As a first year student in college taking English 104 was quite challenging than I expected. I always considered myself as a poor writer and reader. I’ve always had trouble understanding English growing up because I was always surrounded in Spanish environment growing up. In this semester, I had to force myself to get the basics of English before going beyond to English 114 in order for me to feel comfortable writing and reading. As I worked with my classmates and my professor, I was encouraged to be more aware of the way I write. All sorts of error I made on my essays became more visible as I practiced to develop grammar, clarity, and building effective paragraphs. Midway this course, my peers and I had to write three essays and state my claim …show more content…

My first and second drafts were shitty. My paragraphs were not sentenced structured, I did not have enough supporting sentences and of course, I had a good amount of grammatical error. I seek resources that would help me on my essays. Learning Assistance Center and feedback from my professor helped me analyze and develop more ideas to support my opinion. My progress started improving when I started to annotated Paulo Freire’s Of Pedagogy Of The Oppressed. I developed more ideas as I broke down sentences from Paulo Freire’s essay and re-wrote it as my own. With my classmates and professors feedback from my rough draft, I was able to write a well-written essay on Paulo Freire’s Of Pedagogy Of The Oppressed. In both my “Personal Narrative” essay and my “Banking Concept”, struggled with grammatical error a lot. My third paper “Civil Disobedience”, I struggled with sentence level errors and work citing. This was the hardest essay for me to write. Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience paper was very hard to annotate and get good information to support my claim. Next time I write an essay I plan to write a strong essay skeleton-particularly with clear topic sentences, write a proofread plan to address my myriad sentence level issues and write a list of works

Paulo Freire's "The Banking Concept of Education" talks about education as being an act of oppression to students as it does not allow students to be liberated (Freire 75). This directly correlates to David Foster Wallace's "This is Water" in education students are not often taught how to think differently causing them to fall into a default setting meaning that they are self-centered and interpret everything through their own lens. (Wallace 2) This lack of a liberating education can be a result of an educator who they themselves has fallen into the default setting which causes a never-ending cycle. As a student who has gone through the thirteen traditional years of public education and a year and a half of higher education, I have had a lot

My grammar has improved because in my first essay there are several verb tense errors, but in my third essay there are no errors. Another way my grammar has changed is that my vocabulary has improved. In my earlier essays, there would be simple words, but in my fourth essay there are more complex words like ‘deranged’ and other words. My punctuation has improved because in my first and second essay there are a lot of comma errors because I either put or forgot to put a comma in a sentence, but in my third essay there are fewer comma errors. Lastly, my words usage has changed because in my Frankenstein and first essay there are words like ‘society, things, they, and you’ that isn’t in my fourth

I’ve only gotten three responses through the two papers that we have done, so I have been working mostly on my own to try and find ways that I can improve my essay. Nothing has really surprised me thus far in the class. I have enjoyed the prompts that we have done for our papers and I have enjoyed giving feedback and reading other papers from other students. As I said earlier, I think my best piece of writing was my Evaluation Essay. I was writing about something I enjoyed doing (watching movies) and I was excited to share my opinion with everyone, so I think those factors contributing to my Evaluation Essay being better than the Literacy Narrative.

The classroom narrative touches on many things that Freire would want in an education system. Freire critizes the modern education system, banking concept of education, and its ineffectiveness towards students education because of the inablitiy to think creativly, the lack of student-teacher relatioships and how students get taught a cirriculum that promotes an oppresive society. Freire states “ This solution is not (nor can it be) found in the banking concept...banking education maintains and even stimulates the contradiction through the following attitudes and practices, which mirror oppressive society as a whole”(Page 2, PP 2). Due to this, the modern education is deemed ineffective and calls for a solution which Freire calls the raison

Being a part of this course has helped me improve my writing in different areas such as my grammar, editing, and planning. Being that, when I got back my teacher 's essay edited the first thing I noticed was all my grammar and my paragraph structure were all off. As a result, after I turn my essays in I always review my paragraphs and sometimes I even ask my friends to read over my essays to see if I need to improve either my paragraph structure, thesis or conclusion. Another, way I tried to improve my grammar, editing skills, and planning is

In “The “Banking” Concept of Education”, Paulo Freire describes what it is like to be a student in the 1970’s, but this work is still relevant in today's education system. In this passage from his book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Freire discusses two different types of education. There’s the banking concept, which is currently in place, and the problem-posing education, which is the ideal form of learning. Many educational activists, in the 2000’s, have since touched on the ideas that Freire coined to depict the issues that Americans have with our system. In order to take a look at modern education, we must discuss what schooling is like now, describe what it should really be, and declare how Freire’s ideas connect with those of other writers.
