I Learned to Build Instead
This assignment has given me more confidence in writing. I found just getting started the biggest challenge for me. I have been out of the school setting for some time; therefore, I often doubt myself and my writing abilities. However, I now understand that all I have to do is get started, avoid focusing on punctuation and grammar, to first get my thoughts on paper and then come back to add and rearrange until I get it where I want it. My habits were far from what I have learned. I would continuously make mistakes and then I would start completely over. It seemed I would never get any where. This assignment has taught me to expand upon what I have written

    Lejla Hodzic Mrs.Monroe English III(H): Period 3 Journal Reflection-MP1 When first writing in my journal I struggled with how deep to go with my discussion questions and what I should be asking my classmates. I feel that I have struggled with this because I lack confidence on what I am trying to prove or say in my writing. When reading in the past I have never pushed myself to question the author’s purpose or ask questions that invoke much thought. Up to this point in the year writing in my journal as well as annotating in the text, has helped my reading and writing immensely.

  • Nonrandom Classroom Assignment Analysis

    821 Words  | 4 Pages

    There is considerable anecdotal evidence that the assignment process of students to teachers in many schools is far from “random”. Many parents have had the experience of requesting a preferred teacher for their child. In many schools, teachers confer to decide on classroom assignments for the incoming students; in others, the decision is made by the principal (in both cases with input from parents). The process rarely appears on its face to resemble simple random assignment. Moreover, there are numerous reasons why it may be of interest to systematically sort weaker and stronger students to different classes.

    I took the time to write out an outline for this essay to help manage the chaos that is my writing, unlike my other essays for the course. As I said before, I have learned to question the structure of my paragraphs. For example: when I was revising the Composing Process essay, I noticed that a set of paragraphs could be rearranged and partially rewritten to improve the structure and make the essay flow better. However, I would argue that my Justification video assignment demonstrates my assertion better than my revised essays. From the beginning, I laid out a clear path that my Justification video needed to follow.

    You are doing an assignment in class and realize that everyone else is finishing up their work , but you are still on the third question out of fifteen. You don’t want to be the last one to hold up the class, so you rush the final questions, resulting in a bad grade for that classwork assignment. And with the traditional learning model, your overall grade would be brought down after the assignment is posted on PowerSchool.
