How is 9th grade English different from 8th grade english?
9th grade English is some what different from 8th grade English. I think it is A LOT better for many reasons. One reason is I love the atmosphere in Dr. D's class it doesn't feel like a class that when I walk in I should be silent and just be lectured all class. In general the learning atmosphere is way better in high school than it was in middle school. I feel like I have gotten stronger in all my subjects especially English.
I think having a teacher like Dr. D who wants me to succeed just helps me know that if I dont understand anything I can always go to her for help. It is really nice that in English this year if you need an extension on a paper it isn't just considered late and -5 points which i hated in middle school. It added more stress to getting things in on time and they were never my best work. So far I think 9th grade English is way better than 8th grade and all of middle school English!

Writing Center Reflection
I went to the writing center twice this semester. I found it helpful when it came to confusion on my papers. The writing center helped me understand more things about writing especially on my literary analysis which helped my paper be a lot stronger. Mrs. Spaht and Garbielle both helped me make my paper as strong as it got. It took many visits and hours for my work to pay off but I learned a ton of new information on my visits.
I think that for most of my papers I will need to visit the writing center only for the best though. I do not abuse the use of the writing center at all. I know that when going down there I am making my own corrections and realizing the mistakes I have made. Since I make my corrections and edit my paper it gives me a lot more confidence when I do have to write an essay or short answer on a test because I now have a checklist to go over each time. I think that the writing center when only benefit me in the long run and make me a better writer.
