English
With Ms. Sveiven
In English, we learned all about different types of writing, such as narrative and informative. We read a novel called "The Giver" by Lois Lowry and many news articles, some fake and some reliable.
I chose binge watching because it interested me the most and I was able to learn the pros and cons of it.

REFLECTIONS
What was your favorite part of this year? This could be about an assignment, a teacher, or a school experience.
I think my favorite part of this year was being able to manage my time and not having to wake up so early. I liked managing my time because I know when things need to get done and when I have free time. It was fun to sleep through my lunch. My teachers and some projects were my favorite too.
