Since Myah requested that it be on the blog, I thought I'd post it for her. (:

Beneficial
These last few weeks I have been noticing more and more people who take ERW are expanding their vocabulary and enjoying things, like the blog, or writing that we as teenagers usually wouldn't enjoy. I think we can all agree that ERW within the two months we've spent in there so far have been extremely beneficial. The past English classes I have taken weren't exactly challenging or teaching me anything I didn't already know, which I know is partly my fault for not signing up for more challenging classes. However, I feel that each grade levels work should become more stimulating and progress as the students progress. I still have yet to understand how spending 2 years in a row reading stories and answering packets filled with questions ALL YEAR LONG was expanding my English skills ...oh right, it didn't ... Any who, in this class I feel that I am actually learning new things and getting things done . I would never think that I, of all people, would absentmindedly use the words "banal" or "myriad" in my everyday vocabulary . Or that even my friends from cheer would start referencing things to do with our class like putting things on the blog, as if we had one for cheer . I want to thank Mrs.Fletcher in advance for sharing her knowledge to further our English skills and also for not giving us large packets of questions on random stories .

Yay! Thanks Bryana I needed it too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, last year I had Mr. Pendleton and literally all we did was read stories out of the book and answer boring questions as well as write tons and tons of essays! It was extremely agitating because I felt the class was useless. I'm happy that I did decide to take ERW though sometimes the workload can be flustering but, I'm thankful that I have Mrs. fletcher to guide me through the year with actual work and not work that has nothing to do with the standard.
