English 1102 Course Analysis

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.

During the first semester of English 1301, I have learned so much that before I hadn’t comprehended. This class has teached me to write what is my passion and explain my thoughts thoroughly. The classes I took before were mostly teaching the arts of writing essays in which the not much was learned. This class made an exception for me to challenge myself and try to succeed in becoming a better writer. I feel as I have learned more in these 16 weeks than have in the last two years of highschool english.

1. Many students have confessed that there is a prevailing belief that English 1101 is not a serious

Before taking on the challenge of critical reading, writing, and researching, I would like to

Encompassed in this portfolio for the English 125 course are revisions of Project #1, “What Do They Have to Say?”, and Project #3, the research paper. The central reasoning for my decision to revise these essays is due to an interest I hold in their topics. These topics include the hidden dangers of the food industry, such as the mistreatment of animals, as well as the epidemic of childhood obesity in the United States of America. These topics are similar in that they both revolve around food as well as an injustice in the world. When reading through these two essays, I noticed a great deal of structural errors as well as a few grammatical errors that I had not noticed prior. When reading through Project #1, I noticed that I had made a few

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

I believe that I deserve a solid A in English 250 because I have worked very hard in this course and learned many valuable information that will be useful later in my life. Especially this summer because I will be taking a speech class at a community college. I have grown in the learning aspect of this English course, but also in many other areas as well like speaking up in class which I don’t normally do in my other classes due to the number of students and I am just a shy person. Also in this course, I get to work with others in small groups and be a team player from participating in the group discussions and sharing my thoughts about a certain topic. I have been able to analyze many parts of grammar and resources that have urged me to further

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.

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.

8:45 a.m. on a Tuesday; it is time to go to my English class. Excited and curious on what my classmates and I will read. Spending hours reading passages, short stories, fiction and learning how to analyze them developed my passion for reading. I’ve lived many lives and I’ve traveled to many parts of the world because I spend my free time reading novels. The way I see it, there’s a world in every book. Books aren’t just made up of sentences and paragraphs. Books are filled with lessons and meaning.

my understanding of themes and ideas such as gender, violence, and privacy and has advanced my sense of critical thinking. It has supplied me with the tools needed to analyze daunting texts which would have been seen as beyond my abilities. This class has enabled me to relate what is currently going on in our modern-day American society with what goes on in the various types of places described in the great works that we read. Over the course of this school year I have also learned some things about myself that I had never known before. This has led to a self-actualization that I would have never saw coming and has changed my views on life in ways I did not think possible.

English is an international language and it is almost compulsory in many countries. In my eight week of English 151B class, I have learned that how important it is for a college student to write effectively while arranging proper thoughts in a paragraph. It is very important to focus yourself while writing about a topic. I have learned about the importance of writing in a good organized way with proper punctuation.

Upon reading the syllabus for English 10, my excitement grew for the enduring commitment of this advanced literary class. Personally, I enjoy struggling in my academic career; if assignments and reading material were always easy to comprehend, how would we learn? I am a firm believer that true learning comes from periods of struggle and critical thinking, fueling my desire to enter English 10.
