At the moment I barely have the time to watch television between work, school, dance classes, and rehearsals. But when I do have the time to relax and enjoy a television program I like to watch a Spanish soap opera entitled Amores Verdaderos when translated into English it means True Love. I’m very into Spanish soap opera cause of my Spanish background and also because ever since I was little I would go to my grand mothers house and I would sit and watch them with her. I also like to watch them for educational purposes to perfect my understanding and comprehension of the Spanish language that way I can communicate with my relatives you live in different states. I also enjoy watching them for the interesting story lines and the cute actors. I sometimes feel there a little over dramatic but I still like watching them, sometimes while watching I think to myself “ This only happens in Soap Operas”.
As of right now my least favorite show is MTV’s Jersey Shore. Some people are overly obsessed with the show and I really don’t even see what the big deal is its just a bunch of people getting drunk, partying, fighting, and giving our state a bad reputation.
When I go on vacation and I tell people I’m from jersey they go “ Jersey Shore Yeah” as if that’s what they think everyone in New Jersey does. And it really irritates me cause it’s not true. I some times tune in to see what’s happen but I get disguised from what I see girls not wearing underwear and tasteless outfits and I

Ap English Reflection

What I Learned as A Teacher Essay

What I Learned As a Teacher When I first started teaching the AP English Language and Composition course 11 years ago, I added more nonfiction to my lesson plans. Still, during those first years, I persisted in teaching much of the fiction (and even some poetry) I had taught in the past, adapting my presentation of the works to suit the AP English Language course. It was a natural approach for me because fiction had been the focus of my academic life. In addition, the AP workshops I attended in…

standards has been a important part of the English language for over a decade .But more recently much importance has been given to improve students writings and grammar from a young age. I still feel much work has to be done to improve the overall standards of the American English Language.

Ap English Class Reflection

course I have taken is AP English Literature and Composition during my Junior year. Being a higher-level course, this class challenged me as a reader, a writer, and a thinker. While we read similar novels to other students around the country, such as The Great Gatsby, Othello, and In The Time of the Butterflies, the way my instructor taught us to apply the readings and lessons to everyday life seemed out-of-the-ordinary. AP English Literature and Composition is so much more than “the English class…

This setting is all too familiar, it seems just like yesterday when Ashley walked into a classroom for the first time in over thirteen years. Her English teacher was standing there with a wicked smile on her face as if she was already having a bad day. Upon entry Ashley smiled and said, " good morning" and Mrs. Jones replied.
