1. My last English class was very challenging. We worked mostly on analyzing and evaluating arguments. This included working with multiple articles and really understanding what the author was trying to argue. As a class‚ we really worked a lot with mapping and charting the texts. These seemed to take the longest to do because you are really digging deep into the text and trying to understand exactly what the author is trying to say. The most important thing that I learned is that “good writing is

CLASS HISTORY Most of us would agree that the days we spent in high school were certainly the best days of our lives. Memorable ones I suggest.

It was also in high school when we first felt and experienced to love – puppy love as people say. Thus‚ it is indeed in this chapter that we learnt lessons

A Class Divided: Frontline The 3rd grade teacher’s use of the discrimination experiment really taught me a lot about racism and discrimination and opened my eyes to many things. First‚ I couldn’t believe that the 3rd graders were so aware of racism and discrimination.

I can be very opinionated‚ and this has not changed‚ but since taking this Ethics class I now take into
