English 2
The class I am newly taking this year is English 2. My teacher is Mrs. Millar. What I expect and want to learn going into this class is new literary terms and different styles and techniques of writing skills. Also, I want to learn how to write free verse writing and different types of poems. So far into the school year we talked about the expecting topics that we are going to learn, and we learned a total of 65 new literary terms. In addition, for extra credit we are allowed to create a story, write sentences, or create flashcards with the definitions and a visual illustration to make you understand the term.
Recently, in English 2 we had a literary term quiz. Before the quiz we had to write the definitions of the terms and then we worked in groups to illustrate what each term. In addition, we played an educational learning game on the literary devices that were going to be on the quiz the next day. I noticed that playing the game made it competitive and made all of the students want to participate.
Moreover, what I am looking forward to this year is the expected field trip we are suppose to go on. We are required to maintain a certain GPA and are required to read a book before attending the trip. We are planning to go to New York and we are going to have clues based on the book. Once the class found out about the trip everyone was immediately interested. What I want to expect to learn by the end of the year is writing descriptive essays and to further enjoy learning about English!
