M.+Course+Reflection

This year has really changed my opinion about English. Last year, and the past years I have been in English it was always a struggle for me. I would always dread going to the class. I think it was because of my teachers, not because I did not like them but because they were so serious and boring. This year was fun, we played games every once and a while and were always starting on a new project. I have come a long way this year because I make reached my goal of making and A or B in this class, started actually reading the books assigned, and have learned how to write better.

This year I started out thinking or hoping for at least a C. I did not know I could actually get a really good grade on English until I had you as a teacher. I am sure you here something like this every year, you are one of the best teachers I have ever had. You take time with each student when they need help and I really like that. You have helped me realize that it takes work, but I can do it. I made a goal earlier this year and I met it, with your help.

In the past when a book was assigned I would never read it. I would try and read the first chapter that was assigned but I never understood the book. My teachers never went over the text in detail, so I would give up and not read it. This year you have gone over the books assigned, every chapter. That has helped me a lot, now I like to read the books so I can contribute to the conversation and really understand what I am reading. The books that we have read have been interesting and fun to read.

I also learned how to write a lot better this year. I used to just throw commas in where ever they looked like they would fit. I had forgotten when and where to use them. I have not been over the basic fundamentals in years. I am really glad that you went over them because I was always lost, every time I was assigned a writing assignment. Now I know when and where to use them, which makes writing more enjoyable.

This year has been a lot of fun. I honestly do appreciate all the time and effort you have spent working with me this year. You helped me a lot all this year, I learned so much from you. I am kind of sad to move on next year because I do not know if I will get another teacher like you. I am sure you read this in every paper but I am going to say it anyways, I am going to miss you next year Mrs.Szymczak.
