Hits and Misses

We have done many projects in English I this year. Some were easily accomplished, and others were tiresome and challenging. Regardless of the difficulty, these projects were all at least somewhat entertaining. The most entertaining project this year was the research project. It was difficult, involving various activities that took effort and care to complete. The best part of this project was the research. We were able to browse an endless amount of sources find all of the information necessary to writing a quality essay. Although the research paper was incredibly entertaining, there were some parts of the year that I didn't enjoy.

For me, the worst part of this school year was writing the personal narrative. It caused me more stress than the other papers because it was our first one. I had no idea if I was doing things correctly, so I was constantly trying to correct each and every sentence, no matter how good it was. This was the first stressful thing I'd done all year, and it really got to my head. After I'd submitted the essay, I did feel better, but the feeling did wear down as time went on and as conferences continued. This year has had its challenges and difficulties, but it has also been a fun first year of high school.
