This English Class is...average. Honestly, I'm not particularly happy with some of the things we've been doing, or the space of time we have between projects. I always thought of this class as a literary structure/creative writing class, whereas it has become much more project-based than I had originally thought. I love sitting down and writing a short blurb about writers' block or the way the sun hits the side of a building, or the reasoning behind Marxism. I'm not so enthusiastic about making a podcast on Garageband.
Although, I have to admit, the year hasn't been unenjoyable. I've been having a good time with the projects, despite their unorthodoxy. I've read the Crucible, the Bean Trees, and The Natural, all of which were books I'd d]never read before. I learned about the Salem Witch Trials, Ray Bradbury, and several other things about the books involved, as well as a few new words. I loved learning about Fahrenheit 451 especially, because I love that book. I’m not sure how we can incorporate technology more into the classroom. Honestly, I’m not enthusiastic about adding more technology to the class either.
I’m doing very well in the class, though. I need to make sure that my homework comes in on time, though, so I can maintain my A.
P.S. Mr. Schreiber, you’re doing great. Please be very clear about the homework assignments, though. Sometimes what you are asking is misconstrued to me, causing communication errors that usually result in later work. I know that’s my fault as well, but please work with me here. ;D
