Ceilie's Post

I agree with all of the posts below, between the little things we do and freestyle writing, every English class is unique and enjoyable. One other aspect of English class I really benefit from and enjoy is the lessons we learn. When I think about it, I think I've learned more about life in this one class than I do in the real world. Between analyzing poems about what happiness truly is and writing essays about answering life's tough questions and how to go about answering them, I learn all I really need to know about life in just a forty-eight minute long class once a day. One suggestion I have for improving class would be to not grade our Daily Class Notes. I think the notes that we take and use as helpful reminders as to what we learned in class that day, shouldn't be a grade jotted down and a factor to our overall grade. Our Class Notes our something to assist us and improve quiz grades or help us remember requirements for an essay, not something to assist our average for the semester. (notice my purposeful repetition with assist.)
