What are the three most important things I learned this year?
I learned much about poetry and many different famous poets. I also learned about how life could be like for migrant workers in the Great Depressions and about the people of my classmates' biography projects.
What is something we did this year that I think I'll remember for the rest of my life?
I think I'll remember almost everything in this class from the vocab tests to the biography project.
What is the nicest thing someone's done for me this year?
I can't think of anything significantly nice besides my friends helping me with whatever I needed. They helped me with many questions and problems I had in ELA.
What is something that I taught my teacher or classmates this year?
By the time that you're reading this, I will have taught Edgar Allan Poe's impact on society and literature.
In what area do I feel I made my biggest improvements? What is something I accomplished this year that I am proud of?
I feel like I have made bigger improvements on argumentative essay writing. I'm proud of almost all of my assignments because I was able to get them done and show my effort.
-What was the most challenging part of this year for me?
The most challenging part of this year for me was probably getting ready to present a monologue in front of my class because of how I made it and things about the presentation that bugged me and my confidence.
What was the best piece of writing I did this year? Why do I think it's my best?
I think my nonsense poem was my best piece of writing this year because it was my assignment and an inside joke in one poem.
Of the books I read this year, which was my favorite? Why?
Out of all the books that I've read this year, "The Fourth Stall" was probably my favorite. I probably liked this book more than others because of the concept of a middle school kid running a criminal organization in his school. There was also the plot twists and emotional moments in the book that made it even better.
What advice would I give to students who will be in this class next year?
It might seem like you get a lot of homework in this class. It can be heavy sometimes but you'll get it done. Just do the assignments and you'll have a good time in ELA.
