Dear class,
            I honestly have learned a lot in this class. The one thing I would like to focus on is poetry. I learned about iambic pentameter, different literary devices, and new Shakespearean words. I learned that I enjoyed writing in iambic pentameter, and I will certainly be using this format in future poems. I loved the direction my poem went in. I also learned about how to make a picture book. I loved being able to read to children and see how they interpreted my story. They reminded me of my little sister, Alice. I also learned that I liked drawing on photoshop, and I know I will use this new skill in high school.

             My hopes for after graduation is to read more, read different varieties of genres, create a summer blog and YouTube channel, (where I can write scripts and sketches) and to be more aware of important details in reading. I also plan to submit poems to Scholastic and similar competitions to help build a portfolio. I want to become a more creative writer, which is something I can apply to almost any aspect of life. I am very exited to see what high school has to offer and the future projects I will be presented with.
