One quarter down, three to go! I am pleased to report that many of you have taken great strides in meeting both your goals and mine for this class. Your writing has greatly improved, you have been exposed to many pieces of classic, well-written literature, and your vocabulary has flourished. You deserve a big pat on the back.
Although I am excited about what we have achieved so far, this is not the time to become complacent (look it up!). We still have a long way to go. I always enjoy the second half of my class more so than the first half because now we can get into the "cool" stuff. I think you will enjoy the novels and projects that await you. I also KNOW that you will learn much about literature, writing, and yourself. And, this is perhaps one of the best parts of my job - watching you all evolve into reflective, insightful people.
So, let's hit the ground running and make this quarter one to remember!

Last year I remember loving that I would never do anything worthwhile in my English class. That was because it gave me a break from everything to just to busy work every day. It was not preparing us for higher level classes or college in the long run. I definitely changed my mind on that this year when I notice how much English has really helped me and will help me later in life as well. Thanks for everything. (:
This has really been an excellent start to my junior year. I hope to enjoy this quarter as much as I enjoyed the first and I can't wait to start all this new "cool stuff" that the second quarter has to offer. You've proved to be an wonderful English teacher and I find your teaching methods extremely effective compared to other teachers who like to teach "from the book."
This year for me has been very challenging specially my English class. Eventhough it has been challenging I've learned a lot. This second half of the year will be very fun, because we won't be as worried about knowing how to write an essay, but it will be more about practicing and learning new stuff. I'm looking foward doing more projects and activities.And i am hoping the novels are fun. =)
