Advice for Miss Wolff

     There are many things about class this year that I have very much enjoyed.  I like the class discussions we have about stories.  Most of the books we have read are pretty decent.  English was one of just a few classes that I wanted to be longer rather than shorter.  The ACT prep really helped and was a great break from Literature.  Some of the short stories we read are really difficult to understand until you explain them and to maintain focus reading.  I think that SQ4R should be an option, not a requirement.  I think just reading the story and then taking notes the next day during class would be a much better option.  "The Scarlet Letter" is one of those books that people teach solely because it is regarded as one to read in high school.  I think that all the schools should drop reading that dreadfully boring book.  I think that class should be harder so that it separates the good from the great.  That's one thing about Lutheran in general that irritates me.  It should be harder to get an A in a class.  I don't think that more homework should be assigned, but tests should be harder.  That goes for every class, not just English.
