Final Reflection

What was your favorite lesson this year and why?

My favorite lesson was the Looking for Alaska Unit, this Unit was filled both emotionally and academically. This was probably my favorite book that we read this year and enjoyed the discussions. I also enjoyed writing a paper about it because I was never at a loss of words.

What was your least favorite lesson this year? Why?

My least favorite lesson was the Taming of the Shrew Unit, mostly because it was interrupted by snow days and the information and discussion was disturbed so many times that I could never get into the play.

Academically, what have you learned from this class?

I have further improved my thesis statements, learned how to analyze poetry, learned how to analyze novels thoroughly and decipher different symbols and meanings, write without much repetition, and to not simply write about what happened, but instead why it happened.  

What life lessons have you learned from this class?

I have learned that I have it much better than most people and am blessed to have a home and family that cares for me. I have also learned that persistence pays off.

What can I change and improve upon as an educator to make this class more beneficial for future classes?

The only thing I would change about what we did this year that could better future classes is to review multiple choice questions more throughout the year.

Final thoughts and opinions

I have had a great year and learned many new thing academically and emotionally, while furthering my skills in literature as well as life.
