So far, I have had great experiences with the English curriculum and teachers throughout Mohansic, Crompond, and Mildred E. Strang and I am sure 9th grade English will be just as enjoyable. I hope to delve deeply into this subject next year to broaden my mind and gain a better understanding of reading, writing, and life in general. I believe that Honors English will be the class for me since I love reading, and I am motivated to improve my writing. I don’t mind how rigorous the course is, as long as I challenge myself, and I mature into a better reader and writer.
As an English student, I have many desirable traits, and numerous undesirable qualities as well. I do not have a natural aptitude for English, but my undeterred motivation to learn
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.
Being in honors English for my freshman year of high school would be a great opportunity to further my growth.. English is a vital, branching off of every core subjects such as Math, Science and Social Studies.Throughout my past education years , I have set my `expectations at a higher level,trying to have further knowledge of the subject. I feel that by being in Honors English, I will continue to challenge myself in ways I have never been offered by before. This course will place me in an atmosphere where I will be able to continue to work to my highest potential, with higher expectations from my teachers. I also believe being in honors English, will better prepare me for upcoming AP courses and my future college career. By perusing this
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
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
An application, transcript, or essay cannot fully capture who I am on the inside. There are a plethora of characteristics that go unseen by people without getting to know me personally. Besides a student who is ambitious, grade conscientious, and a quick learner, I also help out anywhere I can outside of school.
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.
I am interested in taking English 9 Honors because I hope my future career will be based on English skills such as writing and reading. In my future, I hope to be a lawyer, which is a more difficult job and I will need an advanced level of English skills. I thought taking an advanced level of English will help me reach my goal of becoming a lawyer. I also decided to take this class because I really love and understand the topic of English. I have always loved to read on my own time and in school and adored writing, from poems to stories and many other writing forms. Since I have the pretty good understanding of English I want to work harder to learn more about English skills. In English 9 honors my expectations regarding this class is a more
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.
For Honors English, expect more reading and writing. We didn't read a lot of books but we got a ton of time consuming projects along with them that involved a lot of writing. Some of the books we read were Romeo and Juliet (it's lengthy and gets kinda boring), Fahrenheit 451, Anthem, and the Count of Monte Cristo which was our summer reading book. Note make sure
I feel I should be recommended for Honors English 9 because this will stay with me and I mature and move on with my life. I will rise to the challenge of harder work. Being in this honor course will allow me to prepare for my future and deal with intense situations because I will be having a heavier workload. Honors English will work at a faster pace but they will cover the material with more understanding so that I will learn beyond what they would teach in a regular course. Another reason why is that this course will help me in the future when I am applying for a university because they will know that I am capable of handling challenging course load therefore they will know that I am serious about my academics. This course will allow me to
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.
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
In my opinion, through joining National English Honour Society, I may be able to gain a creative outlet in the subject I am passionate about. My greatest passion is learning new things, and exploring areas that interest me. Furthermore, meeting others that have the same passion for English would be enjoyable. Through this society, I would love to explore and help the community by reading to children, or doing community service related to English. I would love to tutor and help others who struggle in English, since I was not always a strong writer. Most of all however, my goal is to inspire others to have the same passion as I do in learning, even if they find it in another subject area.
According to the Public Schools of North Carolina the definition of an AIG/Honors student is: “Academically or intellectually gifted students perform at substantially high levels of accomplishments when compared with others their age, experience, or environment. AIG students exhibit high performance capability in intellectual areas, specific academic fields, or in both. AIG students require differentiated education services beyond those ordinarily provided by the regular educational program. Outstanding abilities are present in students from all cultural groups, across all economic strata, and in all areas of human behavior.”
