We had a marvelous time in class today. Our final four students presented for their classmates. Dane spoke about the downfall of monarchies; Joe gave us information about the effects of screen time on the brain; Ilya shared the stories of 3 billionaires with drive and vision. Finally, Ben talked about what is good about our nation, America.
Students were to hand in their Final Drafts of their Research Papers, along with any rough drafts. Any papers not handed in should be e-mailed as soon as possible.
I'm excited about going through these papers. The class has worked so hard on them, and I'm really proud of their writing. They all presented fascinating information when it was their turns to stand before their classmates.
My hopes are to have the papers graded and the grades out before the end of the year. I have papers from Writing 1, Writing 2, and Writing 3, so it will take some time.
This class is now finished. Next semester, in the place of Writing 3, I teach a British Literature class. In this class, we read Beowulf, Much Ado about Nothing, Great Expectations, Romantic poetry, Victorian poetry, Pygmalion, and 39 Steps -- all classics of British literature. The class is discussion based with very little writing.
Have a great Christmas! Be blessed with your family and with the Lord during this time of year!
Mrs. Prichard
