I cannot believe that the first semester of senior year is almost over! This class has taught me so much. I think I benefited most from all the essays we write. Even though they are not the most fun thing to do, I feel that my understanding of the prompts and my writing in general has improved tremendously. Some things that I liked are the clips from Hamlet, the movie The Importance of Being Earnest, and the DI's we talked about with our small groups.
One thing that I did not like was the short story unit. I found it hard to find all of the hidden meanings in the texts. Most of the stories were dark and depressing which makes them more difficult to read. I didn't mind some of the stories like "Most Dangerous Game" and "The Drunkard", but most were just not fun to read.
I am looking forward to the project we will do next semester with our final project proposals. I think this is a really good project and I am very interested in it. Next semester I hope that we have a unit on poetry; I have always been a fan of poetry. I am quite content with the class, and I don't feel anything needs to be changed.
I also wrote about wanting a unit on poetry! I can see how the short story unit may not have been the most interesting, but I actually enjoyed that unit more than the drama unit. It definitely took me a while to analyze Hamlet.
