Wow! One fourth of the year is gone. Those days have gone by so quickly.
Looking back to the first day in September I realize this english class was my first impression of high school. There has been a great deal of lessons, units, and assignments. As I sit here thinking about the units of which I could write this blog on, I feel that there are so many important ones to choose from. My favorite assignment thus far has been making a movie for Pride and Prejudice because I enjoyed acting very much. Yet, I think the most important lesson has been learning to correctly write a thesis statement. The ability to summarize a paper, poem, essay, lab write up, thank you note, etc. no matter what the length is very important. Before, when I would write a paper I would spend maybe a minute creating one. Now I know the thesis is the base of the paper and must be spot on perfect. This is a skill that will no go away. It will be used not only in english class, but in every class for the rest of my years in education. It is thrilling to know I am improving in this area, and I am very thankful for being taught this unit so early in my high school years.
