I have to say, I liked Quarter 2 better than Quarter 1. Quarter 1 was kind of confusing and tedious. This quarter was more relaxed and independent. First off, I would like to say that the best skill I learned was keeping my interests open and trying new things. I know the seems like it doesnt pertain to English but trust me, it does! With all the college representatives and guest speakers, I really learned that everything is not for everybody. I also learned that you shouldn't dismiss a option if you do not have a solution. Basically, if I have a problem that someone is offering me an option or solution to it, I shouldn't turn it down. My least favorite part of Quarter 2 was the Midterms. I hated that midterm! (even though I heard I got the highest score). But, the midterm was so long and I really didn't understand some of the terms used that much.
With that being said, the biggest challenge that I had was reading Othello. I love Shakespearean plays and Greek Mythology (even though that was irrelevant) but this book had alot of symbols and motifs. There is nothing wrong with that but it was kind of difficult to comprehend at times. I faced that challenge by re-reading alot that I read. I also had to change the location of where I read that book because there was alot of distractions. Lastly, if it got this severe, I would Sparknotes the modern version and read the text under that title. I believe these were good solutions and I will suggest them to anyone who needs them.
Wow. Quarter 2 went passed so quick. Awww, we're about to walk. =(
