Reflection Essay On Dual Enrollment English

Dual Enrollment English has helped me immensely with my writing skills. During the first semester of this course, I have learned many new and important talents. This course provided me with plenty of handouts and helpful tips for us to excel in a Dual Enrollment class.

Throughout the first semester, we have worked out of two textbook/notebooks: The College

Writer and Vocabulary for Achievement. The College Writer provided us with tips and exercises to help us amplify our grammar. The Vocabulary for Achievement book helped us increase our terminology so we could use them in our papers. During the second semester, we worked out of the “They Say I Say” book. This book gave us a lot of articles to read, and it also provided us with templates. Those

The book Night really entertained me so writing about it was a breeze. After writing my first paper, I wanted to make sure that I fixed all the mistakes that I did wrong in the first one, so that was my goal for the papers to come.

I would say the hardest paper to write was the literary analysis paper. First off, we had to read Shakespeare’s Hamlet. That was a very difficult play to read. I have always found it tricky to make sense of what Shakespeare is saying in his plays. We first had to read the play and then analyze what we think Shakespeare was trying to tell us in his play. To get a better understanding of the play, I had to do a lot of research about Hamlet. I read a lot of articles and looked at databases that provided good information on Shakespeare’s writing styles. This paper was challenging to make five pages long because I couldn’t think of anything else to say about the topic! Although, this essay really gave me insight on Shakespeare’s writing.

This class has taught me so many helpful writing tips. I have learned so much and I feel like I have become a better writer after taking this class. I came into this class with a lot of weaknesses, but with the help of Mrs. Miller and the books from this class, they disappeared.
