Essay Relfection

During this essay, I believe that I displayed the core competencies of Generating ideas, analyzing and critiquing, and person value and choices. To begin, I think that I used the creative thinking competency of generating ideas. This was used in my brainstorm for my essay. In the first stages of planning my essay, I was a little bit stuck when it came to ideas. But, once I started my brainstorm and had came up with the values, it was smooth sailing.  Coming up with my values, I think that in most definitely used the competency of personal values and choices. Lastly, analyzing and critiquing. I believe that this was most used in the editing process of my essay. I was able to take constructive criticism, as well as was willing to change my writing for the better. I also used feedback to my advantage.

English 9

 

History, Shakespeare, poems, writing, and art; just a small glimpse of things that I think of when I walk into English class. As a class that can basically weave into every field, I not only have a few ideas about what we are to learn but am exited for what I can take from it. Whether its skills and techniques, to reading and gathering information, these are just a few things I would like to learn and take from English 9.

First things foremost, I definitely would like to dig deeper into the history and origin of the English language; how it progressed, evolved, and branched out to create other languages. Secondly, when I walk out of English 9 I would like to have a more solid understanding of writing-creatively and essay based. Also, I would like to work on my grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Something a bit uncommon that interests me is how art can connect to English class. I have grown to learn that many pieces of art have a story behind them, whether it is modern art or something from ancient artifacts and history.  Lastly, I would enjoy learning about poetry and how to write it, as well as be introduced to famous authors such as Shakespeare, Charles Dickens etc.! To conclude, there are many things that I expect to learn and am eager to gain more knowledge about.
