This is a compendium of timed responses, vocab stories and other personal written responses by students in Ms. Reyes's English 12 class.
“Read, read, read. Read everything – trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.” ~William Faulkner

One morning, I arrived a little bit late at school. Suddenly, I bumped to my friend but she just smile at me SACCHARINELY. I wondered why did she act like that. I followed her because she was acting BRUSQUELY. When I got to her, it was OVERT that she wanted to TRAVERSE from me, until she got LIVID and burst into tears. She told me that she didn’t mean to act like BOORISH, she just want me to be ALOOF. She told me about her problem and started to CURTAIL her patience. She was ODIOUSLY mad. I found out what really her problem was and I understand her. For now, I just want to ESPOUSE and TEMPER her and I believed that she will be okay and moved on about it.
I was reading a students essay when I realized it is was OVERT that his essay was plagiarized. His topic was TRITE and LACKLUSTER yet easy to get from the internet. I will have to speak with the principle so that she may CHASTISE him for this REPREHENSIBLE act. The feel of the essay was LANGUID, and the SYNTAX was not there. It is essays like this that make my job TENUOUS and makes me BOORISH in class. I LAMENT the CURTAIL of students and people who enjoy having a wide vernacular and ability to write. A person should have a PLETHORA of knowledge that they can write down on a piece of paper to share it with the world. Students now seem to use each others work as their own, gaining no experience for themselves. You should HONE your ability to write and ENSHROUD yourself in that ability.
