This year I am taking English II which is one of my favorite classes. My English teacher is Mrs. Wallach. She is really funny, outgoing and makes everyone laugh. She knows how to grab everyone's attention even if the topic is really boring. She makes it really interesting and doesn't make it sound boring anymore. When class first started, I thought that it was going to be boring but Mrs. Wallach knows how to get the class going and knows how to captivate everyone's attention. Right now we are learning about feminism, which means that women should have the rights to have equality to men. As my teacher's grading policy, she makes us do a seminar that involves the class to contribute and ask questions about the book that we are reading at that moment. You get a grade based on your answer, how much you spoke, and whether you contributed in the seminar or not. We once had a seminar about the book "Of Mice and Men". And for homework, she briefly looks at the homework that we do; however, when we do journals, she would grade it on the day we hand it in. in this class, I like it when we read out loud and discuss about the book. And i also like it when she would ask us some stereotypical questions and asks for our opinions. For example, is a woman's place in the house, the kitchen? Technology is used in our class for our projects. For example, we used the computers for our farm project and our video for "A Rose for Emily". For our farm project we had to research how much our farm would be and the cost for the animals. Our video project was about the short story "A Rose for Emily", we used our phones and imported the videos to my friend's Macbook pro. We edited the video for THREE HOURS!!! Our video came out great and funny. And in class, we saw everyone's videos and they were really FUNNY!!! What I like about Mrs. Wallach's class is that we can actually talk about topics that we like and she knows how to make any situation funny and interesting.
