Rich Nesbit
Introduction
English 9 is a class that at some points can be very hard and very easy. You always have to pay attention not matter what is happening. Some easy parts are book talks if you read your book. The teacher will also give you time in class to read your book. A hard part is staying organized. With all the papers you get it is very hard to stay organized.
Overview
In english you will read many short stories and also take multiple test on them. You will also create your own poem at the end of the year. Some of the stories you will read are The Most Dangerous Game, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Scarlet ibis etc. You will also read divergent and watch the movie. In the book there are some interesting parts but i would say the movie is a lot more interesting.
Independent Reading/Book Talks
Independent reading is worth a lot of points, so you have to read your book on your own. In order to do the book talk you fill out post it notes and put them in parts of the book that catch your eye. You will also do a book talk with Mrs. Allen. You literally talk about the book and tell her your favorite parts.
Favorites
What i liked best was reading the book divergent. Divergent was very interesting because you were put into a faction with a group, you worked with that group throughout the book. You will also watch the movie. The movie is very interesting because there are people in each faction and they have to overcome challenges.
Not So Favorites
My not so favorite was reading monster. Monster to me was just like a dragging story. It mainly talked about a kid who was innocent the whole time. Steve harmon is the main character, and he doesn't even cause any trouble.
