This class was tough.
Course Overview:
I recommend this course, because it is truly a cour]se to be reckoned with. The level of expertise gained from taking this course is uncanny. Albeit there is tons of writing, one's ability to comprehend the world and the English structure after taking this class will be at its highest.
Course highlights:
One particular highlight would have to be the research portion. Learning how to research and write a formal paper for college professors.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
Read! Read! Read! It's very important you READ the given material in order to pass this class.
Not too easy. Not too difficult.
Course Overview:
The class teaches you how to think.
Course highlights:
I have gained many insights of History through the English course. I have also learned much about Romanticism, Enlightenment, and most of all the Modernism era. Throughout Modernism we see a pull from Romanticism. Modernism tends to be constructed with a simple narrative, however there is always a deeper meaning behind the text.
Hours per week:
3-5 hours
Advice for students:
Keep up with the reading, and don't fall behind.
This class was tough.
Course Overview:
It is a very fun class to take, even though it does require reading and discussion on the students part. Mrs. Berry is a great teacher to have for this course because she understands that not everyone learns the same and not everyone likes to discuss in front of the entire class.
Course highlights:
We read some amazing books such as "In Cold Blood," "The Road," "The Scarlet Letter," as well as our own choice at the end of the year. After each novel, we had to write an essay on specific topics. At the end of the year, we were allowed to choose a novel that has been challenged or banned from schools around the world. I personally loved this assignment because not only did I have the chance to read "The Kite Runner," but I was also able to write an essay explaining why it should be read in schools and how it benefits students in many ways that you cannot receive without reading challenged books.
Hours per week:
9-11 hours
Advice for students:
You should definitely ask questions when you don't understand something because if you don't, you'll just stay confused and that confusion will just grow as the year progresses.
