ela reflection

1. 1. What was the most fun/engaging activity that you did in ELA this year? Why was it fun/engaging?
   The most enjoyable thing I did in ELA this year was making films in my response projects. Being able to write, film and edit a film is just very engaging.
   2. What was the most boring activity that you did this year? Why was it boring?
   Vocab exercises weren’t very interesting. I can’t really think of a better way to learn vocab but it still wasn’t super interesting just completing a few sentences.
   3. What was your favorite book this year? Why?
   My favorite book this year was maus. I enjoyed the artistic representation of a historical topic and felt like the book drew my interest well.
   4. What was your least favorite book this year? Why?
   My least favorite book was a raisin in the sun. While I think the civil rights moment in general was very important and a great topic to read about, this work of fiction just doesn’t really hold my interest through long rants and monologues.
   5. What should I definitely keep the same for next year's ELA curriculum? Why?
   Keep seminars, because it helps my understanding of books when I’m able to hear everyone’s thoughts and it’s a great way to figure out how well I personally understand the book.
   6. What should I definitely change for next year's ELA curriculum? Why?
   Less vocab exercises would be nice next year. I didn’t really find them super helpful and they were rather boring.
   7. Is there anything else that you would like to tell me about your experience in ELA? If so - please put it here.
