This year 11 and 12th grade English class focused on American Literature and British Literature. Both grades were reading novels in different eras, but one of values that I wanted to instill in both grade levels was the importance of writing. I had students keep a reading journal which allowed them to respond to the different literature we were reading. I assigned several tasks to the students in these journals that allowed them to explore the different types of writing styles that can be used to respond to literature like essays, creative writing and answering analytical questions. It was a pleasure to see students not only become better writers, but grow as critical thinkers and be able to apply the skills they learned in my class to their other classes as well.
