Review of the Class (Extra Credit)

This class was a valuable class. I learned two things that greatly help me evaluate a piece of literature. Learning about researching the culture of a book or play was valuable because it helps me understand the book much more. It helps you understand if there are any symbols, motifs, etc. that are significant. Second, learning about how to analyze a passage for a commentary was helpful. The Their Eyes Were Watching God unit really got IB Junior English off to a good start and set the foundation for what would be happening in our reading and writing for the rest of the year. And although there was much analysis of the literature that the class read, perhaps more writing lessons could have been helpful so the essays were not so challenging. Altogether, a somewhat enjoyable and definately helpful class.
