Words of Wisdom from Students

One thing I learned this semester is
  • that you can learn everything and be acceptable if you are interested in your subject and pay attention. (Diana)
  • to keep on improving my writing each time even if you have an A on your essay (anonymous).
  • that Abraham Lincoln wrote short speeches and there are a lot of good authors out there (Dennis).
  • writing an essay can be fun (Jacob).
  • that short stories have more meaning than what they show. (Lesley)
  • that I can get an A in English without feeling like I am a failure at everything I write (anonymous).
  • new words to put in my vocabulary (Violet).

One question I still have is
  • What are we reading next semester? (Kimberly)
  • What's the next story we read going to be about? (Lazaro)
  • What are we doing next semester? (Milagros, Michelle)
  • How I managed to get through this semester? (Katherine)
  • Will we be writing more autobiographical essays or was that the only one? (Maria)

What helped me learn best is
  • by reading stories and then watching the film about it. This really helped me to visualize and picture the events of the story. For example, for my essay on the Odyssey I was able to do a better job because I saw the Cyclops and the settings which helped me to write a more interesting essay that could entertain the reader (Jennifer).
  • working in groups and watching a movie of the story that we read in class (Jadine).
  • the fact that after reading we would watch a movie (Victoria).
  • going back and remembering the moments that are important in my life (Jaila).
  • my parents reminding me to do my best (Noe).
