Assignment 26 Ben Belin

Overall your class effective in helping me to learn to write better. Now that I said that time for the exciting part... criticism! Although I completely understand that you planned the year out based on block scheduling and didn't want to give us busy work, I did sometimes think we could have done more. What I mean by this is that the class didn't have much variation. It was just write and essay every once in a while and then spend a week or two grading it. A way to improve this would be to mix it up with things like a bit more engaging like for different kinds of writing/reading activities. An example would be to maybe split us off into smaller groups and we could work together to write an answer to a prompt. This way we could see how other people in the class approach the writing. Mr. Wise did this with us last year and I found it extremely helpful. I'm sure this year wasn't how your class normally goes, and I know from my sister we usually do a lot more engaging types of activities (like the commercials).
