English III Class Analysis

Since elementary school English was always my favorite subject. I knew that reading and writing were essential to my learning for me to succeed. Growing up I was always in love with writing stories about my life, so when it came to my English class it was always a breeze for me. I remember being in Ms. Eaton’s class which was when I first was introduced to how to write a narrative. Not only did this class help me become a better writer at such young age but also improved my reading skills so much. I was always in activities that improved my overall techniques in English.

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.

When you become one of those people who always receive A’s without having to try, you tend to underestimate how easy a class might be. In high school, I never got a grade lower than an A on a paper and never thought that it could be possible. I never really put in much effort on my papers either, but mainly because I did not have to and writing always came easily to me even though my grammar was not the best. In no way am I trying to be boastful, there is a warning for others who come into an English 111 class who are just like me. After taking English 110 this past spring and breezing through it, I thought that English 111 would be the same. During the first week of classes I realized that I was most definitely wrong. Realizing that I was

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.

I learned so much about myself and became more confident in who I am. I learned that I am not good at accounting or finance and that you will probably never see me walking down Wall Street. This semester I learned that I have a new passion for health and wellness. I love learning about nutrition and how to fuel your body properly. My business classes taught me how to get out of my comfort zone and be able to present in front of a large number of people. I learned so much about myself that I would not have learned if I did not come to a liberal arts

Before taking English 1301 class, I was a light writer. I mostly enjoyed writing poetry, short stories, and a did a little bit of journaling here and there. Many of my writings were about my own personal feelings and were used as stress relievers, or for other therapeutic reasons. I am a very emotional writer, by this I mean I like to show a lot of emotion behind my writings. While taking English 1301, I had to write academic essays. This caused quite a bit of struggle for me, as I was unable to show emotion and I had to grow accustomed to writing with a larger vocabulary and writing papers that were longer than half a page or so. I struggled with finding the words to say, and suffered from writer’s block. I got over this slump within the first three to four weeks of class, and felt more capable of writing academic essays.

When first learning about 1011 option I had bittersweet feelings about it, I love English but I’m pretty lazy. Pretty much being forced into the class I went in skeptical on the course and instructor, asking myself “ do I need this extra work load”? Unless learning is love for someone, I’m sure anyone with the same option to take this course would think similarly. I’m here to tell you that the 1011 course is a worthwhile option for students. The class community, additional supports in 1010, and one on one with instructors make this class an awesome option for any student.

Most importantly, I learned to courageously enter the academic conversation in an appropriate way. I gathered enough information from my research to form an opinion, or a central idea, on my writing. One of the most important things I learned from the class was that everything that can be written is persuasive. I also learned how to state my own beliefs, agree, disagree, and plant a naysayer in my text. Now, I have a fundamental idea of how to enter the academic conversation in relation to

Throughout history, women have been shamed and oppressed in different aspects of life. In The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, the oppression of women continues into the dystopian future. One cannot read The Handmaid’s Tale without seeing the problems of gender separation among roles and treatment in society. Although a feminist story, The Handmaid’s Tale gives some surprisingly sympathetic portrayals of men while those of women can be critical. Men are the most mysterious characters; they are the ones we know least about and the ones that Offred can provide the least insight into beyond patriarchal society, dominant male figures, and sexual predators. Few male characters have more than functional roles of the patriarchal state. Most

The concept that women are not on the same level as men has always been a notion throughout society. Since existence, the prominent barrier between the two genders has been apparent. Atwood’s novel “The Handmaids Tale” vividly manifests the idea of sexism and inequality that women are exposed to and by doing so, her depiction of a dystopian society cleverly criticizes the behavior towards women in the present day. Although Atwood exaggerates these issues throughout the book, she undeniably demonstrates what could be the result of inequality in the future making the reader question the imbalance between male and females in today’s society. It is virtually impossible to read this eye-opening novel without becoming aware of these issues.

I would like to enroll in the Intensive English course because it will allow me to gain better experience for college. From what I’ve heard, AP courses have teachers that enjoy the subjects they teach, and students that are eager to learn. I feel that taking this class will improve my writing and understanding of the english writings overall, as well as prepare me for more difficult courses I will choose to take in the future. I have already read “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” and “The Kite Runner” and enjoyed them. I have no issues writing what is required for the class, and want to challenge myself. The extra points from AP courses to my GPA is an added bonus. My hopes are to have a high school transcript that is looked

During my time as a student, I have taken part in a broad spectrum of English classes. Some of these classes have been a delightful experience, and others have been subpar. The most recent class that I was in was one that I would categorize as the second of the two. The last English class that I was in was enrolled in was English II. The class itself was not entirely misfortunate, and had identifiable high points; however, it just was not a class that I would describe as fulfilling. In this class, I experienced one of the worst moments of my life, discovered a weakness that was holding me back, and also experienced one of the best days of my high school career.

I majored in English in the Humanities and Social Sciences college at Rowan University. At the same time, I studied a number of courses in the discipline of secondary education. I enjoyed studying teaching but early in my undergraduate career I determined that teaching English at the high school level was not my desired life path. Rather, teaching English Literature as a professor was my life's purpose. As an undergraduate, I have taken a deluge of class varying from children's literature to Toni Morrison studies in an attempt to further understand literature. Concentrating on the ways in which modern literature apprehends the American experiences within the written word. At the point of graduation, I accomplished a

During this year I found Aesthetics, Values and Cultures to be one of the most interesting classes I have taken. It allowed me to explore a world unfamiliar to me. The studies of sculptures and paintings I found very broadening. During this class I wrote a paper on the painting, "The Last Supper". I was able to gain an understanding of what the painting meant and how it developed. I found it interesting how the true meaning of this painting is about how we perceive others and judge outward appearances. Suddenly the replica of this painting hanging in my grandmother's dining room all those years made more sense.
