I am planning on taking honors English 10 next year. Because English 9 does not do grammar, but Honors does, I was wondering if there was something I could do over the summer to be prepared for the grammar next year. I know it is the end of the year and everyone is super busy but if you could put together some grammar papers or let me sign out a grammar book for the summer it would be much appreciated.
In the year 3000, the planet Earth is a desolate wasteland. It has been a little over a half a century since the “big one” hit the Earth. The majority of the human race has been eliminated with only a few hundred remaining. The only ones who have survived barely made it on to the spaceship as the big one smashed the Earth. Marcus is one of the many survivors coping with solar winds and debris floating around the Moon. After half a century, the survivors are running out of supplies on the moon. The crew must go back to post-apocalyptic Earth and explore the wasteland. Marcus knows that this journey will not be an easy one. They encounter different
Many students think their general education classes are going to be easy. This assumption is usually made because they are the basis of all of the advanced classes. When students sign up for classes for their degree, English 101 is often a requirement. Therefore, students put it on their schedule without a second thought. Most students do not realize how hard such a basic class could be. Mrs. Fox’s English 101 class is hard because it is time consuming, requires a lot of responsibility, and contains a difficult grading system.

The freshman fifteen is a belief that students in their first year of college gain fifteen pounds. However, is the estimated weight gain of fifteen pounds actually accurate, and what would the cause of this weight gain be? Students typically gain weight their first year of college for various reasons. Some of the reasons that they gain weight are because they can't afford healthy food, they do not know how to cook, they do not have time to exercise, and they do not have time to make a proper meal.

Freshman year is where the foundation of a long lasting education begins. With english as a core class, the subjects we’ve covered have given a great base to build off of, especially as honors students. However, things weren’t always easy: critical thinking and extra effort was needed to accommodate for challenging concepts. Through it all we prevailed and have learned a multitude of new topics. We covered an expanse of different types of literature and dabbled into the world of grammar. Here’s my rendition and perspective on what I’ve learned in honors English 9.
Throughout this semester, I was able to learn many writing skill and was able to develop as a writer. When I found out that I was scheduled to be in English Composition I, I was very nervous as I have always felt that writing was one of the skills that I needed to improve on. Although I usually received good grades on my essays, I did not like writing them since it would always take me more than five hours to write a one page essay. If I wanted a good grade in English Composition I, I knew that I was definitely going to have to improve on my grammars. The main skills that we learned in this class were writing a clear thesis statement, paragraph structures, and sensory details. Through this class, I was able to attain more knowledge in these areas and gain confidence in my writing skills. The areas that I have improved on over the course of the semester are staying in the same tense, using
Technology has had a huge impact on modern day society. So many things we take for granted and do not even seem to notice. Now, a day is a miracle that has only served to improve our world as a whole. Air travel, modern medicine, global communication, and agricultural technology are just a few things that have had huge everlasting effects on humans.
Would you say you were in love as an adolescent? Teenagers can be in love. They can be in love because many people have wedded and stayed with their senior high boyfriend or girlfriend. Also it is beneficial to be in a serious relationship at a young age. In senior high, couples go through a lot together so they are stronger as a couple. Adolescents can be in love despite the fact that people may not think they are mature enough.
As senior year is coming to a wrap, many memories are flowing through the mind as graduation day approaches. It is always fun to look back at the activities that we were involved with, classes we took, and laughs that we all shared. Senior year has been the most memorable year out of the four years that I have spent in high school. I love dissecting animals, or anything I can get my hands on, and one day our Human Anatomy and Physiology class had the privilege to dissect a cat.
Journaling is a past-time long forgotten. Finding time to write everyday presents a challenge for many, and so does finding a topic to write about when a mundane day passes. Because of this, most people choose to bypass journaling; however, I have recently rediscovered the purpose of recording my every day shenanigans. Just a week ago I noticed a small notebook hiding behind a few unread books while I was cleaning my bookshelves. As I pulled it from its little nook, it registered in my brain what its contents held. Opening the book was like time-travelling back to my first day at the high school. The words made me cringe consistently, and I began to comprehend how much I have changed since freshman year. I have grown a tremendous amount physically and emotionally, and I can only expect the same to happen in the following four years at college.
It's the last day of freshman year and I feel great. I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, I passed all my freshman classes and am now a sophomore.
A large part of an English teacher’s job deals with helping students find their own voices amidst the many teachings of their parents and peers. A student’s voice can be their values, their interests, and their perspectives of the world in which they live. Their voice can be their critical questioning of the many situations they face, whether in a text, the school cafeteria, or a park after school. It is the job of an English teacher to aid in finding this voice through their writing. It is by putting words and thoughts down on paper that a student can sometimes feel comfortable enough to take risks and find their true voices. Although traditional grammar instruction has long been thought to improve this skill, this is no longer the case. Instead, by providing a classroom environment in which students are immersed in classic literature from many genres including poetry, short stories, and novels, students will learn how to harness grammar for their own purposes of finding their voice in their writing.
It is not uncommon to say that grammar instruction plays an important role in language teaching. Regarding the status and importance of grammar teaching, a variety of opinions have been made. Batstone (1994) states that “language without grammar would be chaotic: countless words without the indispensable guidelines for how they can be ordered and modified” (p. 4). More vividly, Wang (2010) makes two similes. She compares grammar to the frame of a house, which is a decisive factor to ensure the solidness of it. Additionally, she regards grammar as a walking stick, whose function is to help and support students to learn English. Thus, the nature of grammar instruction manifests its own significance as it helps students enhance their overall language proficiency by integrating grammar into other aspects of learning, like listening, speaking, reading and writing.
In the article, “Current Developments in Research on the Teaching of Grammar” by Hossein Nassaji and Sandra Fotos two main issues had been discussed. The first one is whether grammar teaching make any differences to language learning where the questions raised are whether grammar should be taught or not. The second issue is what kinds of grammar teaching have been suggested to facilitate second language learning. If grammar should be taught, how much and should it be implicit or explicit grammar teaching? Lastly, the article discussed on the current approaches to grammar teaching in which formal instruction can be integrated with communicative activities which are processing instruction, interactional feedback, textual enhancement, task-based
