Me as a reader

As a reader I have my strength and weakness. A strength I have is the ability to connect the words of literature to my own personal experience, but I also have a weakness. One of my biggest weakness when it comes to reading is procrastination. I sometimes tend to put off reading because I feel I have time. But time is not in my side and by the time I realize that it'll be too late. Reading serves an essential role in my education. It teaches me how to analyze and connect literature with real life situations. I personally like to read, but I prefer to read sci-fi, drama, or action novels But as I progressed through AP Language and Composition I learned that a true reader can connect to any novel. This a weakness that as a reader I have to overcome. Literature can be exciting but it is up to the reader if this statement is true.

Blog Assignment

    Conducting yourself in a learning environment is essential. Ones behavior plays an important role in the class because that student is not the only student in the class. Class is a disturbance free zone and students should be able to come to class and leave with something new everyday. Teachers are not there to be babysitters, but to be mentors. Students should be mature enough to conduct themselves in a orderly fashion. Some students may find this task hard and somewhat impossible. A class full of people we know and you expect us not to communicate. The answer is yes. If you can conduct yourself in orderly fashion along with your peers is a job well done.     When one student disrupts the class it creates a domino effect. For example, Tom is talking to Angel while Mr.Jones is teaching his lesson. Tom has started the domino effect, after getting Angel attention,  Angel tries to get Jasmine attention. Although Mr. Jones told the students to be quiet they c...
