The Making of the English Working Class

they’re futures will be “destroyed”. In essay, “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work”, Jean Anyon theorizes about the role education plays in society. Anyon’s central thesis is that the function of our educational systems is depended on the school’s social class. After careful analysis of my own experience within Anyon’s paradigm, it’s clear that my school, Windham High School closely aligns with Anyon’s description of the working class. Anyon correctly acknowledges that the public…

surrounding the election. Working on these types of projects taught me the importance of working in groups and taught me how to coordinate with other people’s schedules. These are lessons I believe would be valuable to after leavening TSU. This was also the more difficult part of the project. Working with people in the class it easier because everyone is aware of what is going on and receive the same set of instructions, therefore making easier make group arrangements. When working outside…

Introduction Although I will not be working with high school aged students in my teaching career, that I know of so far, I can’t say that I won’t be working with non-English speaking students in the near future. The students that I worked with at the Steps to College program on the UNG Gainesville campus were a prime example of working with students that didn’t necessarily have English as their first language. The summer program was focused on one class credit that the student chooses to take…

In this era Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years, making her the longest reigning monarch in the history of England and Scotland. During this era daily life was harsh for commoners. The Victorian period was very prosperous for the middle class. In the Victorian era health was very unadvanced and almaring. In the event that the Victorian era takes place health was very unsanitary. People…

When I first enrolled for the English 100 class, I was very scared on how this class would go for me. I was not confident in my writing and I didn’t think my writing would meet the standards of my professor, Dr. Kearns. In the past, my writing pieces never rewarded me with an A grade and I was often surprised when I received a B. I came into this class thinking that I was going to barely pass and I was ok with it at the time. Because of Dr. Kearns and his teaching abilities, I feel so much more…

English 1302 is a very demanding class but it was also a very useful one, since it thought me many things about researching and about supporting an argument. The main thing I learned is research since we had to find a lot of information for our papers. The course demands the student to write fifteen assignments, which means that almost every week there was a paper or a brief assignment to complete, thus making the class a laborious process. Although the course was going to be challenging…

English has never been a strong suit of mine. Why Siena Heights placed me in English 102 will always be a mystery to me. English 102 is a class designed to teach students how to think critically, communicate effectively, and show effective use of technology. This is done through the study of summaries, grammar and sentence mechanics, argumentative practices, and structural development. This course is effective in teaching these objectives due to the clarity of the information presented, the…

High School English class was just filled with reading assignment, quizzes, and essays. During English 1101 I learned more than just how to write an essay and about the plot of a story. I learned about how culture, communication, writing style, and the way we look at visual information has changed. I have learned how to interpret this changing world of media and culture through uses of multimodal methods during this course. Along the way I developed my knowledge and ability to communicate in…

The triangular composition on the left portrays three men holding their heads in their hands, standing back to back. Their lowered bodies and immense muscular tension display an astonishing emotional outburst: they can’t bear the extreme stress of working in factories. On the right, though the people are taking a rest and having food, the strokes of realism vividly show their discouraging facial expressions of tiredness and hopelessness. The man in the corner is drinking excessively. The need…
