In this course, I want to learn new vocabulary words and the different types of writing in Literacy Studies 10. Learning new vocabulary will improve my English language. How to incorporate the new vocabulary and understanding the deeper meaning behind the word will make me become a better English speaker. Furthermore, being aware of the various writing styles is significant. I believe being exposed to different texts will increase my English skills. Reading, “To Kill a Mockingbird” and the various texts of Shakespeare will help me achieve this goal. I want to understand the philosophy behind some of the texts and characters. In addition, I want to learn how to write in cursive this year. Cursive has been used for many years but has become less relevant. Learning this type of writing will enhance my essays.

Lastly, learning new poetic devices will improve my English skills. Knowing how and when to use similes and metaphors is very significant for writing also. I will improve these skills by reading Shakespeare and other books.
