Dear Mr. Elliot,
I took your English 12 class last year during my senior year of high school. I didn't talk that much during class but I appreciated that you still knew my name. My class was a crazy one; we were never focused and were always super loud. I knew english 12 was easier than comp lit but I didn't know how much I would learn from it.
I liked how you did composition units in between the reading units so we weren't reading book after book. I love the creative writing we did using different writing styles we learned like process analysis, descriptive writing, etc. Those were my favorite because you let us write formal and serious or informal. I enjoyed writing papers with sarcasm and joking, I found out those were my best. You opened my eyes up to a new way of academic writing by allowing us to let our voice stand out through our writing and tell you stories about us. For the books we read for homework it really helped when the next day you had short quizzes to see if we read but then after wed spend time recapping and discussing the book. That was helpful for those one of two times I forgot to read but I felt caught up after those class discussions.
You were a great teacher that everyone loved with your jokes and stories. I will always be thankful for all I have learned from your class.
Best wishes,
Karina Zalac
