During the first quarter we read 2 different stories, A sound of thunder and The Interlopers and then we wrote a compare and contrast essay on both of those short stories while pulling evidence from the both of them,
During the first quarter i learnt a lot about English in a whole, gained a more exquisite vocabulary which has indeed expanded my knowledge about the English language. i was able to write good essays with a very good structure. Also during the first quarter i read 3 different books and learnt about how to write a thesis and a summary for them. the different projects above are examples of the current path my teacher has put me on to achieve greatness. i have indeed learned a whole lot in this quarter, i hope to learn even more the next one.
During quarter 2 we had to read Nightjohn by Gary paulsen, and make a project that reflected that. I decided to do draw the house itself, the red house describe in the book. below is the house we designed.

In quarter 2 we had to read a comedy book and make an animoto. The book i read was Me, Earl and the dying girl by Jesse Andrews. The animoto is below.
After reading Nightjohn, we had to use what we learned and write a year long literary analysis paper. The rough draft was due in quarter 2. it is attached below.

In the 2nd quarter class operation was different. The good things about this new operation system was that it gave us self reliance and made us more responsible. The cons were some students couldn't manange themselves responsibly at times, creating a catastrophic environment at times, overall it was good learning experience. In these new system most things worked but a problem was getting the class quiet so the teacher could give instructions. Compared to my other classes i like this system much more becuase we are held to a higher standard and treated with more respect than our other teachers.
During quarter 2 we did a lot of different assignments, they were all good and interesting. the assignment i enjoyed the most was the Nightjohn project. I enjoyed reading the book as it took me through a time portal and i learned alot. The project was a lot of fun creating the poster. The project i wasnt looking forward too was the 5 page paper because i did not believe i had that much to say about a book, but as i started the project it became easier and i enjoyed it. In quarter 3 i am very excited to read oliver twist and wuthering heights, 2 classic novels, I look forward to it.
