Literacy Class Reflection

Decent Essays
During this class, I've learned a bunch of new concepts. It was interesting to see how these new concepts were helping me to give some meaning to words like Kernel, virtual memory, buses, system clock,... that appears when booting my computer. Specially, this information is useful to change my computer configuration and assign resources according with my needs by manipulating the motherboard. Unfortunately, all this new knowledge is not going to help me with my major, nevertheless this class was worthy for my life, yet now I'm a computer literacy citizen.

    This English 101 class has helped me in variety of ways in gaining and shaping skills in writing. I learned how do compose several types of essays including: professional, informal, casual, cause and effect, and argumentative and was given the format for writing these.

    Learning to read is a skill many can obtain quickly or not so well. Myself, on the other hand was one of the many children who struggled with not only the thought of reading, but the actual process of reading not only a book, but sentences, word and sounding out words. Struggling through elementary with reading problems and on and off again help made it seem even worse. Going into kindergarten was intimidating, with all the bright colored posters with words even I couldn’t read. Having to be assigned seats next to strangers who soon would become my closest friends.…

    Literacy has always been an important part of my life, but in my early years, reading and writing was a tremendous challenge for me. When I reflect back on my childhood, I’m reminded of a variety of things, moments like going camping or riding a bicycle. But most importantly, being the oldest one and having to set an example for my sisters. It’s what I had to do since I was the oldest. If I didn’t advise my sisters on the right path since the beginning, then they wouldn't be as far up the trail of education as they are today.…

    -----The summer semester for Humanities is coming to an end and I can personally say on my behalf that this was a learning experience that I will not forget. I know it sounds cheesy but this class was different in comparison to the other classes that I had previously taken before; in this class I was able to learn about several cultures their art, rituals, places of worship and music. I said this class was different because I had never actually spent that much time looking at other cultures nor taking the time to actually understand them, but for this summer class I was given the task to do it, and it soon didn’t feel like I was doing homework anymore because I was actually enjoying the work I was doing and the reading I was doing on the course…

    “A curriculum is only as good as the teachers implementing it” (Ward 18.) Literacy is a part of our everyday lives, from reading to writing, to sending texts messages, posting on Facebook and sending emails; we are engulfed by literacy. The success of children begins in their early introductions to literacy and continues to develop and blossom as the years go on. Children mimic and repeat language they hear at home and at school and as they grow older the languages learned become habitual, whether the language is grammatically correct, incorrect or even inappropriate. Literacy across the disciplines is vital to all educators and those seeking education.…
