How have you grown as a student?
-Personally, I've learned how to get the things I want, using persuasion techniques. Ever since I've learned these techniques, the amount of things I've wanted and gotten, has increased. Whether it's from my parents or friends.
1. How has this course prepared you?
-It's taught me how to write another strategy and form of English writing.
2. How has this course prepared you for life?
Many other courses such as Algebra 2 leave teens wondering, "When will I ever use this?" Unlike the other courses, APLAC truelly is a course that is fundamental in our lives. It allows us to explain ourselves when writing as well as understand other forms of text.
3. Which essay did you feel was the most difficult to write? Why?
Rhetorical was definitely the hardest essay for me to write. Mainly because I didn't study the terms.
4. Which essay did you find the easiest? What made it easy?
Argumentation was the easiest essay for me personally. The information was already there and it only took a few minutes to group up information that either was supporting or refuting my claim.
5. What novel/book did you enjoy the most? Why?
I personally despised the nature of having to be forced to read a book. I'd often read another book, along side the task of reading the school book. So I can truelly say I enjoyed it, it was more of reading it and getting it done.
6. What novel/book did you enjoy the least?
Like I said before, the whole notion of being forced to read about was not something I personally enjoyed. But the Great Gatsby seemed like the book I enjoyed the least, not because of its content but because everyone around me seemed to always but in and ruin certain parts of the book. For example, Gatsby's death.
7. Anything you would like for me to know?
Keep being awesome Mr. Thomas. You're definitely a teacher that all teachers should model off. You understand teens and our "busy" lives. You understand that we are lazy developing humans, yet you manage to find a medium that allows us to be efficient as well. You connect with us on a completely different level. I'm looking forward to a great year of MUN with you amd the rest of the group.
