Dear Class 811 and Ms.
Galang,
I’ve had a lot of memories of our time together in
English class. There were some really great lessons and times we had together,
and some fun activities that we did. One of my favorite overall units was the
Romeo and Juliet unit. I really enjoyed reading the book, and being able to act
out parts in class. There were also a lot of really fun activities that we did
for Romeo and Juliet, like reenacting the party at Capulet manor, or doing
little two person scenes, like when Juliet and Romeo meet for the first time.
IT was also helpful, because this unit gave me a better understanding of
Shakespeare’s works, and how to understand and read them. It was also a lot of
fun putting on the play in the auditorium, plus it gave me an even better
understanding of the play and of my role (Romeo). It was also a lot of fun
though because it helped to connect with other people in the class and have
some last moments with them before the year ended.
I also really enjoyed the poetry unit. I thought it was a
really great way to express ourselves and learn more about other people. Plus
we could practically write about whatever we wanted to, so it was nice getting
a break from having to write something specific to having no boundaries. I also
learned a lot about different kinds of poetry and different literary devices
which I think will help me in the future when writing poetry, or just writing
anything overall. I thought it was a good way to just write, and we didn’t have
to worry about what people would think because we didn’t have to share it if we
didn’t want to. I also liked it because it gave us the ability to write from
the heart, and that was really cool.
My hopes and goals for writing and reading in English
next year in high school is to help broaden my writing skills, and to learn how
to understand ad read texts in a more in depth way. I think this year will
definitely help me in the future, writing wise, because I learned a lot about
how to write, but more importantly, to understand what I read and write, and
that’s it’s not just words on a page, but a lot more than that.
Sincerely,
Benjamin
