...Research papers made me stop liking writing because they had a lot of requirements and I don’t like doing research. I also use to like reading too but I find research boring so that also made me stop liking reading. I did not find any interest in reading or writing about research topics because history is my least favorite class. Every year of high school so far is a different type of writing in every english class. It started out in 6th grade with creative stories, 7th grade with holocaust research essay, 8th grade essays, 9th grade reading stories, 10th grade I had AP english so we did reflection essays over the book we had to read every quarter and that was very hard to me and made english my worst subject. Although, now that I’m in 11th grade english, I am starting to like english a little. I like how we have our own choice of books we want to read and the 10 minutes of reading everyday. I prefer free writing, like we get a topic and go from there, but doing research and having to have a lot of pages and all those requirements, is what i don’t...

...in my English 090 class. My teacher’s name was Josh Lane, but the class just called him Josh. I went into the course with the assumption that I would only have to compose simple paragraph papers while also learning the ropes of grammatical writing. I was sadly mistaken. Through the semester Josh gave the class five writing assignments. They ranged from three to five pages long. Out of all the writing assignments I received my favorite was a four page paper I had to write an allegory of myself. My least favorite was a five page paper the whole class had to write. About mid semester, when my hand only had a tingle, Josh lectured about Plato’s “A Allegory of the Cave.” Thus giving me my next challenging task he had in store. I had to compose an allegory of myself while explaining the concept of the Plato’s allegory. I had to dissect the symbolism in Plato’s allegory and prove how it coincided with my own allegory. What made this objective so interesting, yet so strenuous was the fact that my allegory had to be based upon a difficult time I have had in my life. My essay was littered with very detailed descriptors of my dreadful situation and Plato’s allegory. That is why this particular essay was my favorite. I8 was able to take a seemingly arduous task and break it down, in my own words, so that a reader would be able to comprehend “The Allegory of the Cave,” and still be able to relate to my allegory. The last essay due came just before my hand fell off. Before the class took our...

...College English Name: ________________________ The 20 Rules of Subject Verb Agreement in Standard English (1-4) 1. Subjects and verbs must agree in number. This is the cornerstone rule that forms the background of the concept. The dog growls when he is angry. The dogs growl when they are angry. 2. Don’t get confused by the words that come between the subject and verb; they do not affect agreement. The dog, who is chewing on my jeans, is usually very good. 3. Prepositional phrases between the subject and verb usually do not affect agreement. The colors of the rainbow are beautiful. 4. When sentences start with “there” or “here,” the subject will always be placed after the verb, so care needs to be taken to identify it correctly. There is a problem with the balance sheet. Here are the papers you requested. Day 1 – Determine whether or not the following sentences are correct. If they are incorrect, make the necessary adjustments. 1. There are extra butter in the refrigerator. 2. My mother, along with the other representatives, are going to the convention. 3. A player on the Vikings are going to sign autographs at the mall this Saturday. 4. My sister eat paste. 5. This Tuesday, John, as well as his friends, is driving to the rock concert. 6. Runners on the team is being tested for performance enhancing drugs. 7. Dad and mom yells at me when I play my music too loud. 8. Here are a plate of Oreo cookies. 9.

...When I look back to my journey throughout AP Lit, it’s hard to believe it has been a whole year already. At the same time, I can’t believe it has only been a year. This class has made my days brighter and has been a great way to start the morning second semester. My favorite choice book to analyze was The Handmaid’s Tale. I think it might have to do with the fact that we did the journal project with it, so I had to go more into depth than normal when writing about it. I actually ended up recommending it to my sister to use for her final project in English. The not so distant future described in this book absolutely fascinated me. I’ve always been a fan of dystopian/utopian societies, so when I heard about the concept of this book I...

...more important higher order concerns: audience, pathos and genre conventions. Previously, the reference to the audience for my blog was vague and practically missing. By adding the fact that “one of the primary uses of this blog is for my English 1020 class at Wayne State University,” I was able to hone in on my prospective audience: my professor and fellow classmates. Next, I added in more details about myself to help the reader feel better connected to me. By stating where I lived through my life and what country I identity myself as being from, as well as one of my biggest goals in life, I am allowing future readers to know me and my writing, not just the latter. Finally, I attempted to improve my use of genre conventions. About Me pages typically include a reason why the writer started a blog, so I included that. Also, I tried to be more interactive with my readers by asking them to provide feedback to my blogs, another characteristic of the genre. In terms of the Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs), I feel I have made significant progress in writing, reading, research and reflecting (some more than others) so for this semester. I am excited to see how much further I can improve in these categories, as they are essential not only for English and other...

Upon some students’ request, Cookienator intended to start up a website to publish cooking steps and recipes so that students can learn directly from home and save travelling cost and time.

Each individual have their own likes and dislikes so by giving them options to learn by themselves allows them to fully utilize the resources provided and Otoke group is chosen by cookbook magazine to set up a website for Cookienator. Our project includes designing a website where those who are learning from home can successfully understand and easily follow the instructions and guidance provided.

