what are the differences between high school and college english courses? Do high school english courses focused more on book literacy rather than personal experiences?

i would agree this statement that you can be yourself while getting the things you get from learning in college

what is the "school to prison-pipeline"? Adding a brief explanation of what this theory is about.

Some examples of barriers can be language barrier or a form of expression that most people don't usually used to it. (like casual language?)

what does this mean "raised 'liberally'"? Like passively or actively raised by your mother?

Meaning that the steps can be repeated and reapplied through different processes

thus this is critical thinking of why this source connects to their paper

that is one way to organize sources and my research. Usually I have an outline in bullet points so that it is a bit easier to read

I had been told that don't use Wikipedia as your source, but it is also a good info starter if you don't understand the basic info on a topic you are working on.

when I was researching for my paper, I usually put .org or .gov at the end of the search terms so that I could find sources under those websites.

it is a good idea to expand your search terms so that you can find some sources that may give what you need for your paper.

this is nice to see other people taking a part of the spotlight

Thus this is why I usually left my research question as a starting point and then come back for it later after I research the sources of different perspectives.

It gets deeper into the topic and making us to do critical thinking to expand our answers. `

Everyone have different ways of seeing the world and create our own answers based on our life experiences.

usually just a reality check or a purpose why this essay is written or a summary of the whole essay and relating back to the real world situation.

counter arguments are probably one of the hardest things to do in my opinion

All I see are boxes and some of them are crossed out. Texts are kinda hard to read. I think i saw some japanese characters in some text too? Like hiragana and kanji characters?

Might use this list as a reference for future essays.

you are basically giving the reader some context surrounding the evidence

Based on what I watched this video, you can make a story by using your own life as a reference so that you could frame your message and maybe your thesis to the audience.

This is why I usually write my thesis last rather than doing it first. It is better to collect the evidence and analyze it first, so that you can get an idea of how you could write a thesis.

It is good to know what is your audience so that you can have a better understanding of how to write your essay.

one of the most crucial part of writing when you have to use your critical thinking into your paper and explain why this evidence is shown.

evidence is important so that the readers can understand what you are referring to and prove your point.

I had a class that taught us with the exact same method, so this might be a short review for me

the paper itself is written by yourself only, there is no need to write it in first person if writing a persuasive essay.

basically a summary of what this specific paragraph is about

Most of the time, he was using pathos method, when he asked the audience to imagine what it looks like to be in Assad's people's position.

He is persuading us to understand what was the situation in Assad's government and wants to manage and put restrictions on chemical gas weapons.

Something that I remembered from my high school English class, though I never knew what they really are. I just know that they are parts of the components for writing.

its like you know English but you're not very fluent with that language and can only understand your first language

people who don't have English as their first language, were sometimes forced to speak english so that they can at least communicate with the English speakers.

I use grammarly to help me out a little bit with the spelling, which is useful once in a while

I remembered this method back in English class in middle school but never really used this method.

they are more on the simplest level to revise such as grammar and punctuations.

Middle order concerns are more on how the context sounds and checking to see if you are using the language correctly

High order concerns focused on the whole context of the paper

it is time-consuming but that is the best part of writing and leading to a great paper

basically the intro and outro of your paragraphs are summaries of your whole paper

not what I expected while reading this textbook but at least it gave me a chuckle.

this process is what I almost do before writing.

It is good to plan out how much you are going to write depending on the day. Every small progress will make a different.

This is one of the important skills to have to able to "survive" in communication, no matter what career you choose.

it gives a some kind of approvement from a peer to the writer, saying that "hey this is good, keep going with this and that" or etc.

I did not think that using this kind of strategy will be helpful for creating storyline/writing projects but this is very interesting.

i have another class that also followed this method of organizing paragraph

one of my methods I used to make a backbone of my paper

The way I start my paper, I usually have an outline or at least a topic in my head based on the prompt was given. When I have an idea, I took some notes on the side that I want to write for that paper. Then I "pre-write" the whole paper based on my notes I have on the side and just whim through it to get my thoughts out. After that, I look back and see any errors or content that needed to be revise, then I check in with my peers or instructor as my second pair of eyes to make any suggestions that I need to review.

