How I Learn
How do you learn best? What are your expectations for your 9th grade English teacher?
After two years of learning language arts through technology, the transition to high school will probably be a lot different than what we have experienced this year. There will be a different environment, different classmates, different teachers. In high school, I want to learn through things that I enjoy. I want to learn how to make my writing and reading better. I want to be challenged, because I can handle it. In 9th grade, it won’t be very interesting to go over grammar and roots of different words.
The way I learn best is through technology. Textbooks don’t really hold as much value for me. When I have something that I am familiar with and can enjoy, I can understand it better. Last year, our teacher strove to teach us in a way that we could understand. Even though we were challenged, it made us better in Language Arts. We learned more in depth concepts and didn’t focus on things just like grammar and sentence structure. However, if it turns out that we are just reading and writing, that won’t be too bad.
