Assignment 26- Katelyn Rowell- Year in Review

English is usually my least favorite subject in school. I’m fine with grammar and learning the mechanics of writing, but I hate the idea of having to sit down and write an essay. That being said, at the start of junior year, I thought I would dread this class. But I was actually surprised. Having 6th hour Lang was a nice way to end the day. I enjoyed all the fun and random videos we watched, especially after a day full of long classes. Looking back, I appreciate the relaxed environment of the classroom. It was helpful to grade and talk about the essays as a group. However, when we first started grading, it felt like we spent an eternity getting through all the essays. Sometimes the same comments were repeated over and over. Towards the end of the year, we began setting timers for commentary as a group, and this really helped us to keep moving. Going forward, I think it would be beneficial to continue to set timers so that it doesn’t take quite as long to get through all the essays. Overall, I feel like my writing improved and that the class prepared me well for the ACT. It’s weird to think that we will never have 6th hour Lang again. I’m going to miss the fun videos and random conversations.
