...A. Topic This is a recommendation to start a new summer program for children with the purpose to encourage reading. The new program will be entitled “Read and Feed Crafts Program” and will be available to children ranging in age 18 months to 16 years. The children will receive a hot lunch, and a free library card. They could spend time reading, playing games, or learning different crafts. It also includes reading incentives for independent reading for reading to others. The program would run for six weeks between the hours of 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Suggestions for funding would include securing a Title I grant (Education, 2011). There are some low income families living in this neighborhood. In addition, the library could seek the assistance of volunteers to participate in the program. B. Purpose The purpose is to encourage the library to consider the idea of setting up this new program in the community during the summer time to encourage the children to enhance their reading skills and development of relationships with their peers. Summer is a great time to encourage children to read books. Reading will help to improve literacy skills and better prepare children for the upcoming school year. One of the best ways to get a child reading is to allow them to pick books they want to read about topics that interest them. Many of the children in the area of the library are from low income families and do not readily have the opportunity to experience something...

...people's minds, the lottery is associated with pride, wealth, and fame, but what if the lottery was associated with execution? In Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery,” the lottery takes place in the middle of town in every year. One by one, families step up when their names are called and pull a single slip of paper from the infamous black box- in which the slips of paper lay. As each slip of paper is pulled, people cross their fingers, hoping that they will not be the winner. The lottery may seem like a positive game in which the winner receives riches, but dark secrets await in the black box. In “The Lottery,” Shirley Jackson uses the black box, stones, and the character's names to symbolize a dark somber mood....

...Mr. Macomber English 3 AP Syllabus 1.5 English 3 AP Course Overview Students in this introductory college-level course read and carefully analyze a broad and challenging range of nonfiction prose selections, deepening their awareness of rhetoric and how language works. Through close reading and frequent writing, students develop their ability to work with language and texts in order to establish greater awareness of purpose and strategy, while strengthening their own composing abilities. C16 Students examine rhetoric in essays, images, movies, novels, and speeches. They frequently confer about their writing by conferencing in class. C 14 Feedback is given both before and after students revise their work to help them develop logical organization, enhanced by specific techniques to increase coherence. Rhetorical structures, graphic organizers, and work on repetition, transitions, and emphasis are addressed. I comment on individual drafts, and I write memos to the class in a blog about whole-class concerns such as specificity of quotations, parallelism, and transitions. C13 Simultaneously, students review the simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentence classifications. We examine word order, length, and surprising constructions. Loose and periodic sentences are introduced. We examine sample sentences and discuss how change affects tone, purpose, and credibility of the author/speaker. In addition, feedback on producing sentence structure variety...

...China. Today, in the 21st century, hundreds of years latter the lottery has not changed much. It is still a gambling game, which people choose to play, hoping to win a prize, and the money is still use for government projects. 2) What good questions can you ask as you read the story that will help you understand the story on a deeper level? • Why does the writer mention the pile of stones and how are they connected to the rest of the story? • What is the reason the writer mentions that Mr. Summers had no children and that wife is scold? And why does she mention it with his job? • What was the reason of the hesitation among the villagers when Mr. Summers asked for some help? • Why do the villagers not want to replace the old lottery box with a new one? Why is the old box so important to them if it is just an old box for the lottery? • Why does Watson the boy draw for himself and his mother? Where is the father? • Why when the distribution of papers is over, when everybody ask “who got it”, did they ask especially about Dunbars and Watsons? Is there a connection to the fact that in both of these cases the father was not there and...

At first, I was a bit skeptical about taking English 1301 this summer in an unknown university, but upon entering Ms. Sanchez’s English 1301 class, it opened my eyes. I had a whole new perspective in not only reading, but also on everyday life situations. The first two times I took English 1301, I was not fully understanding the concept of the text I was reading.

...Writing Diagnostic Adam B. Summers equips a combination of evidence, reasoning, and style to build a convincing argument to prove why plastic shopping bags should not be banned. The assertive, logical, yet empathetic tone grabs the reader's attention and persuades them to agree with Summers’ point. The numerous facts throughout the paper effectively back up Summers’ argument. After he makes a claim, he provides examples and facts to further explain his point. For example, he first claims that the “claims that plastic bags are [worse] for the environment than paper bags… are dubious at best” and then follows with the results of a study that state that “plastic grocery bags produce fewer greenhouse gases [than paper bags],” which convinces...

...material from his heart. He was making sure that everybody had understood the lesson before they leave. This helped me mold my papers into perfection with the help of Mrs. Kahn’s exceptional editing skills. He taught me how to write a paper that only I could come up with. He encouraged me to do this by using different writing techniques. A teacher that doesn’t take himself too seriously always will be a big hit with teenagers, although he’s not afraid to impose his authority if he has to. He would open every lesson in a disciplined manner by quickly silencing the class and getting on with the work while still having his bright positive attitude. This was a rarity at my school because my peers would typically waste the first twenty minutes of class. Mr. Kahn showed his students that he actually cared if we learned from his lessons or not. He made sure to get to know us on a personal level as well. We all had a relationship with him and knew if we ever needed anything he would be there. He had a very unique way of teaching. I was so used to the type of english teacher that throws you the common (but required) english class books; To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Of Mice and Men, or any Shakespeare novel, and tells you to write an essay on it. But surprisingly, Mr. Kahn encouraged everyone to read whatever text we happened to be reading on our own...
