Chris Street wrote an original research article, “Expository Text and Middle School Students: Some Lessons Learned”, and tells us that middle school students face difficulty reading expository texts because they were not taught how to read in this fashion while in elementary school. While in elementary school, they read short novels and chapter books, whereas, in middle school they are expected to read content area text. According to this article, teachers can help their middle school students overcome reading deficiencies by developing a student’s former knowledge on a subject before reading it. Street provides very good strategies on how to engage students with expository text, which consists of: before reading, during reading, and after reading. Before reading strategies include developing
Initially, the class overall seemed interesting especially some of the topics that where discussed in class. As for the essays they seemed hard just as any other essay seems at a glance. The class time really helped me out on figuring out exactly what I was going to write about, I realized what my strengths and weaknesses are as a writer, for example what I would consider my biggest weakness when it come to writing is it takes me a while to actually start a paper, throughout the course I learned how to effectively brainstorm and overcome this weakness of mine. In general I feel like my writing has improved since the first day of class. One way my writing has improved this semester is that I have learned how to accurately organize information, and decide how to clearly present the material.
For example, I was reading about when Christopher learns that his mother was having an affair, and then all of the sudden, I am reading about the Monty Hall problem. I also find that the extra details that are noted in the book are another good way to make it seem as though we are inside Christopher’s head throughout his journey. All of this strung together, I think it is going to be a good book as far as I can tell. The main character is interesting with all his issues, like hating yellow things. I also like how the book is written with extra details to let me know how Christopher sees things, and how the book is also has random topics in it to show me how he thinks.
First, if you have a good writing skill, you can express your feeling in a right way to make your audience feel sympathetic or even influence them like Donald Murray said in his essays. For example, the love letters from my ex boyfriend played a huge major role in our relationship. He was shy and afraid of being refused, so he would not dare to ask me out. Therefore, he wrote me so many letters about what I was to him, how much he loved me, and so on. He told me if I did not feel the same way, I could get rid of them.
This was our last conflict during the story. With all the conflicts and differences I rate this 8. My mom helped me look at reading in a different light. She also helped me be a better analyst when I read books with a more complex storyline. I learned from all this that reading isn’t just reading the story.
Although I hadn’t yet become comfortable writing about my past during the first few quarters of school, I enjoyed writing for academic growth. I enjoyed analyzing and debating the issues, reflecting on books we had read, or just journaling my thoughts about the day. It wasn’t until my second year at Evergreen that I was able to revisit some of my past experiences and childhood memories by writing a required memoir for one of my classes. This process was very difficult, and I found myself re-writing over and over again. The experience, although very painful has sparked a desire in me to tell my life
I hated the assignments to turn out “compositions”, and went at them like heavy labor.” (Baker, 2nd paragraph, pg. 66) I felt that part of the paragraph just reminded of myself of the same things like in this paragraph. The genre of this essay is a narrative essay because Baker explains his high school and college experiences. When Baker said “I had begun to think of myself as a writer. It was the only thing for which I seemed to have the smallest talent, and silly thought it sounded when I told people I’d like to be a writer, it gave me a way of thinking about myself which satisfied my need to have an

The audience is for many audiences such as high school students, college students and many other people who lost their hopes and don’t believe they can follow their dreams.” In Becoming a Writer”, by Russell Baker stated “I had begun to think of myself as a writer. It was the only thing for which I seemed to have the smallest talent, and silly thought it sounded when I told people I’d like to be a writer, it gave me a way of thinking about myself which satisfied my need to have an identity”. Sometimes you have to put a name on what you want to do and believe you can do it.
They are both passionate, as shown in his choice of novels he suggests Austen to read, and her for utter love of the literature. Part of the romance here is that it portrays one common way that people meet and being to “date.” I use the term loosely because Austen and Lefroy did not officially “date” to current society’s definition, but there was definite courtship. Nevertheless, this way of meeting and dating is particularly interesting; to have a certain disgust for a person until you find one thing they do or say revealing them in a new light. One reason is that we put on a façade when we meet strangers. The more we are around them the harder it
