In reference to our team submission of the Negative message, we chose a writing style that fit the criteria for our particular assignment. Activity 7.11-(Customer bad news): Admission Message Erroneously Welcomes All Who Applied needed a gentle approach. In order for us to explain a large mistake the school made regarding all the students who applied, even those who received rejection letters; we needed a well-organized letter. We chose to open with a complimentary statement, which encouraged students to continue pursuing their academic dreams. We then chose to add the negative statement.…

For this assignment I decided to interview my English 111 professor; Michelle Christensen. I chose her because she is the type of person I want to be when I grow up. She is very outgoing, advanced and passionate about her work. She considers her leadership style to be similar to that of a transformational leader, who revolves around collaboration with students and working in reciprocity to one another. Throughout this interview, I not only learnt about a new leadership style, but I learnt a lot about my professor.…
Student Name: Noemi Bazaldua North canyon AVID will help me reach my goals that I have set myself by helping me be a better me. In many ways, not just educationally, but as a person. I’m not the best team worker, I sometimes really am bad at working with others and I wasn’t so good at turning in my work on time, but AVID right now is helping me with that, which helps me. AVID also encouraged me to try and do my very best. Though there were some problems along the way, which is normal, but I’m trying my best to remain strong.…
In Unit V, lessons one and two was an excellent guide to follow as I began the process of revising my literature review assignment. However, what I have discovered in the revision process that was most accommodating for me, was to read each sentence thoroughly to prevent sentence fragment, comma spices, and run-on-sentence. Also, I realized that after I had corrected and made necessary changes to my initial literature review, putting the project away for several hours and then returning helped me to eliminate unnoticed errors I had overlooked in my assignment.…
Throughout my time in English 101, my writing has undergone drastic improvements. The first writing assignment I chose to revise was Project 1, the Advertisement Analysis. My first draft of Project 1 had no clear thesis and no specific claim, ideally, an easy problem to solve. However, this was a common issue in my writing in most of my projects this semester, so it only made sense to tackle this project and revise it first. To begin revising Project 1, I first established my thesis statement which was that: the “Best Buds” advertisement was effective because of the incorporated rhetorical strategies and the overall theme of loyalty.…
A Wonderful Year Taught by the Wizard of Maz This year in Mrs. Mazur’s AP Language class, the students learned a lot of useful skills in rhetorical writing. The essays at the beginning helped in preparing the students for the actual AP Language test at the end of the year. The vocabulary packets helped in broadening the pupils’ vocabulary which led to better word choice in their essays. Basically, everything in Mrs. Mazur’s AP Language class helped in one way or another.…
4. Literature in 1920s reflected the uncertainty of the the time period perfectly. World War I left a questionable impact, leaving some people questioning the future of previous beliefs and traditions and also challenged people to make new discoveries. World War I caused writers and philosophers to question the new ways and accept the new ideas about reason and progress. Some people feared the ideas and what they would do to their past beliefs and some writers expressed their fears by writing deep, disturbing predictions about the present and future.…
Every form of literature has a meaning; some are hidden, others are straight forward and in plain sight. Literature can be sad, happy, dark, funny, complicated, and heart touching. However each piece of literature is distinctive and special in its own way. When starting to learn and study literature, reading takes on a new and different aspect. The study of literature requires critical thinking ability, recognizing different styles and forms, identifying the point of view, memorizing literary terms and looking beyond the obvious for meaning.…
I’m already planning on taking summer school to get that extra elective, and that can be AVID if I get accepted into the program. I’ll make sure that I meet the expectations to ensure that I can attend the best college for me.…
Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 1010 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. When I first started this course, I was scared and didn’t really know what to expect. I branched out to different styles and types of essays as well as incorporating outside sources into my work. When I received my first essay back with the feedback and the grade, I realized that I was not a really good writer.…
In 1821, Boston English High School opened it’s doors and became the first public high school ever. When it first opened it had an enrollment of 101 boys and no female students. It was placed on the corner of Derne Street and Temple Street, in Boston Massachusetts. It was a school opened for boys who did not plan to attend Harvard or could not afford it. I think that this school opening played a key role in educational history because public schools today give all kinds of students the opportunity to learn just as this one did.…
Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

On the most fundamental level, I suppose you could say that I am in your English 150 class to fulfill a requirement for graduation. I had an interest in improving my writing, particularly my basic grammar, and I would have likely been inclined to take this class anyway. Having a basic understanding of how to effectively communicate both in a discussion and on paper is an important skill for everybody, so it is no surprise this class is a requirement. In regard to my major, which is intended to be music theory, it soon becomes writing-heavy and I would definitely do not want to be less successful in my career because my writing was unorganized and was constantly violating simple rules of English. My formal writing experience has all…
