What I really enjoyed this year in English was the film
presentation where it was based off of the Academy Awards and everyone had to
argue a movie that they thought was the best of all time. We all got to dress
up fancily and present a fifteen minute project to the class. It was
interesting to watch the unique projects being presented. I believe that my
group did very well on that project since we put a lot of time and effort into
the presentation. As well as the fact that we won the award for “Best Most
Powerful Moment” with our film Guardians of the Galaxy. Overall it was a pretty
fun project to take part in, since the whole day had a different feel to it. One
thing I didn’t like about this year was how long it took to complete the novel
The Road. Although the novel was pretty interesting, it was quite slow so it
felt dragged on. It took a lot of time to interpret what was being said in the
novel and that made it last even longer. It became boring after a while which
made me lose interest in it. Something I wouldn’t mind doing again but would
change would be the blogs. They were really interesting but instead of having
given topics, I wish we could have chosen our own topics from the list of 1000
Awesome Things for all of our blogs. I believe that the blogs would be more
creative since the students could find motivation in what they were writing
about. With the blogs this year, I specifically enjoyed the one where I got to
choose my own topic because I was given the ability to choose a topic that I wanted
write about. With that topic I was able to create a reasonably funny post which
I enjoyed writing. So if I were to write blogs again, I would appreciate having
the choice to choose what I write about. Overall, I really enjoyed English 20-1
because of my classmates and teacher, as well as the curriculum. The individuals
in my class really helped in making this a fun year for me in English.
