High School English Courses

My high school English courses were all quite similar in style. One of the few things that my English classes taught me, was how to use my grammar in the correct way, and also helped me become a better writer. Out of all my English teachers i would have to say that my Junior/Senior teacher had to of taught me the most. She would always teach us something new and be extremely elaborate when teaching anything.

Throughout my High school years i read many books. One of the few books that i read that really caught my eye was, "Like Water for Chocolate", "Fences", "Princess Bride", "Life of Pi", and "Dracula". Types of papers that i wrote were mainly research papers. My papers mainly focused on English literary works. I remember writing my last research paper. It was about three books that i had read senior year, and how they related to one another.

Out of the three teachers i had in high school my junior/senior year teacher was the best. My freshmen and sophomore teacher had good techniques but their teaching techniques were not as strong as my last English teacher. Unlike my other teachers, she gave homework everyday, and that led us to understand how to write, and comprehend things a lot better. Some assignments that led me to learning the most was when she had us read from the books we read and then write a summary on what we read. She then would have us sometimes write an essay on the book, to have us practice our comprehension, reading, and writing skills.
