Honor English Class Analysis

Greetings Mrs. Judy,

I am excited for being in your honors English class this first semester. I am looking forward to excelling in your class and continuing the second semester with Mrs. Williams-Korbel. My sophomore year at Saugus seems to look like a great one!

I love challenging myself in school taking the most difficult courses available. I am usually a very quiet and polite student who loves to listen to the instructor and complete all assignments on time and precisely. Most of my peers see me as a kind, honest, smart and caring person who can be trusted in the any time of need.

Kindness is always how I would like to be treated, but I will still continue to treat even the most disrespectful with kindness. The easiest way to get along with me is to listen to my fellow peers’ critiques and compliments. I dislike

I consider myself as a proficient writer because I have placed at or above average on many state writing samples. My favorite topics to write about are the World Wars, the military, technology and the universe.

The strengths I possess in English are writing, grammar and analyzing different works of literature, except poems. My weaknesses are advanced spelling and writing artistic forms of literature. I would love to include my weaknesses to my strengths sooner than later. Acquiring an “A” in this class is my goal, so that I’m able to advance to higher English eleven my junior year.

This year I am currently taking AP Euro, H. geometry, H. English, engineering, AP physics, and law and criminal justice. I am challenging myself to the most difficult classes Saugus has to offer me, as a sophomore. Next year I’ll be taking classes at College of the Canyons, including foreign language, mathematics and possibly many others. This year and the years to come are going to be pretty

    Preventing the immoral actions while teaching the trust, the school had to maintain but fully explain about the honor codes. From the few schools, there was an already disputation towards the honor codes such as ‘students did not fully understand the role of an honor code; many saw it as another rule to obey“(Source B) which would lead to elimination of honor code, simultaneously loss of both students and school’s trust.

    English 126 is a writing course in which we focus on literature. Through this course we analyzed and discussed short stories and poems specifically. This allowed me to develop my ability to analyze literature overall and be able to imply it to a new context. This skill is practiced through our formal and informal essays in which we write about our understanding and views on the topics we discuss. Peer review and workshopping also was an important factor in developing my writing as you can hear from multiple people their opinion on how your essay is progressing.…

    1) Honestly, I believe that my writing in this class reveals that I am not a great writer and I am not fluent in English, at all. Even though I have passed the California English (or ESL) standard test for English learner or students that have English as a second language, however, I am still not very proficient in the language. For example, I have a difficult time pronouncing the plurals when I read something out loud and I still continue to make simple grammar mistakes in my writing. Furthermore, my recent writing assignments have been improved, thanks to Paper Rater. Additionally, I am very surprised and proud at the same time to think that I can keep up with the high honor expectations in an honor English class.…

    A few months ago, when I was still in high school as a Senior I was placed in an AP English course because of the program I was in. The program placed all the students in the course regardless of if they were considered AP English ready. During the course, there were over several writing assignments, each on novels or quotes. However, my teacher kept informing me that my writing needs to improve to reach the college level. Yet I continued to complete assignments without understanding the mistakes, simply to earn the grade for because I turned an essay in.…

    Ms. Fox's college English class is hard because it’s a lot of work. A lot of work means multiple things to do each week such as reading and writing every week for the entire semester. According to Fox's syllabus, students can expect about 4 hours of homework each week. Four hours for one class is a lot because students may have other classes and jobs each week. Juggling and making time to do the work is what makes the class hard.…

    Throughout the first semester of English 101, I have learned not only many new writing styles and vocabulary words, but also I have learned a few things about myself. I have a passion for writing and I would love to continue to aggrandize my vocabulary, and continue learning new writing tactics.

    Through my experiences with writing essays in high school, I have noticed a few strengths and weaknesses with my writing. My main strength is the structure of my writing. I know what to say when I need to so I don’t tend to ramble on to tangents. Another strength I have is writing about topics that I love because I can just spill all my thoughts out onto paper and never have to worry about having enough sentences.…

    Describe Yourself As A Writer I’ve come to realize that after years of writing papers, I’m actually a better writer than I give myself credit for. I’ve noticed over time that I’ve advanced in how I structure my paragraphs, however, not so much with my sentences. It’s like making a cake look delicious at first glance with frosting and decorations, but then you take a bite and there 's way too much sugar or it 's overcooked in the inside. My strength in writing includes: using better words to describe what I’m writing about, spelling complex words, creativity, and passion.…

    How to become a better English Student Have you ever wondered how you’re going to do in a class and the result you end up with? Well that’s my exact thought when signing up for English 111. I had already taken this course once and things didn’t go as well as I thought they would. I started off pretty good and knew I was going to pass, but at the end of the semester I guess me and the teacher had a different outlook on how well I did.

    When I started this year off I had no idea how hard the curriculum actually was for an English class at the college level. This made my under-preparedness show in much of my early works and my understanding of upper level novels. Once into the class, I could see myself actually growing as a student in all aspects of school not just this class. Although my journey through this class has not been the easiest I have found the benefits of this higher level of thinking which allows for much brighter horizon in more advanced schooling and further into my career field of chose. Even though I may not have started out as strongly as I may have liked to I have found a place in the class and manage to continue to surprise myself with what I can produce…

    I remembered when I looked at my schedule in August and I saw this class, I was nervous because I’m not that good at writing or expressing my ideas on papers. My grammars are really bad too. I thought that I would have a lot of trouble with this class, because I had some bad experience in my English class from high school. But when I met Lauren, she was a lot different than what I thought. She was nice, friendly, and I can tell from the first class that she’s a fun and understandable person.…
