Prior to joining Journalism, classes I took have helped my proofreading skills. Especially Creative Writing, in which I proofread several different pieces of writing.

To begin, for a considerable amount of time I had been considering writing a short memoir about my identity of a member of the gothic subculture, and my experience of being what is typically referred to as a “black sheep”. When I envisioned this piece, I had an idea of an article in a magazine that uses a narrative style in order to get the message of “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” across to the audience that is reading the piece. For a magazine article like I pictured this short narrative…

When i am with students from other school, one question always comes, how many students is enrolled in your school? And they are always surprised by the fact that there is over 4000 students in my school. Therefore making it hard hard for all of us to know everything about each other, adding the fact that BHS is one of the most diverse schools in this region. Every day when i am walking through the hallway and look around me it is hard to say “i am actually in the United States of America”.…

Hello everyone, This will sadly, be my last blog post for English 177! Today, I finished my last online quiz and wrote my Assignment #6 blog post. In this post, I just want to share with all of you the things I learned in this course, my various thoughts about English 177 as a whole and anything else that comes to mind.

Statement Reflecting on my semester so far, based off my participation and grasp of the materials taught in this course, Tim, I believe I deserve an A-. I am writing to you I feel this way. There have been numerous things I have learned and mastered from the lessons covered in class. Also I believe the amount of time and effort I put in and out of class shows my dedication. Although I have learned a great amount, I must admit I do not deserve a perfect score as I am still lacking in some areas…

Greetings I’m sending you this message to ask you for a few minutes of your time. As you may know, I’m now fully retired from both teaching as well as coaching and, after years of contemplating doing it, have decided to write a book. The main reason I decided to do this was based on the fact that over my many years of running and coaching, I’ve had so many experiences in the sport that have influenced me and made a difference in my life, why not share what I’ve learned with others. The book…

Before taking Writ 1, I had never spent more than a day figuring out what my thesis should be for class essays. My theses in previous papers were usually very simple and descriptive of the text. Writing a thesis that encompassed the ideas of being SAFE—significant, arguable, focused and evidence-supported—was one of the most important things that I learned throughout these past few weeks. Writ 1 has taught me how to effectively argue my ideas in academic writing by learning how to write a SAFE…

The process of the research paper that was most challenging was organizing the paper. The reason organizing the paper was hard because I had to decide what was important information and how much of the information should I explain in depth. For example, my paper is about the history and benefits of Planned Parenthood, I had to go through and make sure I add extra information on events that led to the building of the first Planned Parenthood and recent history that was important to add. The…

For my tutoring session I gave LB the second section of the QRI5 test. This half was where he had to read a passage and then answer questions about that passage. What was very interesting about this test was that LB did a great job reading the first passage about Johnny Appleseed. He was able to answer the questions at the beginning because I think it was because he was familiar with the story. I also noticed that while answering the questions that he had brought in other information he knew…

I think in the passage " Cursive Is a Powerful Brain Tool " is true, why? Because I myself, think that cursive is a good brain tool. In the 6th grade i was tought how to write cursive, it was hard at first but i got the hang of it. My teachers had us write down our notes for class and i would write in cursive. Usually i dont have such good memory but when i wrote my notes down i would be more likely to pass my tests in that class. It was easier to remember what i had just written other than…
