Last Blog Post of the Year :,(

What was the most fun/engaging activity that you did in ELA this year? Why was it fun/engaging?
The most fun and engaging activity that I did in ELA this year was reading A Raisin in the Sun out loud due to the reason that we got to play it out, and we got understand the story behind the author which made me feel closer to the book.
What was the most boring activity that you did this year? Why was it boring?
The least fun and engaging activity that I did this year was the response project to Maus and this was due to the reason that I had to do a research paper. Overall, even though it was boring, I learned a lot about writing a proper research paper. 
What was your favorite book this year? Why?
My favorite book this year was The Great Gatsby because the entire book made me rethink several things in our American society today. Also, the book is beautifully written, even though it was a bit confusing at first, I still l learned a lot. 
What was your least favorite book this year? Why?
My least favorite book this year was Maus due to the reason that I felt as though the seminars were repetitive, but I did learn a lot about the Holocaust.
What should I definitely keep the same for next year's ELA curriculum? Why?
You should keep the Response Project for next year because doing those projects are really fun and creative yet we learned a lot about the topic we choose. Also, the presentations allowed us to see the perspectives of our peers.
What should I definitely change for next year's ELA curriculum? Why?
I believe that you should, if possible, increase the amount of seminars we have in class because this way we could practice our seminar skills. Practicing our seminar skills would allow us to become better young adults and be ready to communicate in the world. 
Is there anything else that you would like to tell me about your experience in ELA? If so - please put it here.
I would like to say thank you so much Ms. Harrison because both my writing skills and communicating skills have improved due to the exercises we have done in ELA. This year was amazing! (:
