I have just finished reading you book Ender’s Game and let me just say it was amazing. I love the way you wrote Ender to be such a deep character from how he felt about the buggers to the way he viewed life. I admired when Ender told us how “It’s impossible to wear an identity without becoming who you pretend to be”. This quote is so true and you see it a lot in the real world like when you are pretending to be someone else for a while you eventually start acting like that person all the time.…

Self-Assessment I remember my first day in my writing class, I was very nervous about writing. I had never taken a writing class before so you can understand why. I have always loved to read but mostly for fun. My first essay was a narrative. I chose to write about an event that took place when I was younger. I must have written over four different essays before I eventually settled on this particular topic. I started to write and so many things where new to me. Where do I start…

work and focused strictly on my analysis. I also had well-structured sentences that were well understood and finally used grammatical expressions that helped in making my writing more enjoyable. Unfortunately, I had my own shortcomings during this process of writing. First and foremost, I experienced problems with how my verbs and subject agreed. Secondly, my first paragraph was not fully developed it did not have the capturing words that show what I was going to focus on or a brief introduction…

Reflection for “Analytical Thematic Paper” This a paper which to analyze the themes of the book which is called To Kill a Mockingbird. I wrote this paper to inform the theme of women need respect, and should play an important role in the society.

Reflection of scholarly values reflective writing. Professionalism and the development of writing are important. Writing reflectively has helped me to learn and understand ways of writing correctly making sure as reading the reader understands what they are reading. As I write, with assurance the reader doesn’t have to stop and rethink what they have already read, analyzing very clearly what I am trying to say or explain to the reader. While I write, peer reviewing, editing and revising, I must…

Looking at previous and current assignments, I am looking at how I have progressed as a writer. This involves analyzing obstacles I had encountered throughout the semester, and understanding how I have learned from those difficulties I had in the past. I intend to refer to the student learning outcome (SLO) to focus on specific areas that applied to my writing. Some specific SLOs of interest are looking into a rhetorical situation and reflecting as a writer. Firstly, SLO A of rhetorical…

Chapter 7 is about vocabulary knowledge and how we comprehend the vocabulary. Individuals have many vocabularies as stated in the chapter, and as a teacher we must keep that in mind.

Conceptual vocabulary is gained throughout life whereas, sight and high frequency words are ones we are familiar with quite early. Also discussed are the…

In all honesty, if one of the members of my freshman class were to ask me for a book recommendation next year, I’ll admit that I’d have trouble deciding what to recommend. At first I’d be worried about which route I should go: gratifying young adult romance novels or something thought-provoking that would impact them, and perhaps, change them for the better? Then, I would realize that I can choose both. With that, I would recommend Oscar Wilde’s The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray, Michael…
