On past exams, we had to write an essay in one hour, which was quite a challenging task. Using ACE paragraphs helped me learn how to write a well written response to an article or prompt. It taught me how to use supporting details to prove my statement. The newspaper project for ¨And Then There Were None” helped me think for creatively and add in some different articles that made the project better. My writing composition has improved tremendously after these…
I have learned that revising your writing makes it way better than before. You find your mistakes and realize you can replace words such as “bring to” to a different high vocabulary word such as “cease”. I know now that there is no way to make your paper perfect. There will always be a word, words, or sentence you could change.In addition, I’ve gained a better understanding on passive and active sentences. Once I was done writing my paper, and began to reread it I found some passive sentences. All I did was revise the sentence which helped my writing flow better. Initially, I read the first paper I wrote for the Quarter 1 Writing Assessment and I noticed that I didn’t follow the directions completely. As I read on, there were many simple sentences and not many transitional words.…

The AVID program has helped me in many ways, but the thing it helped me the most with was actually understanding the importance of going to college and it has taught me how to get there. The process of going to college can be very confusing especially for a first generation college student like me. AVID has been extremely helpful with answering all my questions I have about college. It has also kept me on track with the things I need to need get done during my senior year in order to be able to attend college; for example, college application deadlines, scholarship deadlines, and taking tests (placement, SAT ACT).…
Another blow to character education was the postmodern thinking. Postmodern theory is based on the idea that reality is not reflected in human understanding. Reality is constructed as the person tries to interpret their own reality, (Aylesworth, 2012). According to Wilhelm and Firmin, the “backlash of postmodernism asserts that Christian virtue and absolute truth cannot be held as exclusive morality,” (Welhelm & Welhelm, 2008, p.190). Teachers became concerned with forcing any absolutes or morality. In the absence of absolutes or morality…

During the past week, we have learned about ourselves when it comes to writing and reading and strategies in order to make our writing better and stronger.

Throughout high school writing has always been challenging to me and when being told that a paper was going to be due, made me want to barry myself in a whole and not come out. With little effort I would give the essay a shot and follow the directions and think that it was an ok paper and it could get me a passing grade. Seeing the score and it being not being…
My writing style in high school was formal and followed a strict template for writing research papers and all other written assignments. Many of my teachers then left no wiggle room for creative detail nor allowed us to use “I” in any of our papers. They gave my peers and I such highly specific prompts that each of our body paragraphs was almost identical. As a result to the specific prompts, I would typically score 87-95 percent…
My biggest accomplishment in AP English was strengthening my essay writing skills.

Initially, this shortened time frame posed a significant challenge for me. In the past, I had spent days on editing and rewording my essays, but while preparing for the AP test, I no longer had that luxury.…
