I am new to blogger, and also this school. I am expecting blogger to help me out a lot with reading. Reading never was one of my strong points in school. I don't know why, I just haven't liked reading for a long time, but I apprehend to become a faster reader, and read for fun. I only have one main concern about this course, and that is that there is going to be a lot of homework and reading involved. I know that this will be difficult for me to read, because i'm going from reading four books a year, to two books a month. After a while, I predict that I will get use to it, and i'll slowly start to like it a little more every time I open a book.
This course will be challenging, but with hard work and dedication to reading, I will prosper and grow into liking to read. My goal at the end of the course is to reading twice as fast as i did before, but still be able to comprehend what's happening. I also hope to expand my skills on comprehension, vocabulary, and creativity. I am eager for this course but also little nervous of what will happen during the class and work. I want to become a completely different person when it comes to English and reading at the end of the course.
Blogging is new to me too! I enjoy them, and I hope you enjoy this school! Come see me if you have any questions if you are confused or concerned.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I appreciate your hopefulness for this year. Building your stamina and speed as a reader can really make a difference in how enjoyable it is, and having a way to talk to peers about what you are reading helps, too. Think about calculating your reading rate now at the beginning of the year so that you can compare at the end.
