Well, it's nearly over! You all have been one of the more interesting classes I have had in English II Honors. I am usually very good at reading people and you all were quite difficult to read. Some days I thought we were all happy to be here, and some days I felt like you all hated me, the class, and the world at large! :) I will say that a strength of this class seemed to be projects and writing. Your creative projects were wonderful every time, and I think this is probably collectively the best group of writers to come through in a while. (Another strength was talking, though not in discussion, just to each other... :) ) I have enjoyed very much being your teacher this semester and I feel like, as with each class, you all are each leaving a little piece of yourselves with me. I think that you all handled being a large class pretty well, most of the time, and I do appreciate your patience at my being slow to return things at times. Grading 34 essay packets of 5 essays each does take a while! :) I am so glad that I did teach the Holocaust unit to you all because your responses were absolutely wonderful. I also have been totally impressed with some of the blog discussions you have had. I hope you are all taking something from this semester that you can use in your future and I wish you all the best and great successes to come. Don't be a stranger! I'll be in room 222, probably for the next 22 years, so come by and say hi sometime! (And you can always email me at adavis@clevelandschools.org anytime.) Remember my Holocaust Lit class next year or the next and my AP class your senior year! I would love to see you in class in the future!
By the way, the posting below is the one you will receive a blogging grade on, though any comments to this post are welcome!

Aw :) I have lovvveddd this class so much. Not just the large number of friends I had in this class, but also having fun while learning! I love that you actually did some interesting things with us such as the ever amazing debates and the fun little projects. School can get very boring at times, but coming to this class actually made it worthwhile! I will definitely come visit you! Best of luck in the future!
Love, Payton
Okay, this has been one of favorite classes that i have ever taken! You are one of my favorite teachers that I feel really cares about what we learn. You have opened our eyes to a new kind of thinking from essays to the Holocaust! i thorougly enjoyed this class even if I did not win my debate..I hope your next semester kids are as cool of cats as we were!
I love this class! It has been one of my favorites!!! And I want to take Holocaust Lit so badly, but I think you said it was third so I can never take it =[[! Hopefully one year it will be any other class but third! It is my favorite unit we studied. You made me love reading which is really good, your the first teacher every that I couldn't wait till we had another book assignment
ok so I forgot to put my name on my blog that I just posted, it was me, Ariana!
Thanks!
Like Hannah said, your class was never boring and always had something to do that day. We did alot of activities which was fun and we got to make our own videos. I know I talk alot in your class and make you hate me and ted haha but you still one of my best english teachers and I enjoyed your class alot. Thanks for everything!

On the contrary, Ben, I do not hate anyone.
I agree with everyone! This has been on of the funnest classes I've ever had. We did so many interesting things, and I never got bored. I loved the Holocaust unit, and I really hope I can take Holocaust Lit next year! I will definitely miss this class.

No doubt-it was the funnest class i have EVER taken. its so nice to have a teacher that actually cares about you, or act like they do at least. i really loved how you didn't only teach, but you always had different and fun activities for everything, which made it even more fun. You are one of my favorite teachers ever and i appreciate all that you did for us. (like the donoughts! :) I cant wait to take holocaust lit. which i definently will!

Haha.
I never hated you. Promise. :)
This class was crazy, loud, sad, hilarious, hard, stressful, and awesome all at the same time. We've learned so much this year, it was really great. I love that you tried to sort of develope different types of relationships with all of us. This happened especially through our journals. Sometimes I wish we had had more time so I could have put a little bit more into what we did, but we had a lot to learn, and time FLEW by. Anyways, thank you so much for teaching us so well. :)
