My History With English

English has always been my favourite subject because I like learning new concepts and learning how to write poems and short stories. In past years I have gotten a chance to have great teachers like Mrs.Farrant who taught me different themes and along with  many concepts and poetry terms she's a great teacher I am so lucky  for having her as my grade 8 english teacher and for grade 9 I had Mrs.Yahn who taught me how to write a multi paragraph and taught me many more poetry terms and how to write poems she is also a great teacher. For both years I think I have gotten a B and this year I am aiming for an A. Two things I need to do to get an A this year is to focus more and ask questions if I don't understand how to do something. For grade 8 I read a novel called the The Outsider's and I did a big theme project about the book and in my opinion it's a good book. In past years I have learned many different poetry terms such as alliteration , allusion , personification , imagery ,  onomatopoeia , rhyme , simile , stanza and metaphor and also how to write various types of poems such as a limerick , rhyming , shape , haiku and color poem and I have also learned how to write 2 different types of paragraphs a multi paragraph and the normal 3 paragraph to start the paragraph you need a really good topic sentence which is also known as the hook of a paragraph which I feel I need to improve on. In grade 7 my teacher made the class write blog posts about various themes and topics so I have some some experience with blogger and writing blog posts. With my past experience from other grades I hope this english class is just as great as my previous english classes .

  1. I had Ms. Yahn too. She's so nice and such a good teacher. She makes everything easier to understand.
