Goals

What I am expecting from my English 4 class:

• To gain knowledge while having fun
  • Different activities and assignments
• To advance my reading and writing skills
  • I would like to compare pieces from the beginning of the year and the end of the year and be able to physically see how I have improved
• Be introduced to new forms of literature that will make me think and will grasp my mind as a reader
• Provide opportunities for me to write in different genres
• To prepare me for what is to come in my college English classes

 

What I am expecting out of myself as a reader:

• Keep an open mind about assigned books
  • Don’t judge it before you read it
• Step out of my comfort zone and appreciate a wider variety of books
• Be presented with books that will make me think and strive to find a deeper meaning
  • Be able to analyze text
• Read longer or more difficult books
  • Will lead to more thinking
  • Try something new
• Choose genres that I would have never chosen before this class
  • Might think that I won’t like the genre, but maybe I will

 

What I am expecting out of myself as a writer:

• More description
  • Show don’t tell
• Advanced word choice
  • Don’t be vague and sound illiterate
• Try different genres
  • Find out what I like and don’t like
  • Find what I’m good at
