What+is+your+history+as+a+reader?


 * When we start a new school year, everyone brings "baggage" with him/her. Maybe you had a horrible year in English last year and you're dreading the class this year even though it's completely new - new teacher and all. Or maybe you love English class because you love reading books and talking about them. Or maybe you're somewhere in between. I want you to write a journal entry here about your history as a reader and English student...Do you love reading, hate reading, or fall somewhere in the middle? Why do you feel the way you do about reading and/or English class? Has a book ever had a meaningful impact on your life? Or an English class? What baggage do you bring to this class as a student of English (without naming names of former teachers you dislike, please)? You may respond to what other people write, but you need to keep the focus on your own history. This is due by 8/28.**