...1940, with one of the largest classes the school ever saw. She loved school, and her favorite subjects were English, math, and music. She played every sport and joined everything there was to join. Hilda took chemistry and biology, and was one of only two girls. She also studied ancient history, French, and Latin. She took piano lessons for seven years, played the trombone in the school marching band, and loved to sing. Though there weren't many dances at Bangor High, there was a dance hall on the street she lived, and she went and danced there often. There were several differences between school when she was a teenager and now. At Bangor High, there was no lunch provided, so students walked home to eat instead of in a school cafeteria. There were no school busses, and almost no high schoolers had their own cars. Parents didn't interfere much, so it was really up to you as a student to do well and graduate. If you got in trouble, you were expected to take care of it yourself. They also had to wear white and maroon uniforms, which were the school colors. Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores attended school in the mornings, while the freshmen went during the afternoon....

...Creative writing was one of my favorite classes. It was the class I looked forward to because your imagination could run wild. Yes there are projects you have to do, and deadlines you need to meet but that is a part of life. I was always a shy kid in school but this class did help me open up a little bit. We had a project where we needed to make an iMovie about a meaningful time in your life. I put time and work into mine and I was proud of it. When Mrs. Jepsen asked if anyone wanted to go first, I volunteered. I never volunteered to go first in any other class before. After my iMovie was over everyone just had so many great things to say about it. Every since that moment, I was less scared about presenting in front of the class. If you like...

I love the culture and food from there but sometimes I don’t really like eating Mexican food from home because it’s not the same. I’m taking English Composition 1 because I’m taking my basic courses in college. I love English, it was my favorite class in High School. I liked writing essays and writing in a journal, it took me away from the days when I was feeling bad. I remember one day when we had to pick a book to read in a group. I picked the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. My favorite author would definitely be F. Scott Fitzgerald because he really surprised me with the way he described Daisy, Nick, and Gatsby. I was really excited when I heard that the book was going to be a movie. I even read the book a second time when I finished watching the blockbuster. I’ve always wanted to write something and turn it into a movie. I’m studying for an Associates in Radio- Television- Film. I’m graduating in 4 years in 2017. I’ve always loved movies and writing ideas down for videos. The best video I did was a skit about The Great Gatsby for my English class in junior year.

In the future I’m going to take some Film courses in college and try to make something fun and meaningful in the future. I...

...As a child my favorite subject often changed by who was teaching the class. I didn’t realize that I was actually smart until eight grade. At that time, my favorite subject was Spanish. I also enjoyed my Social Studies class- especially the subjects on the Civil War and women’s rights. In High School, I dabbled in a little physical science. The teacher taught in multiple ways. She knew that everybody learned in a different way, so she tried to accommodate everybody. That’s when my English skill came about. I had a few poems published in different books. I also advanced in math and basically all of my classes. In my junior year, I started taking agricultural classes which extend into my senior year. As a senior, I took advanced courses in English and Math. I hadn’t taken one Sociology class at this point. My favorite non-circular activity was golf. I didn’t play often and I wasn’t good at it, but I loved it. I engulfed myself in Agriculture. I wanted to be a veterinarian, I was the Vice President of my FFA chapter, and I was showing both pigs and a steer at my local fair. I was proud of my position as the FFA vice president, through them I had competed in many different competitions and had won! I found out that I was good at communication and speeches, I was good at memorizing breeds of animals and I was a good leader. When I graduated high school I started taking agricultural classes at the college level and I hated it. My “On Course” class required us to plan out what we wanted...

...LITERACY NARRATIVE Literacy Narrative Tyler Francis English 191 September 12, 2012 I've loved to read and write ever since I was taught my ABC's for the first time. It's been a huge part of my life in a lot of different aspects. I learned how to read when I was three years old because I went to a daycare where I was the youngest kid and the only one who couldn't read. Reading and writing just stuck with me after that. After I started reading better than my older daycare-mates, school was ready for me to conquer. The school put me with older kids right away and I was in English class with 3rd graders when I was in kindergarten. It helped me out with making friends and I always got along with older kids better than my own classmates. Elementary school is my favorite time of my life so far, because of all of the little things I learned from school and the kids that were around me and I don't think it would have been even close to how fun it was if it weren't for me being able to read so young. My love for reading stayed with me through junior high and high school too. I started reading more historical and biographical books than adventure and story books as I got older. My favorite books went from the “Harry Potter” series to Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln biographies. Starting in high school too, I got more into writing than before. I would try writing stories when I was in 4th or 5th grade, but I could never write more than two pages without me changing the whole...

When it comes to my favorite place, there are a lot of good place to visit in Korea and I went there many times. However, my favorite place is in Canada. Last year I made up my mind to go to Canada not only to experience different cultures, but to study how to speak English well. Calgary in Canada is my favorite place because of some characteristic : A tourist attraction, friend, food. Even though I went to Calgary through working holiday program visa to work and study English, many tourist attractions tempted me into enjoying them. The Calgary Stampede which is the biggest festival in Canada is an annual rodeo, exhibition and festival held every July in Calgary. As soon as I got to the festival, there were a lot of people from other countries. It looked like vehicles were bumper to bumper. Also, delicious hot dogs was tempting me to buy them, giving off attractive smell. In the middle of the festival were horrible rides and rodeo event in which cowboys show different skills, including riding wild horses, catching cattle with ropes and a thrilling race. When I went into Calgary’s downtown, I could easily find a big tower, the Calgary Tower. The Calgary tower is the tallest structure in Calgary. When I arrived at the top floor of the Calgary tower, bright sunshine welcomed me with smile and the tower gave me a scenic view of downtown through a wide window....
