Self Assmentight Essay
When I first joined the class I thought it was going to be hard and it turned out to be hard for me. The class overall was not hard. It was just that I am not a good reader or writer and it’s very challenging for me in any english class. I had to learn how to organize my thoughts and myself when it came to taking this english class because there were deadlines that I had to meet and that was extremely challenging for me.
In phases one we had to write about a meaningful moment in your language. This essay really helped me express myself a lot and say a lot of the challenges that I had growing up with my academics. I had written about how I felt very different because I was bylingal and it was extremely hard for me to fit in because I was currently getting extra help. Also I had explained in that essay my struggles and the anxiety that I used to get and still get but not as often. This essay helped me embrace the fact that I am different and that it’s okay. There are a lot of different types of learners and throughout the years I have changed as a learner but I still struggle. Everybody learns in different ways and I just learn a little more slowly than other people. I really enjoyed writing this essay. It helped me see how much I have grown as a learner and how much I can develop.
In phrases two I really learned how to dissect an article and get a deeper understanding of whatever I am reading or analyzing. I did my rhetorical analysis essay on the story “Mother Tongue” and I learned so much on how you can break up the article and understand the different parts of text. This essay taught me that there’s not only a central idea and supporting details that make up an article there is much more. Amy Tan used a lot of different forms to get her point of view to her audience. I also learned different texquest that I can incorporate into my writing that can make my writing much better.
In phases 3 research I did an essay on open heart surgery. I personally found this easy extremely hard for me because I was more based on facts and evidence. It was hard for me to get a sentence type of information that had to relate to the topic that I had to write about. I find anything research based writing hard for me. Writing this essay did help me realise that I need more practise when it comes to writing research essays.
Phase 4 I know that I tried my best but it was really hard for me because I know the type of student that I am and that is the type of student that is hands- on and I learn betting when I am being taught in person vs being taught online. I already know that I struggle with english and to make matters worse I had to take a english course online. It’s not easy to adapt to a new routine out of nowhere and I know that it was stressful for the teachers to not only the students,
everybody was stressed. Overall, I think I did a good job in the english course but I know that I could of done much better.
