Literacy to the fullest!

V English is an amazing subject. When we think about English, we think about
spellings and compositions. English is much more than that. This year in English
class, our amazing teacher, Dr.Griggs, taught us figurative language,
descriptive writing, and many other aspects of English. Instead of teaching us
A through worksheets, he taught us through kahoots and vocabulary jams,
which helped us learn while having fun. This way we could remember
everything that he taught us. Poems are also a huge part of English. We were
introduced to many poems throughout the year, analysing them and
understanding them. We all loved these poems. This way, we learned how to
write poems with a deeper meaning. English is an amazing subject! I'm sure
everyone in the class loves English.
