Part 1: What I have learned in English 160 so far….
Hmmm… A good question. So far I believe that I have learned to appreciate literature, or at least short stories, quite a bit more. I have also learned that my distaste for writing essays hasn’t diminished any since the last time I took an english class.
I’m surprised to find that the group exercises are actually quite useful in helping me understand the story, etc. that we are reading, which is a strange contrast to most other classes with group exercises. As far as what I would like to learn from now until the end of the term…hmmm… I can’t think of much, perhaps how to better understand stories and literary terms and the like. Or perhaps how to get out of having to write essays? Hahahahahaha, seriously though
Part 2: I’ll continue part 2 sometime before the 15th.

Hey there, I agree with you that the group discussions are really helpful to understanding the story, I’m glad I am not the only one that thinks so! I too have come to enjoy the short stories more. Nice blog!
Comment by Nicole February 12, 2008 @ 9:12 pmI agree,I think that being able to talk to others about what we are doing is useful, I like having somone to bounce ideas off of. However, I prefer groups of 2 rather than 3 or 4.
