English IV Reflection Paper

At the beginning of this year I knew how to write a formulated essay the night before it was due. This year I learned how to plan creative essay. Before this year I did not think that I could convey my thoughts and analyze if it wasn’t the classic formula. Now I know that I can and that the non-traditional way actually makes my points stronger. Our discussions in class allowed me to formulate ideas that I later used to write my paper. I really liked watching Hamlet because I absorbed the classic literature while getting an alternative source to compare it to. My hamlet essay was my favorite essay to write. I think that next year I will need that skill at Emerson where learning is not traditional. iPads made reading different but different was good once we switched to Subtext. Free reads was a fun and important activity because he helped me build my stamina and remember that I do love to read. I have loved all of my classes that I have taken with Dr. Forman. I know that I will have the study skills he has taught me, the confidence he has given me and the creativity that he has allowed me to explore forever.
