Dear Classmates

Dear Classmates,

English 1 is finally over! For some of us that may be a good thing and for some of us that will be a bad thing! I think in my case, its a bitter sweet ending, because i have learned many new things and many new writing techniques. But at the same time, i'm ready for a new experience with writing. Since i am in dr. D's advisory, this year will not be my last year with her.

I feel bad for the people that dont do their work, or the people who dont pay attention in class, because next year will be a wake up call! Even though all of the homework that we have been put through, all of the hard tests that we have overcome, and all of the vocab cards, all of this was to help us grow in english! And for those who haven't done that will have a true loss next year because this homework helped with our grades and it helped with our overall knowledge of english. 

My Participation

this year i have followed general procedures well. I always come to class prepared, i normally wait to be dismissed, i use the bathroom and get water during class but most of the time i wait. I am very good at checking my email and the website daily. I also am good at turning in assignments at the beginning of class. I also have a helpful attitude. 

I always listen to the teacher and take effiecient notes, i am ALWAYS on topic, because i think it is rude to not be on topic, but one of my problems is that sometime i engage in side conversations. I always do my own work because i think it benefits my learning. I think i have stayed the same regarding my participation this year because i have always been good at these things. 

Overall Outside Reading

This year, i have learned that i love chick flicks! I also learned that i hate reading informational reading like non fiction. I really don't like those. I am a fast reader whenever i like the book, but if i dont like the book then i read really slow. Half of the time i have to re-read what i had just read because i didnt take in any information from what i had read.  Surprisingly, i have gone out of my comfort zone. I ask librarians for good books and even if they may not be something that i would normally read, i try them and some of these boks were actually good.

I haven't used much from class in my outside reading. I havent payed attention to literary elements or themes. The only time i used these skills was whenever i was reading my french book. Right now i am reading "someone Like you" by sarah dessen and i dont think that i will be finished by the end of the year. Or at least i wont have time to read another book.

Lady Macbeth's thoughts

I, lady macbeth want to be queen myself! I will do anything and i want to do anything to make that happen! That includes killing the current king and his son so my husband will become king and i will become queen. I can't wait to become queen. I would have so much fame, riches, and needs. We have decided to kill the king and i can't wait!

My husband macbeth is a little scared to kill duncan. I, on the other hand, can't wait! it will be thrilling, but i know that it isnt for the thrill of the murder but for the placement of queen. As i said before, i will do anything. It makes me mad that my dear macbeth is doubting himself. I know that he can do it and if he doesnt then he isnt a true man! It makes me so mad that he is so wishy washy with his feelings towards the idea of murder!
