Introduction to 9th Grade
Hey, I'm Dylan. English 9 can be as easy as you make it. If you work hard, and do all your work, it will be very easy for you. In English 9, you will do all sorts of things from reading The Hunger Games ,to righting poetry. If you give everything your all, English 9 will be a fun class.
The Hunger Games
My favorite thing to read this year was The Hunger Games because it was fun reading the book ,then watching the movie. I watched the movie before reading the book, and it was cool seeing how much more descriptive, and diverse the book is compared to the movie. We also listened to the book in class on an audio recording.
Monster
I liked reading the book Monster. It was an interesting read because the book was set up like the script of a movie. It was a really fun book to read the book out loud, and everybody would be a different character. I really thought the ending to this book was very realistic, and unique.
The Odyssey
My 2nd favorite thing to read about was the Odyssey. I loved reading about the journey of Odysseus and what obstacles him and his men came about. How Odysseus used his intelligence to get out of tough situations, he was also very cocky and arrogant which got him into a lot of trouble.
Independent Reading
I liked doing independent reading this year. I liked how we could pick out any book we wanted of the section we were reading about. I liked all the books I picked out. Mrs. Allen loves when students read their book by themselves and like it. I loved doing the book talks after the book. Talking about the book, and expressing how i thought about the climax, the ending and everything else.
