Team B: Mellissa Smith 1. What went well in the project? What could have gone better? I thought the project work itself was fun, creating the reports and memos and other communication were great practice for the real world. I really enjoyed getting to know 2 of my team members whom I worked very closely with on this project and will keep in touch with after this class is long over.
He offered a lot of help and was willing to make notes on my paper to attempt at helping me make my paper the best it could possibly be. I really appreciate his time and effort and definitely took in to account some of the great and helpful feedback he gave me. Another person I would also like to shortly thank is Professor Miller. She took the time out of her busy schedule to sit down and have a conference with me and go over any questions. It made it easier to figure out exactly what she was looking for in my paper.
Likewise for students who want to pursue higher education and choose to take a career in the field of writing, this basic writing skill is a useful tool. The five-paragraph essay helps students both in school and in life by giving them an easy –to- apply device for saying what needs to be said clearly and concisely. There are several speaking countries which use this form of academic writing
People like teachers, doctors, policemen, and firemen are important. Being someone’s maid or cook doesn’t really get you far in life. In Maya Angelou’s graduating class there were only a few kids graduating and moving on to high school. In Hillside, New Jersey, over 90 percent of students graduate from every grade level and can go to any college they choose. There’s also this program called “ No child left behind” that’s supposed to allow kids who are slower when it comes to learning be able to catch up with the rest of their classmates and move on to the next level of education That’s how schools in 2013 is different from school in the 1940’s we are an integrated nation with the ability to be what we want and have a chance to expand our
The assignments are not that complicated and heavy in a sense that there are fewer requirements and their due dates are not immediate. Compared to the time schedule of college students, a high school schedule is much more fixed because the standard call time is at 7:30a.m. and end at 3:00p.m. Students are much more immature and need guidance in order to lead fulfilling lives. They study inside a single classroom everyday; thus having little freedom.
Being in Mr. Bostwicks class I’ve learned a lot. My grammar has improved. I have learned better study habits and I think I have really grown with my writing abilities. Mr. Bostwick has taught my an easier way to set up my paragraphs. One of Mr. Bostwicks many mantras he has us memorize is something I think really helps me and it goes a little something like this “ words make up phrases and clauses, phrases and clauses makes sentences, sentences makes paragraphs, and paragraphs makes composition.” Altogether I give mister Bostwick my SEAL of approval.
The effects of NCLB affected everyone, whether you were at the top of your class or toward the bottom. To those of us who experienced the affects if NCLB first hand, it seemed like the students who put in the least amount of effort got rewarded the same things that the students putting in hours of work got. I asked my good friend Casey Collins, who attends University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, if she felt that NCLB was affective she said, “In all seriousness it was passed to help those who were behind get back on their feet, but it never took into account why all of these students were doing poorly in the first place. It's not effective in the fact that these kids are now moving forward but still don’t have the knowledge to do so. It also holds back the kids who work hard to succeed.” Many of the people I asked agreed in some way with Casey.
I would like the writer to discuss more ways to get high school students to focus in school and how teachers or parents can help them achieve their goals. The comparison of this essay to my expectations are not very different at all, I agree with everything the writer has to say because education has only been getting worse throughout the years and the way that high school diplomas are just being handed out to seniors is not how it used to be which defeats the whole purpose of even learning. Sherry’s essay helps the readers clearly understand how education for high school students has become insignificant. Overall, Mary Sherry did really well writing this essay by using her thoughts and experiences to help the readers to be more informed on the
Being able to confide was not only relieving, but there was also a sense of comfort for the future in it. It also allowed me to learn from the past in ways that I might otherwise not have. To reread past entries and see how much I’ve grown since then, gave me such a feeling of accomplishment that I never want to stop writing. I still continue to write in a journal every day, and don’t plan to give it up anytime soon. I believe that writing has helped me in numerous ways, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to release some stress.
On the other hand, if a class is composed of fewer students it is very easy for a teacher to control that class and none of the students will be able to do disruptive work and go unnoticed till the end of the class. Fewer students mean that each one gets attention from the teacher, and they are encouraged and pushed to take part and express their opinions. Furthermore, the results show that the benefits of smaller classes for the students who were in these classes till grade three lasted through their high schools. These students were less likely to drop out and to graduate on time, more likely to understand hard subjects in high school easily and have a higher acceptance of college than their peers do in normal classes.
