An Exciting English 101 Course

We feel it is important that students come together and have their voices heard, in the midst of setbacks within class. We have come together to highlight the benefits and challenges we have faced in this course. Although we acknowledge the negative experiences faced by our peers, we feel the need to also share our point of view. We acknowledge that many of our peers have felt ridiculed in the classroom, however we feel it was a matter of constructive criticism.

Through out the novel racism, poverty, and domestic violence are practically their own characters. These themes not only effect many characters but also manifest themselves symbolically within them. This creates a literary work that typifies the horrors that existed during the early twentieth century. Thus, laving a handprint on society that will never be

The class is a lecture format utilizing examples and student questions to illustrate the topics under discussion. Attendance is essential to successful completion of the course.

Throughout my time in the class I've become accquainted with fellow students and recieved lessons on the principles of writing. I hope to gain as much knowledge on this subject throughout the semester as well as in RWS 1302. Graduating as soon as possible is a goal I am set to accomplish.  Therefore, I will strive to work to the best of my abilities in order to complete the course and obtain a well deserved grade.  In this website I will present my writing pieces, goals, and information about myself. Please feel free to offer constructive criticism and contact

Though I am excited for this class, I know that it is a great deal of work and that it will not be easy. In conclusion, I have reviewed the grade distribution in the class, and how without participation, doing very well in the class will not be an option, the various resources that Professor Frasure has shared to ensure our success in the class, and finally the means of communication between the professor and the students. After reviewing these things, I am hopeful to do well in the class, and prepared to work hard in order to earn my

Colleen, Thank you for being open, reading and listening to our suggestions. You Rock!! As students we get the chance to express our view points and share our comments about the course after the semester is over, which does not benefit us during the semester. I appreciate the opportunity for the class to share with you our ideas and comments during the class.

This course has become more than a grade to me, I see it as my chance to give back to the community that provided me with countless opportunities. With the guidance of Dr. Chung, I have been equipped with the skills needed to contribute to a program that is very near and dear to me.

Welcome to our first class discussion board forum of the semester. Do you have any questions? Yes, please state in this forum. If not, please state in this discussion board forum. "No, I do not have any questions." Lastly, you must stay logged on and work on assignments, for at least fifteen

Transitioning from a setting of required learning to one of voluntary participation enabled me to grow in directions as a student that I would not have deemed possible before I had enrolled in English 101. I have developed completely contrasting perspectives in regards to writing than I held at the beginning of the semester, the most notable one being; instead of striving to be the most knowledgeable writer in the classroom, I now wish to be the most persuasive. Through surpassing personal endeavors as a writer, I have developed the understanding that this was due to my will to understand the art of rhetor, establishing my argument through supporting facts, and appealing to the ethos, pathos, and logos of my audience. I grew as a student

Each week we will have an online discussion of the material assigned – text chapters, videos, audios, articles, etc. ‐‐by your instructor. These discussions are for the purpose of exploring the assignments, the ideas presented, your

English 105 Composition I familiarize students to the college-level writing process through the construction and revisions of a series of credible and impressive essays. It incorporates unique research skills and challenging critical thinking skills. English 105 is an introduction to different styles of writing and the importance writing has as a form of communication. Through disclosure to a variety of college level reading skills, the students will build critical reading skills, and will be able to respond to specific learning in a variation of ways. Students will write about their own experiences and observations and be expected to include research in one or more papers using MLA format for documentation. I will learn how to read like a writer to see how writers fulfill or challenge reader expectations. Then, I will apply what I have learned to my own writing career wise and personally.

As my first semester of writing is coming to the end, I have learned a tremendous amount of new skills and have seen improvement in my writing. This class has challenged me to truly take a look at the issues in my writing, and to explore ways to make improvements. As well as, it has taught me new writing habits that can hopefully carry over into the rest of my college writing career. After going through all of my post’s in the CommonPlace Book blog, I noticed a variety of topic which I have decided to use to describe my first semester in writing.

Class participation: This is an intensive, active learning course that requires your participation in class discussions, case analyses, group projects, and presentations. We will not have a formal mid-term or final exam. My goal, instead, is to encourage your consistent effort throughout the entire semester—an effort that will be reflected in your final grade. Your class participation will be evaluated in each class in relation to two main components—class discussion and class attendance:

With the concepts from this course, I will be ready to present my students with different learning styles and techniques to make sure that they understand that is being introduced. With this course, I have gained a lot of knowledge that will help me in the classroom with my students.

Picture a world where a higher power restricts, defines, and degrades the individual from the moment they are born. Everyone has been assigned one title -- woman or man -- that serves as a warning label for his or her capabilities. Whether or not the individual follows these societal constraints, discrimination will always accompany the titles given. Even in America’s gender-focused society, labels and expectations are imposed upon people that can determine the direction--and limits-- of their lives. Such social injustice could spark rebellions and result in shattered laws of civilization and the end of equality for everyone, no matter their gender. As teenage research writers, personally, our lives have been sheltered and confined,
