Meeting High Schoolars

So on Thursday for class, we met in the SAC with a few classes of high school students and we talked to them about college readiness. These are the same students who we wrote to for out midterm assignment. It was interesting to finally meet these kids and talk to them about high school. It is weird to think that was me last year. it feels like it has been so long and i have grown up so much since then. I feel like the information that i told them was very accurate and they asked a lot of questions about college. I saw how excited they were about college and how they want to experience the college life. I thought it was a really interesting and a different experience and one that i never would have thought that i would have in an English class.

Back to School

It definitely feels like it has been forever since I have written a blog post and I am unsure how to start this one. I guess ill start by saying that I had a great spring break and that it was needed. Midterm week killed me this semester, but i made it thought it and now i am on the final seven week home stretch.
When we got back into class, we were told to walk outside and look around for phrases that were up to around four words. These phrases were supposed to be something that was supposed to tell us some sort of information. We also talked about how we are going to take our midterm paper that we wrote to high school students and further elaborate that into something that will get us to where we are thinking the same way that lacy is. This project is going to last for the next few weeks and is going to work with a book that we are reading. I choose to read Enders Game because i read it in high school and really enjoyed the book. I feel that this book will be an accurate representation of what lacy is looking for in a students experience.
