Class Evaluation!

1. I think I have grown as a student in this class by realizing that my ideas about literature aren't stupid. Everyone sees things differently, and that's okay. I think have to really pick apart all the literature really challenged me. I am used to just reading a text and then moving on. As a writer I think I improved on writing in the right perspective. I was always switching between the first and second. I also think I am doing better at explaining things.

2. I actually liked reading blankets, and after reading the poems and hearing some of the discussion i enjoyed those too. I struggled the most with the play. It was really hard for me to understand that type of language. I prevented me from getting into the play at all.

3. No. I always thought it could be looked at as literacy. There are many different forms and graphic novels are just a very odd one. I have found that I like reading graphic novels. I like having a picture to go with the words, and then I get a better understanding of how the character is feeling. They really grew on me!

4. I enjoyed blogging, I had never done it before and I thought it was fun. I liked being able to respond to everyone's posts, and to get a better understanding of what other people were thinking about the literature that we had been reading. My least favorite was discussion. I'm not very good at sharing my ideas openly. I like to keep them to myself. It's hard for me to get comfortable with new people and share my ideas.

5. I think I am better prepared to think critically about literature. I definitely think I could pick apart literature and look for different elements that were used to create it. I don't think I was hoping for anymore. I'm just glad we didn't have to read long plays. I think that is sooo hard!!!
