Wait...A new English Class?!

 

Last year when I was making my schedule for junior year, my guidance counselor told me that there was a new English class. The New English class was READERS' CHOICE. I had questions about what this class was because no one had ever took it in our school yet. Because it was the first year readers' choice was going to be introduced I decided to take it.

What is this class? Basically this class is like a book club. I was interested in taking this class because you get to chose book you want to read, not books teachers pick for you to read! This class has introduced me to so many books I've wanted to read. I also read a book that I never thought I was ever going to read. The book was the "DaVinci Code." I really liked the book, and i'm glad I can finally say "I read it." The good thing about this class is that you don't really write essays, but you do have lots of homework and projects. You MUST keep up to date because there are many class and group discussions. There is a lot of communication because the whole class talks about a book, or you share information about the book you've chose read.


I would highly recommend this class for seniors and junior next year because it's a fun class. Besides being able to chose your own books, it opens you up to try to read books out of your comfort zone, and you can end up liking the book. You'll read books  that you've never really thought about reading, but that interest you.
