Course Improvements/Suggestions

English 12 has been an eye-opening experience for me. There have been things I've really enjoyed learning about and things I have seen as uninteresting. I have enjoyed reading the book Tuesdays with Morrie written by Mitch Albom the most. It has changed my perspective on life and I want to change the way I am living. I feel a deep connection with Morrie even though I have never met him in person. His words take a place in my heart and I stand behind his values. I also enjoyed the survival unit but I did not enjoy reading the book given to me. In my opinion it was dry and had no suspense. I did enjoy interviewing the veterans for the Veteran's History Project, however my vet did not have many war stories to tell. He mostly talked about traveling, drinking and girls. Although exciting, I did not receive much information to use in the project. Overall, I think this course needs less video projects considering its an English class and not multimedia production. There should be a lot more reading and writing in this course. English is meant to teach you how to write properly, not how to make videos. In years to come I think this course can improve through more interesting novels to read for the survival project and by focusing more on the writing aspect of the class. In conclusion, this class was a learning experience for me. I had a wonderful and engaging teacher with a great sense of humor. The End.
