The current grade 11 University English course at St.Elizabeth Catholic High School study four books in the process of the whole semester. Obviously, the English Department has contemplated greatly over the nomination of these four books to educate your students. Although the education of these books is astonishing, I would like to introduce to you a book titled Next Year For Sure by Zoey Leigh Peterson. I believe this book would exceed your expectations, and allow the department to replace one of the four books. The book Next Year For Sure was written by Zoey Leigh Peterson, an award winner of the Scotia Bank Giller Prize, Far Horizons Award for Short Fiction, the Peter Hinchcliffe Fiction Award and many more. She was born in England, where …show more content…

Throughout the process of the book we see how people treat Chris and Kathryn for having another person in the relationship. Her novel lets the reader understand that there is so much more to a polygamy relationship than what society makes it seem. It shows the judgement that occurs throughout the book Next Year For Sure, which relates to the course for the characters in the books are faced with judgement. For example, the couple in Next year For Sure can perfectly relate to Cristina from Lives Of The Saints due to all the judgement she faces.

On September 10th, 2015, my fellow classmates and I entered into Mrs. Fountain’s room, unknowingly entering a room of despair. We had all forgotten that today was the day we would have to write our first AP Language essay. One of the main reasons we had forgotten was because we had been told, “There is no possible way for you to study. The only thing you can do is to come in prepared to write”. The day had started normally, laughter filling the room, with not a worry as to what would be asked of us.

This essay will prove that graduating students in Ontario should only study Canadian literature in a Grade 12 English course. While good writers exist in all cultures, Ontario students should only study Canadian writers. Because we need to become more familiar with our literature. Three reasons for this are; the need to focus on our own Canadian culture despite being surrounded by other cultures, the need to promote and establish our own writers, and the need to encourage younger Canadian authors. Students in Ontario taking English should only study Canadian literature because we are completely swamped by the American culture around us.

Sitting in a huge class with white walls and many strangers while hearing the summer bridge director give the instructions of a reading assignment made me feel frightened. Ever since I was small, I had always had a difficult time with my English writing and reading. Having challenges with my English made me have no interest in reading, until the summer bridge assignment changed my perspective of seeing books. During my experience in CSUMB Summer Bridge I was able to read a book who inspired me and changed my life completely. Our reading assignment was a book titled “The Pact” by Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, Rameck Hunt, and Lisa Frazier.

Literacy; the ability to read and write. Something that the world does daily, but the skills we acquire in order to do this develop over the course of our education. The awareness of sounds in language, variations in print and layout, relationships between words and sounds, vocabulary and spelling are all basic literacy skills that we have acquired in order to read and write. My interest in this topic stemmed from my English lessons, when discussing the novels we were currently studying, I began to question why we read the works we do how they help us progress as literary analysts.

Effective student engagement in education is a key element affecting the life chances of all Australians. It is especially important for Indigenous Australians who have lower levels of educational achievement than non- Indigenous Australians (Purdie & Buckley, 2010). A higher level of educational achievement improves employment opportunities, and is associated with higher income and promotes participation in all societal activities (Australian Indigenous, 2015). Engagement also affects school attendance, which is important for achieving core skills, such as literacy and numeracy, and achieving adequate levels of education (Purdie & Buckley, 2010).

Some may say that educational systems are superior, however, some can argue that the educational system needs a change. Francine Prose’s purpose in “I Know Why The Caged Bird Cannot Read” stood out clearly, to inform parents on how the current system of education is ineffective to young learners. Her use of words, ethos, logos and pathos appeals to educators and students to inspire change in their education standards. Prose wittingly begins her essay with a shocking opening paragraph; her strong language in which attacks the various works of literature.

Five years from now I will definitely remember AP English 11. In five years, I will look back at the daunting task of writing a speech and present it to the class. The final speech was a task that required me to leave my comfort zone: I had to share the reason why I dedicated a large portion of my time to practicing. In addition, It was an assignment that I have never done before. When I look back, I will be grateful for the opportunity to overcome one of my fears-public speaking.
