Change for a Lifetime

This first marking period has been an adapting time. I am not used to using the computers so much in one class in the span of a couple of weeks. I do find this to be very helpful though because it allows me to use technology in my classes and I am a person who learns well with computers. I think that the idea of a blog was very fun, it had let us view other people's view point of the story. This was a huge help because it gave me a better understanding of what was happening in the story. I personally think that the story To Kill A Mockingbird was a really well written story. I loved the book and think that all 11th graders across the country should read the book due to its interesting topics covered and the view point of a kid in the 1930's. I think the first theme was alright, it was a little to lose for the first theme. I mean that it was such an open topic to cover, its hard to come into school with that openness. I think the second theme goes well with the curriculum and it helps a kid go deeper into a story. Overall I would say it has been a good first marking period, the only thing I would change is the first theme and I would move it farther back in the year. I think the pace works well and that the keynotes help with the quizes.
