Blog #7 English This Year

English this year was really fun.  All the films and projects we did were a blast especially the Calgary Academy Awards and the Poetry anthology project.  I do not really have a favourite part this year in English, because I enjoyed everything we did.  Whether you like a subject or not it most likely has to do a bit with the teacher.  I feel that marking hard on essays and assignments is a good thing because it is how they mark in Universities and Colleges.  It is good preparing for what is to come and what to expect later on in life.  All the films we watched matched all the questions we had to answer for essays.  There is not much I would change or want to change; I think overall it was an average year for everyone.  I know some people didn’t have the best year but I enjoyed it a lot.  The format and the chronical order we did things was fine, and I don’t have much to complain about since we could rewrite the essays if we got them in on time.  The idea of being able to rewrite an essay I feel is a good idea because it gives us a second chance.  Even though we will not be able to rewrite in Universities and Colleges it gives us, another opportunity to write better and gives us a better chance of doing better later on in life.  It also helps us improve in our writing an English overall is the most important subject because if you can’t communicate or write to people it can be difficult to find jobs and to understand what others are saying.  It helps when teachers are easy going but it also helps when they push you to finish projects assignments and on time because, once again you don’t get a second chance to rewrite or fix things in Universities and Colleges. Thank you Mrs. Harstone for an awesome year!
