The most important part of the grading process for the AP English exam that I learned about through this assignment is that the readers are not looking for perfection. Rather, they are grading the essays as drafts and looking for your understanding of the prompt. I also learned that even numbers are benchmarks, and odd numbers are a step up for the higher scores and a step down for the lower scores. I think this has helped me to understand how others will be grading my essays and what I can do to achieve a higher score.

    277 Words  | 1 Pages

    The English Honor Society appeals to me in many ways due to the presented opportunity of meeting new people, helping others while advancing my skills in the English language, and reviewing the subject of English Language Arts altogether. I am very intrigued by many of the mentioned ‘activities’ during the introduction meeting. I enjoy watching plays and musicals that relate to both historical and modern literature; they help to give different interpretations of the main themes and ideas found throughout it and also aid the audience to understand and comprehend ambiguous details. I love children and would be ecstatic to respond to their letters to ‘Santa’ as an ‘elf’. I also want to refine my skills that are English-related (such as writing

    When I was first accepted into the AP Language & Composition course, I felt overwhelmed. I had always received above average grades in all subject areas, but because this was an AP course I was unsure if my English skills were up to par. During the summer, my anxiety about the course increased. I began to feel that my writing skills were inferior to the skills of my peers’. Before this course, I did not have a developed writing voice or style. I had little knowledge of what phrases or words to avoid using in writing. I started to wonder if I truly belonged in an AP course. After having completed this course, I have a better grasp of the English language and have acquired skills that have improved my writing.

  • My Literacy Journey

    1952 Words  | 4 Pages

    In my English class, I wanted to do well and ultimately became competitive to be the top student. I would read several passages, plays, and books through the year and at all times write as much as I could for the essays. My overall goal was to prepare for the ACT during junior year and earn “Advanced” score on my EOC/Benchmark scores. Hence, any writing techniques I could learn from my teachers, I would. I learned a majority of my writing skills and techniques in my sophomore and junior honors English classes. During my sophomore year, it was the first time I was in an honors course and it challenged me with writing even more. The summer assignment for the class was reading the book “A Separate Piece” by John Knowles and to complete and A, B, C of literacy techniques and elements, which was simple enough. While beginning the assignment, there was what appeared like a heap of unknown and new words, which left to question if the class was for me. By the end of that one assignment, I learned several new literacy elements and techniques that I would go on to enhance my writing as well as add new vocabulary to my everyday conversations and papers. My sophomore year also required a good amount of writing for state standardized tests. In my Honors English II course, for a certain score on the standardized tests, the student would receive extra credit points for class. Parallel to when I was in

    From experiences, I know grade 7s are competitive and active when it comes to games they like. Therefore the activity mustn’t be too boring, static or with no competition. The activity I’ve came up with is called Pass the ball which is related to Hot potato but with a literary twist. So to begin the goal of this game is not to be the one holding the ball at the end and avoid elimination. So basically all that is needed is a ball and to set up the participants sit in a circle, with enough space between each other to pass the ball comfortably and the prefect would be the host or moderator to observe the game and identify ‘It’ and ask the questions.

  • Adams Essay-Grading Software Seen As Time-Saving Tool

    Technology is an essential addition to my instruction and is constantly present in my students’ everyday lives. It only makes sense that educators are using technology for assessments and standardized tests. Adams stated that because essay-grading technology has improved throughout the years, some standardized tests have used it to analyze the essay portions (pg. 3). I feel that not only could this save time reading and analyzing the essays, but it could possibly even prevent bias or human scoring errors. Some essay-grading technology can be used to provide feedback to students before they submit an assignment. This technology seems beneficial because it could help ensure that a student is submitting a high-quality essay, which would allow the teacher to provide meaningful feedback on craft and arguments instead of focusing on grammar and mechanics

    For our assignment, I chose to be blind. This was a tough assignment, however a very humbling one. First, while I thought this chose was the easiest of the three, after just ten minutes I felt lost and helpless. My thoughts went to how I was going to complete anything for myself. So I tried to get up and move to the kitchen to get a drink of water and needless to say I ran into many objects that I thought I knew where they were located, however my senses were off by just the simple thing of being blindfolded.
