Hi Daniel, this class was honestly one of my favourite classes. Some things that really stuck to me where how to make a spoken work and have confidence to present Infront of a school. I really liked this class because of it’s fun atmosphere and the teaching style. My goals in English 10 are to be more orginaized and to prioritize the class more. Just stay focused in class next year and get 90+%. Hope to have a blast and n English 10.
