My Blogs this Year

Although many people complain about blogs and having to do them, I thoroughly enjoy most of the blogs because many times I like putting my opinion about something down so I can look at it later. Most of my blogs are pretty good, and I tended to do them in bunches, because if I don't feel like writing I don't write. But a lot of times I would just get the itch to do a blog at like 1 in the morning or some other weird time so I would do one. My favorite blog was definitely when I got to make up my own ending to the "Pit and the Pendulum" and I just went crazy and made up an awesome ending because I love making up stories! My least favorite blog, at least recently was the "Great Gatsby Playlist" I honestly don't know any roaring 20s songs and I don't intend on looking any up, not that I hate the music it's just I don't really feel like leafing through a bunch of songs for some that fit moments in The Great Gatsby. For some of the blogs I didn't do very much for them because I just wanted to get them done, while others I actually spent a lot of time researching and I spent a lot of time on them. It was kind of hit and miss to be honest. I thought it was very interesting and overall something that I ended up enjoying a lot. I learned that I like blogging about things that I like, and if I don't like something, I literally have no interest in writing about it and researching it. But, this was overall very fun I thought.

My Advice to Ms. Wolff

My advice to Ms Wolff is a couple of things. First of all, know what you are talking about before you decide to teach it. Ms Williams really knows what she is talking about with symbolism and themes and honestly you have pretty big shoes to fill. Also Ms Williams also does a really good job with connecting with students on a level that they understand and with analogies that they understand. Whether it is references to music, facebook, or movies that are popular it is important that you use those to keep interest. Also, try not to be too uptight if some kids don't listen to every single that you may say. The more mad you get about it, the worse it will probably get because the kid probably likes making you mad. Well, hope I helped you out a bit Ms Wolff.
