Mr. Logsdon, I think it's safe to say that your class was the saving grace of this year. I had no idea how much I enjoyed discussing writing and the authors' true sentiments behind the piece until this year. Plus, your class really helped me out with reading comprehension, which led me to get a perfect score on the ACT Reading section (not a single question was missed.... I was very shocked by this so I felt like I had to brag).
What I really thought was effective from your class was your push for us to break away from the middle school writing norms we were used to (ie Intro-3 Bodies- Conclusion) and expand on our own artistic liberties. I also learned that I don't have to sound like I'm writing a speech for the president- I oftentimes find myself using huge words in both my writing and everyday speech.
But seriously, I hadn't really considered writing a true art form until this year. Sure, the stuff we write is far from the "art" caliber, but I was surprised by some of my eloquence this year. I was even more surprised when I would publish what I considered to be my best blog post yet and then read my classmates and find that they've written a Pulitzer Prize-level essay. You guys are seriously great writers!
Anyways, I sincerely enjoyed your class and your personality and I don't necessarily have any criticism to offer.
Have a great summer,
Katie Taylor
