Class Reflection

Of all of my grade twelve classes, this one was my second favourite (right behind philosophy).
I've really enjoyed learning about how to become a better writer. After last semester's English class, I lost a lot of confidence in my ability to write essays and papers, but this class has kind of brought that confidence back. I think that this class has made me more creative, as well. Being able to write about whatever you want for each unit assignment was awesome. Although it was challenging at times, to think of something new and creative, it was fun and liberating. This class is refreshing after writing under the strict guidelines of the 4U English class.
I'm not saying this to suck up, but I have really enjoyed having you as a teacher, Mr. Heneke. You can tell that you're passionate about writing, and that's important when teaching a bunch of kids who maybe aren't that passionate about it. I know we were obnoxious at times, but I hope that we weren't too hard on you.
I set up my grade 12 year so that my second semester was pretty easy. I only have two classes and thanks to writer's craft, my final semester has actually been enjoyable.
I came into this class because I was planning on going into journalism next year. Unfortunately, that is no longer my plan, but I'm still really happy that I stayed with this class. It gives you experience that you don't get in other classes. Note-taking doesn't really bother me, but being able to write whatever I want for all of the assignments has actually been fun. I find that this class is kind of a break from the typical school day. You get 75 minutes to think of things that other classes don't allow you to think of. It gives you the chance to write and think freely, which is important - mainly because you don't get to do that a lot anymore.
Overall, this class has definitely been worth my time. It's a great way to start my day and an even better way to finish off my senior year.
