Reflection Over Entire Semester

The literature we have analyzed has been very intriguing this semester. Some of it has opened my eyes to how our world is cruel even if it doesn't seem like. It was a very good idea to let the students pick their own memoirs to read because the books that were chosen may have connected to the student's personal life. I found The Laramie Project to be one of the most interesting topics this semester because of the debate between whether everything happened because of bias or meth. It was interesting how much convolution happens in our society right under our noses.

There are a couple things I hope for net semester. Presenting the memoir was very difficult, even if I didn't do it in front of the class. I know what I want to say but the right words don't come out. Improvements will hopefully come in my public speaking. I think the blogs were a good idea to monitor what students reactions were but I felt that a couple of them were pointless.

This class has helped me to grow as a person. I have learned many values from the prompts we discuss and that helped me to see both sides of an argument and how everyone could have viable points. The college essay rough drafts helped me to structure an essay about myself as well as prepare me for college.
Overall, this has been one of my best LA classes and I think that no changes need to take place though.
