Letter

To all of my fellow block 4 classmates,

I have not had this much fun in an English class in a long time. This year was filled with a lot of fun that we shared throughout the days and actually made this year bearable. With all of the songs, arguments, and laughter that we shared, we shared a combined group that bonded as the year has come to an end. I have honestly never felt more happy being in an English class and it was all thanks to you guys.
 This year, in the beginning, I did not know what to expect. As I glanced around the room, I took a mental survey on what to expect from all of the new kids, and I must say I was quite surprised. The kids this year were so smart and boosted our classes intellect level a lot. I will miss this class and hope that everyone does well in the future and strives to work their hardest. Thank you Block 4 English!

 This quarter, it seems like my performance started to taper down as we got further into the quarter. I feel like this has to do with my laziness and excitement for the summer to start. So far this quarter, I feel as though I really could have done better had I put in a lot more effort. I really dislike poetry and plays, which is what the quarter was more geared toward, therefore, I feel that that also had a direct impact on my performance in class.

 With general procedures, I really didn't do as well as I probably should have, now let's be fair, I wasn't terrible, but I should've done better. I was good at bringing in materials (most kids should be) but my downfall was not always turning in homework on time.I also checked email daily, and followed up with the teacher when it was needed.Usually I was cooperative, but some days I just had bad days and didn't treat Dr.D right. I think I contributed a lot to the classes discussions in a good way. I came prepared daily with relevant comments or questions that may have arose overnight. I didn't take notes as I am more of a visual or auditory learner. I was also good at listening to my peers and taking things from a perspective other than my own. I'l be honest, I did engage in side conversations a few times, but I was mostly on task.With my individual and group work I think i did excellent. I was very helpful to my groupmates and I worked honestly for myself. I think this was an overall good quarter.

Outside reading recap

This year I have been more welcome to reading anything that comes my way. I have been a lot more interested in Non- Fiction and post-colonial novels. This year I have enjoyed reading recommended books from my peers as many of them know what books are very interesting to read. I especially like the suggestions that I received from Jerry Dunbar and Justin Rogstad. I have progressed a lot as a reader this year and hope that it continues this way. This year I have also enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone in reading, and Nervous Conditions was an immense help with that

Next year I want to start reading the books that I didn't have time for this year. I wanted to start reading the Hunger Games series this year, however I didn't have enough time for it. My friends Andrew and James McGaugh really enjoy the books and they said I will too, so I will read it. Next year I also hope that my teacher picks difficult books to read. I know we read The Great Gatsby, which is an awesome book. I don't like poetry though, so I want less of that. 

Macbeth

Due to the three witches telling me that fate will make me king, I must either allow fate to do it, or take matters into my own hands. My wife thinks that in order to reach this position I will have to go in a blood bath to the top. My wife and I have now both agreed that the only way for me to reach royalty is for me to kill Duncan to give up his position, however, for me it is not that simple. I am loyal to Duncan and I must not do this. Or maybe I can do it without looking, as if allowing my hands to act on their own. We have finally done the deed, and have been covering up pretty well, I even had to kill the guards in "rage" to cover up for my murder. Finally I have been crowned king.
