How Did I Succeed In My APDC English Class
One of the decisions I made that helped me succeed in my APDC English class was to work harder than my classmates, because success belongs only to those who are willing to work harder than anyone else To illustrate, my first assignment was a columnist project that I have to annotate and soapstone an article, and write a rhetorical précis and a critical response paragraph. I was worried about the grammar and punctuation of my project since English is my second language.In addition, I started my project two weeks before the due date to make sure I had the enough amount of time to fix any grammar error and to make an exemplary project. When I got back my project, I felt very proud of myself because I got a higher grade than many of my classmates

    National Honor Society's Accomplishments

    One reason that I am so proud of my high school academic accomplishments, is because I struggled with my grades in grade school. Because of these struggles, I realized that I needed to work hard to obtain good grades. In high school, my work ethic helped me attain good grades and be nominated for the National Honor Society. According to the National Honor Society, only about…

    Self Evaluation In One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

    The most single important piece of knowledge I have gained in English class this year was the fact that if you work hard enough and put effort into your work, in the end, it will result in good things further ahead in the future. My level of effort on my assignment this year so far has been not so great than what I wanted it to be. I can say that it’s due to the fact that I am partially lazy and I may not find the topic so interesting but either way, one has to do the work and you might as well enjoy it. I didn’t actually do my best quality work. I who have like to try, but sadly I did not. My best moments I have had in class was when we all read “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and when we watched the movie version of the…

    Ap English Language Evaluation

    When I pulled Billy from his class for the evaluation, he was open and easily talked with me. It was apparent Billy came ready to give his best effort, but he grew tired of testing as time went on. When Billy encountered difficult test items, he would become frustrated, give up without giving much effort, and speak poorly of himself when he did not know the answer to problems. He appeared bored at times, and he expressed anxiousness to return to class as the session continued. Throughout the evaluation, Billy had a mature pencil grip and often held down his paper with his left hand, while writing with his right hand.…

    Pollard: Summary And Analysis

    I had to plan ahead in order to make sure that I accomplish the assignments for this class while still attending the board meetings for the organizations I was a part of. By looking at my Participation paper I was there for a majority of my class days and the only reason I missed class was because of really bad allergies and when I received bronchitis for week and a half. By going to class I was able to get tips on how to make my work better and how to accomplish the tasks given to us better thus making it less stressful for me to finish the project meaning I was more likely to finish the project earlier than the time given to us. When I realized that going to class and doing my work before the due date made me less stressed out I tried my hardest to always finish my work in all my class on time making me have a less stressful week. Another example of my improvement in this area is when we look at my Communication improvement profile paper written in the beginning of the year. I wrote the paper the night before and really didn’t look at the rule brick on how everything needed to be organized. When looking at this paper I followed the rule brick the best I can and wrote this paper before the due date allowing me to continually correct the grammar mistakes I have made and other problems that could have been found in this paper. Taking…

    As a requirement for graduation from my high school, I had to do an assignment. The assignment was a health project that was a month long, which you had to do an essay and a presentation with a power point. What you had to do was convince your class to change a law that is present now in todays seciaty. In doing this assignment, I experienced scarcity in many ways. The problem I was having was, I was scarce of time. At the the time, I was traveling a lot with my soccer team all over America for showcases and championships. This set me back so much because I was not doing the assignment when I was over their. I had a lot of time to finish this project, but because of everything else I had going on in my life, I really only had five days to complete a month long project. Thids scarcity led to do me doing worse on the assignment.…

    How I Become Clueless In The English Classroom

    When it was time to choose the video that “related to me the most” I become clueless. Looking around the English classroom, I was hoping to find a few other confused and distracted faces, but instead, when the teacher asked the class if we had some good ideas, everyone was obediently nodding. All I could think about was how well these videos were directed and how clever they were. Then I was left thinking, am I that uncreative and unoriginal? Surely it couldn’t be that hard to string 500 words together on my thoughts about a one minute video I watched – but it was.…

    Personal Narrative: Why I Have No Fear Failure Is Here?

    Me being the impatient but helpful person I am I said “yeah sure”. So I moved this little box that any kid in my class could have easily moved outside of her moving it herself. She stopped what she was doing at her cabinet and she showed me my final exam grade and it said 89% B+. A surprised me began smiling excited that I would pass the class with almost a B average for the year. She looked at me and said “T, you are smart. You have given me 40% effort and still somehow you still have managed to pass my class, I struggle dealing with students who are incapable but try hard every single day and you don't show me any effort and still manage to do have a decent grade…” “Why are you afraid? You are easily one of the most gifted students I have encountered and you show no effort?”. I just sat there lost and confused and wondered how she knew and wonder why I had wasted all this time not living up to my full potential, I had let my fear of failure keep me from being the best student I could be. I now look at it and regret the decisions I made in the past. Everyday i have learned to allow myself have higher expectations than I have before. There was a lesson in what my teacher said to me and I will…

    Ap English Language Teaching

    In the 21st Century, what it means to be literate is rapidly changing. I believe that this change requires students to be equipped with a high level of literacy skills to enable them to become critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers who continue to expand their skills, and use them independently and collaboratively. Throughout this report, I have explored the theoretical influences that have impacted the way I view the teaching and learning of Australian English literacy education. Through the examination and analysis of didactic, authentic, functional and critical pedagogies, have explained why a combination of pedagogies is necessary to provide a balanced approach when delivering 21st Century English literacy education.…

    English 111 Reflective Report

    Two areas in which my progress has increased is completing peer reviews and writing conventions. I was very comfortable in completing my peer reviews when we did complete them. Now I feel that I can give more detailed feedback, from the feedback I have received during the semester. I have grown in this area from receiving information and feedback from my essays during my conferences. Also, paper raters feedback has helped me help others. I have always done good on my writing conventions, I thought. Spelling has not been a problem while taking this class, my grammar and punctuation have been the problem. I installed Grammarly onto my computer at the beginning of the semester, which has helped me tremendously on my grammar and some on my punctuation. Paper Rater has helped me tremendously on my punctuation. Paper Rater and Grammarly has helped me place commas and semi-colons and etc., in the right…

    One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Critical Analysis

    Throughout this year, I have seen myself grow as a writer as well as a person. Starting off first semester with low A’s on my papers (except for Canterbury Tales which is still my favorite story I have ever written), I worked hard to receive and maintain high A’s on the majority of the papers. Unfortunately, I have never received a 100 on a paper because I always have three or four grammatical errors but if that was the only reason I got off points on my paper, then I’m totally okay with it.…

    This semester I was definitely challenged. I was not quite ready for the amount of homework I was going to receive for all my classes. For instance, English 102-06 the work itself is intense, there is a lot of reading and writing. I tried to make a class schedule to accommodate my job, study time, and time for my four year old daughter. I am fully aware what are my weaknesses are as a writer just as; I know what my strengths are as a writer. Each day I feel it is a struggle for me; however, I will not give up. I’ve come too far. Every day I am learning what is expected of me as a writer. I am learning what to do and what not to do.…

    Dog Ate My Disk

    As I read this article, it actually made me laugh because some of the excuses I have used myself. Although it is bad to turn in an assignment late, it is not bad to make an excuse to make up for it. After all, it’s all for our sake. If the instructor let us go with it, then we’re good. But that doesn’t mean we can do it again. In this kind of situations, first is alright, but never expect a second time because any instructors would definitely doubt a second time. This article is an irony because it shows how the excuses made the teachers believe to not believe the students as time…
