The poetry unit was defiantly a miss because I did not understand it. There was too many components to the unit, like the vocabulary and precision is needed when understanding/analyzing poems. This was defiantly not a hit for me, however many people thought that this was hit, but I did not. I am not trying to convince people that the poetry unit is a miss, just letting people know what I think. The unit might have been a miss, but it was not a complete miss.
A major hit this year was when we read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian even though we did not have many graded assignments for the novel, I still liked the book. The book was a hit for me because the book was very interesting and not a slow read. This book helped me develop my annotating skills and introduced annotating to me. I think many other people enjoyed the book as well as me. Overall the year has been a hit for me and I hope it continues.
I like your positive outlook on the year! Poetry can be tough, although I do enjoy it. ATDPTI was definitely a hit for me too.
ReplyDeleteI too didn't understand the poetry unit too well; thankfully we're past that. Keep up the great work.
