1). Sullivan discusses the topic of preparing for college and aims his discussion towards high school freshman and college students. The students he has found prepared enough for college had no difficulty reading materials of multiple ranges and subjects since they “loved to read” (pp. 1). Furthermore, students that are prepared know that exemplary writing takes exemplary effort, and they come willing to comprehend, study, converse, and evaluate their written works. Additionally, listening and thinking influences the different ideas that we can develop; this can affect our self-development and mental capabilities, which can increase opportunities for further engagement.…
Writing is the way to interpret your thoughts or even your own self, wither you writing in college or personally and professionally. The way you write and express your thoughts and ideas, will reflect on all your life aspects, and the better ones writing is the clearer the image and the idea or the impression it will leave on others and readers.…
Focusing in self- evaluation to improve the learning process, help me to set goals and be aware of my own mistakes. When the English Composition course started, I wanted to be able to express my thoughts and my ideas in an effective way. The process of writing for non-native speakers of English is kind of difficult. For me, the American style of writing is very narrow, and my style is completely different. I found myself having trouble sticking to a thesis, because I had so many ideas that I did not know how to organize, and that was the primary purpose of taking this course, to learn to make my writings more organized.…

This course truly helped my comprehension of specific parts of writing that I had never caught on to before. I feel that I can now express my thoughts much more successfully. In the future, my essay papers will be far more grounded because of the new composition methodologies or strategies learned here. I am more confident about writing effectively in future college classes after taking this class. I’ve learned to use different words, phrases, or statements to use other times that will best suit my style of writing. This semester has been one that was, unquestionably, a learning and educational experience for…
Throughout my life at SSJ, I have matured, grown in my faith, and in my education, but most of all my skills as a writer have improved as well. From the first moment I came to SSJ, I began writing. Though what I wrote were only simple sentences, it helped to create a foundation that I base all of my writings on every day. Today it enables me to write from the longest essay to just a short paragraph.Out of all the many things I have learned at school, I feel that writing is the most valuable skill I have learned. Writing, lets you express your feelings and emotions and helps you describe the world in your perception or in your imagination. It is like a work of art, your words trigger the thoughts, sounds, feelings, and emotions a reader will…

Composition 2 has revolutionized my understanding of what it takes to make writing a powerful tool. The most amazing aspect of this course was for me to see the ways I grew in how I wrote, and what I wrote for, especially with the affirmative action paper. In practicality, I learned how to choose more supporting evidence from a vast collection of articles. Intellectually, I acquired the ability to understand what mattered to me, why it did, and how writing can bring forth a second opinion to many who may have opposed…
Service learning is a valuable way for students to engage with their communities. When tasked to incorporate a service learning activity into my English class I was faced with a few difficulties. Language Arts standards are very complex and cover many different areas including: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Service learning lends itself readily to the speaking and listening areas, however, I decided that I would attempt to build a unit that enriches student learning in all four domains of the English/Language Arts curricula. The following unit, which I titled the “Changemaker Unit,” is the result of this process.…
Coming into the project I was looking forward to interviewing a veteran, at first I really wanted to interview a World War Two veteran. I thought it would be very cool to sit down and hear an untold story of a true American hero that fought in one of the most memorable, and one of my favorite wars. But as I continued to search for a World War Two veteran I couldn’t find one so I joined groups with Tyler, Jose, and Mauricio. They had then told me that we would be interviewing Tyler’s stepdad, who was currently enlisted. Of course my dream of interviewing a word war two veteran was tossed out of the window. Then I had thought about it and to hear the story of a national hero that is serving in the War on Terror currently would be pretty cool. Although I didn’t get my World War Two veteran, I was still pretty stoked about hearing our veteran’s story.…
