ENC1102
is almost over! This summer has gone by so fast! I have really enjoyed the
class and I’m so glad I got switched into it! The things I liked most about the
class were, of course, the teacher Mrs. Pilcher, the students I got to know in
the class, the assignments we received, and the laid back atmosphere. Mrs.
Pilcher is such a wonderful teacher and so great with kids! I met a lot of people
in the class that I never would have seen before! And most of them lived in
DeGraff too! The power point assignment really made the guys and I get close,
now we group message each other on our iPhones all the time. It honestly gets
kind of annoying, but they’re pretty cool kids. I loved the assignments we got
and how the class was so laid back and relaxed. I can’t even think of anything
that I particularly disliked about the class! Maybe I dreaded it because it
made me get out of bed, but once I got there I was fine, ha ha! Most of the
topics discussed in the class I already had some idea about, but relearning
them really helped. I learned some things about MLA specifically that I wasn’t
aware of. Going over it in depth really helped a lot, especially with the
writing process of our papers. I liked
how we did a game with MLA the topic. It made it a fun topic and it was just what
we needed after a long class. I also am more comfortable with writing research
papers and reflecting on American pop culture. Since all of our papers focused
on culture, it’s now a topic that I understand more. I liked the topics
assigned to the class for the written papers we had to complete, because they
were our choice, even though they were focused around a central topic. I also
really enjoyed writing the blogs! It was a good way to express ourselves in a
non-formal way. I personally love blogs and how they are set up. Createing it had
to be my favorite part. I love how we were allowed to be creative and do
whatever we wanted with the layout of the blog. As for the readings required
for class, the discussion about them is what really made them helpful. Our time
spent in the class room was well-spent, informative and a lot of fun! I loved
how Mrs. Pilcher really took extra time to get to know each of her students and
really form a relationship with them. Most teachers, even in small settings
such as ours, don’t care to know who their students are. That is what I loved
the most about Mrs. Pilcher. She made class a lot of fun and had a great sense
of humor that I think the whole class loved! I’m really going to miss her and
this class, and I hope my other English classes can be just as good, because
now my expectations are very high!