Thus this is why reading strategies are important that we could apply in our lives such as our future careers.

A method that you could make an association to the text, as a visual learner, I would try to make scenarios based on the text I read.

We're always evolving, even we may think we aren't. But we have to prepare for changes over time.

this will help the reader to understand the text more better and create a connection between the content and thoughts.

This is very important because you know yourself more than others. We can learn from not only yourself but sometimes from others.

In this one, this is an active way to let your brain process information. Actually creating visual or imaginative cues to link so that you are able to understand the context more clearly. I remembered this memory lesson during my AP Psychology, when you want your brain to remember the context, you have to repeatedly read it or make an association.

Basically a passive way to process information into your brain. It doesn't actually link something so that your brain can review or retrieve that info again.

Reading is taking and understanding the information in front of you. As a reader, I process the content a bit quicker than normal. Although, this doesn't really mean that I understand it completely. Sometimes, I need to reread a section again but this time maybe take some notes to be able to stick that info in my head.

Everyone has their own ways to pace themselves in reading too. Again, we have different ways to learn.

Page 11: "To sum up, reading always involves critical perception, interpretation, and re-writing what is read. . . for these reflections on the importance of the act of reading."

Reflections are the most important thing as a learner so that we could think critically and looking back what we could apply.

Page 10: "Learning to read and write meaning creating and assembling a written expression for what can be said orally. The teacher cannot put it together for the student; that is the student's creative task." I think this part of paragraph 3 is important that the student should explore with their own creativity and able to learn about themselves in their own way.

Asking questions is a good thing so that you could understand fully.

Similar to reading body language when conversing with someone.

Skimming helps your brain to prepare yourself what to expect when you read the next part of the text.

There is a study that writing notes rather than typing them out, improves in learning.

It's a little scary at first, but I know it will open up new ideas to expand your creativity. Thus you need a lot of references to find inspiration. This happened to me very often.

I want to be more engaged and be able to fully understand the content of the lessons. To be able to do that, I need to use the existing learning strategies and tinker with them to improve.

I agree with this sentence, they are not only there to give you a lecture and assign you some work. But they are there to able to help you with some advice for your current or future life.

The experts and researchers are resources and able to support you when you needed it.

Personal experiences are one of the good methods to write stories. Especially with your identity.

Each experience is unique to everyone. Some of them taught them some kind of lesson that may or may not change a part of their lives. To be able to connect our experiences, we need to find a way to communicate those experiences by writing short stories or narratives. In that way, people in your class would able to understand your experience and vice versa.

This is true to all of us. Through many conditional learning, interaction with other people and different experiences, it does affect your identity and how you interact with others.

It is the most important detail and only way to improve your learning skills. Collecting information more effective.

I think that my learning style is more on visual cues or imagery associations. Or at least hands-on activities. For my education, it lands on learning zone, a bit closer towards to comfort zone.

There are some studies that writing notes by hand improves in learning.

In psychological way, this actually an effective way to actually learn the contents. It's more on the hands-on activity and your brain will pick it up.

Although, I struggled a bit with asking questions, I do believe that asking some questions because you wouldn't able to find out what is the actual answer and leave you confused for the rest of the time.

I think learning in this objective would be an easy task for me. But I believe that I need some more improvements in this area.

I agree with this prompt, everyone has their own ways of thinking and process information.

Using those lessons will help me out throughout the text and then applying it for future use.

flashbacks of during the Black Lives Matter protests, specifically on June 2020.

My grandparents have their mother tongue, my parents do know the language but only speak in English. While myself can barely speak in Tagalog.

I am Filipino myself so this caught my interest.

Reminded me of an English assignment from high school where I needed to write a short fictional story based on my ancestors.
