Personal Narrative: Ender's Game

213 Words1 Page

I thought that it was smart how we had to find our reading pace for each book. It is different from Elementary School and Middle School. I liked how you had us write reflections of the books, instead of just writing the page numbers. This helps me comprehend the book better because I have to go back and re-read parts of the book that I didn't get in order to finish the writing. I read many books this year, but my favorite was Ender's Game. I re-read it and then did my book talk on it. I feel that the time we had to choice read almost every day was just enough to get to read a bit, but we got enough time to work on what we needed to work on in class. I also liked discussing the choice reading with other students, because sometimes when I listened

Personal Narrative: The Mindless Monster
92 Words | 1 Pages
Mckenna, I too wrote about the mindless monster and the negative effects it can have on someone. It's crazy to think about the lengths people will go to please someone and will overwork themselves to make sure others are happy. I believe that the only way to be truly happy is to make sure you're good first. The other aspect I agree with was your point on body language. That is something I need to work on a lot as well.

Personal Narrative: Ender's Game
493 Words | 2 Pages
Directly after robotics club and procrastination, my favorite pastime is reading. Starting in elementary school I would pick up a book that intrigued me and read it through without ever setting it down. My reading habits got worse(or better depending on how you look at it) once my parents bought me a Kindle and gave me the means to purchase a book whenever I wanted to. Ultimately, my kindle led to some problems at school because I stopped paying attention in class in order to read.

Personal Narrative: My Journey To NC State
379 Words | 2 Pages
I remember finding out that NC State had a summer reading book and thinking that it sounded a lot like a high school English class. I dreaded even picking up the book, so i kept making excuses and putting off reading it. August rolled around, and move-in day was quickly approaching, so I decided to take my dog to the beach one evening and read until the sun went down. The book followed the author's prodigious journey to save one mountain near his house and the Appalachian Trail. With every flip of a page I felt like there was an underlying message that was meant for me.

Ap Psychology Was A Fun Class With Mr Parker
566 Words | 3 Pages
Another thing that I enjoyed was creating and voting on the shirt we will make for the end of the year. If I were to take this class over again, something I would do differently would be to involve myself more in the class. I feel as if I would have involved myself more, then I would have understood more. When studying, try to get rid of all distractions. If distractions are present, it takes away the motivation to finish what needs to be done.

My Writing Impact

With a list of books to choose from we were told to list them in order of interest, but that it did not guarantee we would get to read the number one book on our list. I listed Touching Spirit Bear number one, and luckily, I was chosen to read it along with six other students. Everyday my group would meet in the back of the room during a certain period of the day. Each member of the group would take turns reading.

My Literacy And Writing History Has Shaped Who I Am Today

Every day we practiced our reading skills with simple picture books. I was very proud because I was in the “advanced” group with one other student. Once I learned to read it became an important part of my life. I remember reading books from Dr. Seuss to Magic Tree House to Junie B. Jones and Harry Potter. My favorite book was definitely Amelia Bedelia as it was an easy read that also provided humor.

Is It Important To Read The Importance Of Being Ernest?
730 Words | 3 Pages
I enjoyed listening to The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde more than reading it. I think we should have watched the movie first then read the book to help tie in the story line. The book work was good but if we could have gone over it in class it would have helped but then some students wouldn't have done anything so I would say it was fine just the way it was. And maybe have a group discussion of why it was important to be earnest.

Childhood Autobiography

We took our time as we read aloud and followed along with our finger. After partaking in this reading program I was skilled in reading and was finally sent back to class. I put my reading skills into action any time the teacher needed a volunteer to read from the textbook. Confidence was pouring out of me as I skimmed through the passages. My literary confidence was soon put to the test when writing was put into play.
