writing my paper for the Cause and Effect, Problem Solving essay, I came in contact with a few challenges of my own. One of my biggest problems was the time strain. With working at least twenty-five hours a week, a lot of time that I could be working on school is taken up. Another difficult task I encountered was the citations. In my previous years of high school, teachers only required the use of parenthetical citations; therefore, I was unfamiliar with all other types when writing this paper.…

changed greatly since the beginning of this class. Before taking College Prep Writing II, I would just write a paper the way I thought it should be. After taking the class though I am now looking through my paper more thoroughly, and making sure I have everything the teacher is looking. When we received checklists with everything we need to include in the paper I made sure to go through my paper and see that I had everything I need. After taking this class, I can…

write a paper that sounder correct. Toward the middle of the trimester they started to learn how to write college papers that will help them pass college classes. In the end students learned how to speak their minds and create their own unique voice. As a class they had to watch a movie called the Dead Poets Society comparing it to the book The Fountainhead. Watching that movie truly taught them how to be unique. When people are asked to write a paper they usually write a half ass paper. While…

“Freakonomics” by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven levitt was something that i was interested reading when i seen the title on Mr. Seal’s shelf because, I am in Economics, and I wasn’t too sure if I would understand everything in that class, so I thought maybe reading a book about economics in my english class could help boost up my knowledge for econ. This book was a great book, I finished it within a 3 week period, reading not every night, but catching up on the nights I missed out on by reading a…

One of the things that makes me as a stronger and more develop writer, is what my passion lies on, which is Filmmaking. There are also many different ways that you can be stronger as a writer, but what is the point of doing something if you are not enjoying it. A quote from one of my favorite actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, “The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it”. Therefore, as a filmmaker, I always thought that writing is a really good practice…

There was this competitive scholarship that my school offered to the top three best essay writers. To qualify, you had to be accepted into a four year college, your GPA had to be higher than a 3.6, and you had to be a minority. I had to do my best because there were a lot of great writers that were competing. The essay prompt was “What would it mean to you to be awarded a NaphCare Foundation Scholarship?” I thought about things in my life that means a lot to me, so I began to write about how…

This semester I have grown significantly in many aspects, I thought I had already mastered. From the very beginning I had to improve to be able to keep up with the structure, my teacher created for this class. This made me grow in my skills to communicate ideas. For example, one major project we had to do was a Job Shadow. This project involved a rigorous search for potential shadows in different careers. Once the shadows were found we had to be able to communicate with them well enough to get…

this combination of both strategies to work well for me. Being that English is my second langue, when I brainstorming my ideas onto a paper I get stuck trying to spell a word and losing my train of thought. By switching to recording myself while brainstorming I can dump all my ideas fluently. I can then listen and go back and forth on my recording while writing my paper. One recent idea that I generated from using this strategy was on my assignment for last week…

Today’s poems were very interesting, I was very excited to hear my colleagues poems. Starting with the Family Photo poem. To be honest, I was totally sympathized with Einal’s poem. Even though it wasn’t a rhymed poem, and didn’t have many metaphoric it touched me deep inside. Since I know that she lost her father when she was in the 9th grade, so it just touched my feelings. The second poem was English as a Second language, only three of us read this poem. Shadi, Nour and I. actually, I liked…

I used this opportunity to discover which stage of Piaget’s cognitive development my ten-year-old cousin is currently experiencing. Since he is at the age of ten, he falls into the stage of concrete operational. I thought it was intriguing to watch and see how his thought process worked with both activities. I used the Jo Short activity and the water into different sized glasses activity to test that my cousin matched the stage that his age categorized him as. I started off with reading the…
