English 9

History, Shakespeare, poems, writing, and art; just a small glimpse of things that I think of when I walk into English class. As a class that can basically weave into every field, I not only have a few ideas about what we are to learn but am exited for what I can take from it. Whether its skills and techniques, to reading and gathering information, these are just a few things I would like to learn and take from English 9.

First things foremost, I definitely would like to dig deeper into the history and origin of the English language; how it progressed, evolved, and branched out to create other languages. Secondly, when I walk out of English 9 I would like to have a more solid understanding of writing-creatively and essay based. Also, I would like to work on my grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Something a bit uncommon that interests me is how art can connect to English class. I have grown to learn that many pieces of art have a story behind them, whether it is modern art or something from ancient artifacts and history.  Lastly, I would enjoy learning about poetry and how to write it, as well as be introduced to famous authors such as Shakespeare, Charles Dickens etc.! To conclude, there are many things that I expect to learn and am eager to gain more knowledge about.
