Reflective Cover Letter Throughout the first months of the course I have to been able to learn a variety of techniques as a writer that has helped me tremendously in my essays and other classes. I’ve learned to analyze readings and identify different techniques authors use to persuade the reader as well as how to write an essay on how the author uses these in the article. In writing rhetorical analysis I have learned to summarize rhetorically analysis and lastly respond to the articles I read in
great trepidation. The upperclassmen I am familiar with constantly spoke of how rigorous the course was; however, now that I have spent 6 weeks in History 1301, I realize that the class itself is not hard, but rather, it requires preparation, thought, and dedication. In regards to the first 6 weeks, I feel I was well prepared for each class. I took notes in my journal for each video, primary source, and secondary source- which I can prove. Though I chose not to use APPARTS for some assignments, I
learns more. In the essay “Do It Better” by Ben Carson, Carson claims to be the dumbest kid in class because of the poor grades that he receives in class one day. Carson explains how reading changed his life growing up as a kid. Carson claims to be the dumbest kid in class, reading books changed Carson’s life and with the help of his mother he was able to succeed in class. Carson talks about his personal experience as a fifth grade student. I feel like his very detailed in his essay and he gave great
We started this week with different subjects, it was a bit of a hard and fast transition from narrative, to process, to comparison and contrast essay. I feel the level of the subject matter is increasing, which is also making it harder to keep up, but this is what I’ve got so far: The structure that I have used before is subject by subject in the comparison/contrast essay, I think that’s the easiest option to write this essay. The point-by-point method mixes up both subjects in one paragraph, I think
During my first few weeks at college, I was grateful that my professor made us write a practice essay and she personally read my essay. I was grateful because she notice my mistakes and gave me great suggestions on how to improve my writing. When she told me what my weakness were it gave me a great chance to strength my writing skills by looking at my weakness. I need to improve on different areas such as grammar and how to be creative in my writing. I think the best solution to improve my grammar
As far as everyone knows, school is not the most fun. From your first day of preschool until your last days of high school, you dread the thought of school. I can remember back to my first days of middle school, when things began to get a little more complicated. The day I walked into my English class, was the day I knew my 6th grade was going to be terrible. The teacher introduced himself, and told the class that this was going to be one of the hardest classes we will ever take. I couldn’t figure
During the 12 weeks of English lessons, I have been improving my overall English performance. Before starting the lessons, I was so nervous because I knew it course mainly focused on writing skills. Writing is the weakest part of me among the four domains, namely reading, writing, listening and speaking. When I studied in the secondary school, I usually scored low marks or even failed in my essays. Therefore, I was so scared that I would face the same situation that in the secondary school. However
Beginning junior year, a representative part of the Chris Christie campaign came to my school asking for volunteers to help in the campaign. The opportunity to be a part of the campaign sounded so interesting and so different to the volunteering I have done in the past. After reaching out to the representative of the Christie campaign, he assured me that I got the job. The job would begin in a week, but I still wasn't so sure as to what I would be doing. I mean, how can a 16 year old really be involved
debate last Friday, most people changed their answers to no. We’ve read 2 articles during last week that can be very controversial to this debate. Jena McGregor states that no, America does not cherish diversity, but Eboo Patel’s view addresses that America does cherish its diversity. In my opinion, I think that America DOES NOT cherish diversity. I will be getting in depth more as we continue. First of which, time has shown us that America is not welcoming to different races. An example can be
lot of thought and time devoted to it. Having to write an essay almost every week can feel like when many people are talking to you at once and you don’t know who to listen to, it’s overwhelming. When looking back into my past writing experiences, the one that immediately comes to my head would be when I had to write an essay talking about a cause that we wanted to contribute to and how we were going to do it. I would have been just fine if my teacher hadn’t said we had to present it to the class, I
