Learning is Changing: English

To me English is the class of all classes, without English you can’t really function in any other classes. English is incorporated in all classes ranging from science to history. Yesterday I took a science test on astronomy and one of the parts to this test was an essay question. I found the test decently difficult and was relieved when I go to the essay question. I have developed the ability to make myself sound more intelligent in an essay when I really have no idea what it is really talking about. I have had teachers tell me repeatedly that the essay question is what saved my grade. I started thinking about why and how this works. I think that often people overlook the actual content when the writing sounds good, and is fluent. This is partly the idea of symphony, that it is important to have all parts to a piece of writing. I f someone just lists off facts, that is much less interesting to read than a well written paragraph. You need to have the whole package to be really successful.
