reading assignment
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.
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.
My understanding of a Syllabus, it is a document "that outlines a course policies," with all applicable knowledge in preparation for success in the course. (Eng. 111-805 Syllabus, pg1)
This transcript, an extract taken from one of the creative writing controlled assessments I submitted for my GCSE English Language studies, is a sociolect between two East-End Londoners. The complicity and the natural language employed within this private exchange denote a long-term relationship between two middle-class, middle-aged women, on the same intellectual level who are having a tease - a literal 'dig'- winding each other while carrying out casual gardening work.
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
From what I can remember from my high school career, the essays that were assigned in my English class were based on the narratives, poetries and passages that were read in class. We would be assigned books and passages that our teacher would give us and write about what the author was trying to explain throughout his story. We would also have to compared and contrast different poems. The different kinds of writing assignments that I had to do in my high school English class were based on narrative essays, descriptive essays and persuasive essays. I would have to convince people what I thought about a book or poem through my writing. I also had to compare and contrast passages with novels. The most recent English writing assignment that I had to do in high school was my college essay. I
. I wanted to register for Advanced Placement English Language and Composition because I wanted to receive advanced information regarding this subject so that I can utilize it when I take the English AP exam and the SAT and the end of this year. By taking this class I hope that I can receive a high score on my English AP exam, so that I can receive college credit for the course.
Education is exceedingly important but as they say good things don’t come easy, and you have to work hard for what you want.

Through this summer class, I actually learned a lot about writing. I am getting better at searching the academic sources and use them properly in my essay. As an international student, this class definitely help my English skills a lot. This class requires a lot reading, however, I can feel that I can read a lot faster than before. At the beginning of the course, I had a really hard time to even finish one assignment. But now, I am getting a lot better. I think the reason of this is Dr. Posey can always pick some topics that I am interested in. I enjoy reading the materials and the book. I believe still have a lot of things need to be improved, but this class make me become more confident for my future English learning. The assignments in the
In this world an abundant amount of people, mispronounce or misspell words, but with speech therapy, practice and English classes people are improving their ability to read and write. I have, and I’m sure a few others have as well. I was in the third grade when my English teacher handed the class a writing assignment, the class was assigned to write a story about our future; afterward, we were required to present it in front of the entire class. The stories were due two weeks after the teacher passed out the assignment, which left the class enough time to write the story and practice presenting. Two weeks later, the day came when it was time to present our stories, the lights in the classroom were off and the hallways were noisy. I did not
I’ve learned a lot of useful tips from this semester in ENG 201. English has never been my strong suit nor has it been my favorite class. However this college course has changed my point of view of the subject. Prior coming into college I viewed English as a useless class because I’ve already knew the basics: how to talk, read and write essays. Today I view English as an important class. It helped me in other courses that involved writing, such as World Civilization and Communications, because it allowed me to practice my skills. In my world civilization exams I had to write essays. This course helped me write an impactful essay. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that almost all of my exam scores were in the 90s, usually I do poorly in the
