The main objective that I took away from this course was thinking critically of finding the meaning of what literacy truly is. I would admire to learn how to better compose essays and steps that are needed to a research essay I struggle with compositions of essays and word choice. I will use my critical thinking skills in everyday life whether it be in school or work it’s something that is useful to figure out solutions to problems and I will remember to apply my literacy.

I had a lot to deal with from my personal and my work life which took away my concentration …show more content…
For example I could’ve used these critical thinking skills in my history 128 class. During beginning of history 128 we were given an assignment where we had to look at multiple different articles and documents that were related to what we were learning about in class and had a document analysis assignment. I believed I could have used my critical thinking skills I gained through English in my history assignment looking and finding the deeper meaning to those articles and writing and much more complex analysis then what I had done. I hope in the future I will be able to use all my knowledge and skills I have gained through English 102 and apply them to my future classes in my higher education I don’t believe that I can only use these skills and knowledge in an class room only I believe the skills I have gained through this class will be with me forever and I hope to use these skills not only in school but hopefully in my personal or even work place to solve and find solutions to the problems by using my critical skills I have gained this class has taught me a lot all tough it was tough in the beiging it’s a class that I actually have learned and gained many skills that I will
My experience in English 1010 was great. My writing skills were very poor at the beginning of the semester. I did not know how to write correct sentence structure. I had great difficulties making my sentences flow smoothly and clearly. I was not able to edit a paragraph for mistakes in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
As a College freshman in his second semester, I have learned to deal with the challenges that I have to deal with peaceful, yet exhilarating moment when my mind engages with an author’s thoughts on a page. As John Dewey states “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” What Dewey insists is from my early days in high school to my first year in college as a freshman, I wanted to know the full concept of English; however, I have now realized this subject would fill in my void of English with noteworthy complexities. This was not the case for most of my second semester in Montgomery College; I always had trouble in various parts of the subject, such as development in thesis statement, sentence writing and reflecting on previous essays. Writing a thesis statement had been one of my down falls in English.
The thesis statement in the document is: "I strongly believe this course has prepared me to be successful in English 112." The method of development used in the document is a combination of personal reflection and persuasive writing. Emma reflects on her experiences in English 111 and discusses how the skills and knowledge gained from the course have prepared her for the challenges of English 112. Support and Specific Examples:The syllabus and expected course schedule provided in English 111 helped emma stay on track and be successful. Emma marked off completed assignments and used the category details to understand each assignment better.
Starting out the year, I may have been soft spoken and shy, now as the years nears its end, I am more apt to speaking and voicing my opinion. Often during class discussions and debates my opinions and answers remained hidden, that was until Invisible Man group discussions came along. These discussions included proposing chapter questions and reviewing the chapters that had been previously read. After being assigned chapter two and being told there was going to be class discussions on each chapter, I knew it was time to come out of my shell. Starting out in the first discussion, I began to lead the talks and present topics.
This semester was filled with many bumpy roads. I struggled in the beginning of the semester with my writings , as I didn 't feel confident enough to write a well developed writing. I seemed to find myself struggling whereas writing was not my favorable subject. The major errors I had in my writings this semester would be , grammatical errors,work citations, transition words, formatting ,paragraph development, sentence structure , and sentence level issue. Therefore I have set goals to improve my writing in the future.
The abstract idea occurred to me, in room 201, in the front row of Dual Enrollment English 111; this idea regarded what it means to be successful and obtain a good work ethic while producing a high quality essay. First of all, the biggest takeaway from Dual Enrollment English 111 was that it helped mold myself into the hard worker that everyone always talks about. Throughout much of highschool I have never really had to ¨try.¨ This happened to be a big issue being a senior about to enter college. DE English was the medication I needed. From the late night golf matches to crunching at the end of class was was the challenge I needed.
In my future, I hope to continue the skills I have acquired during this English class. I think that they will be very obliging to me, nevertheless of what I am trying to achieve. In this course, I was encountered with deadlines, instructions, and assignments that I could not work around. I found that all of these responsibilities have made me comprehend that I could definitely take the next step forward in life.
My relationship with literacy has been a journey all on its own. From learning how to sound out letters and words, to reading my first sentence , I have developed quite a valuable foundation and platform, that will eventually guide me to success. I have had the pleasure of experiencing a love that just continues to blossom. A love that will never fail, nor will I fail it. This love that I speak of is my passion for reading, writing and literacy as a whole.
Literacy has applied over the course of my education and my life. As an education major, I believed that literacy was an ability to learn how to read and write. Furthermore, literacy has been a part of my education. I have come to an understanding that literacy is a lot more than what it seems. It’s about expressing yourself that includes your opinions and feelings.
English 1121 has helped me to become an enhanced reader and writer. I now have confidence in my writing and reading abilities. I never realized that I could become a good writer. A tremendous amount of effort was put forth into each of my papers and I asked questions whenever I was frazzled. I strived for success.
I have taken away many useful strategies and information from the College 101 class I took this summer. This course has given me enough information to help me feel confident that I will be successful in the rest of my highschool experience and my future college experience. This course has given me skills that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Learning to study properly, avoid procrastination, and take notes correctly has been something that has already helped me tremendously. It has helped me feel less stressed on a day-to-day basis as well as improving my school work quality.
For me, literacy has always been a problem to this day I am still learning how to speak, and write using proper literacy. Literacy is not just reading and writing, anyone can do that but the ability to understand such things, to comprehend them that is, true literacy. My development for literacy has always been a struggle as I have spoken about before. I had a speak impediment when I was younger which used me to go into different classes which took me away from formal English classes.
My skills in organisation have allowed me to meet deadlines and present consistently high standards of work. History has supplied me with evaluative skills, particularly when working with sources and determining the authorship and provenance of key documents and then going further to analyse these sources through a critical perspective. Furthermore, completing my History and English coursework has provided me with key research skills that are up to a university standard, requiring me to reference the work of critics and historians alike. Critical analysis skills in English have further allowed me to adopt an academic style of essay writing, allowing me to convey written work to a professional standard. Participating in the Performing Arts course has allowed me to expand on my creativity skills and the ways in which I approach tasks, in terms of solving problems in innovative ways, finding successful solutions rather than being confronted by a

The art of argument persuasion I’ve learned in this course is so beneficial for my marketing major. Other than that, it made me develop the essay writing skills necessary for success in my studies at the university level. This English course also taught me how powerful written words can be, and how the delivery of the tone is important for the reader. The tone of a narrative is different than the tone of a research, where the difference makes the paper. Also, the power in written words tells how much it is crucial to mankind.
