Reflection Going through the English 102 has taught me so much more than stuff about writing in the discipline. I have learned here how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don't know. Most importantly I have learned how important writing is. In most of my classes I did read, explain, and write papers; however, I quickly found out that there was so much more to it. One specific experience I had was being able to write an effective

English 1101 has been a really great class so far. I have learned a lot about myself as a writer. I have found that I tend to write in first person more than I should. It is not always bad to write that way, but it is not the most formal way to write. When I write I have to concentrate on not using pronouns such as I, me, and myself. I have learned that writing is not as easy as I thought it was. Writing takes time and planning. To have a nice, well written paper, I have to take time to go though

Throughout the course of the first nine weeks in Mrs. Theisen's AP English Language and Composition class, my writing has changed dramatically.

There are a plethora of examples of how

In English 101, I’m looking forward to becoming a better writer because I was never a good writer, and struggled to write A grade papers. Hopefully this course will teach me the tools and mechanics, so I can improve my writing skills. A flaw I possess is I don’t like sharing my writing because I’m not confident in what I write about, or if I got all the grammar correct or not. I would like to see myself being confident in my writing, so if I had to share my writing, I can feel good about it and not

--When it comes to Tchaikovsky and choosing just one of his compositions, it’s almost impossible. Because I like to listen to classical music a lot while trying to focus on tasks, I have come across a few of his compositions that I thoroughly enjoy listening to. Just like so many other great composers like Beethoven and Mozart; Tchaikovsky forces his listeners to engage themselves and feel emotions through his music.

Nikita Deshmukh Mrs.Eckstein AP Language and Composition 4/29/15 Reflection The columnist project assigned for APENG was not that bad. I liked having to go and find a columnist that suits your interest, read about his work, annotate it, and then write a précis on it. Annotating the articles became easy since it was mostly SOAPS TONE and this will really help on our AP Exams since we use SOAPS TONE to write the rhetorical analysis essay. This assignment will really help us on improving our writing
