Testimonials

I learned a lot about writing essays. It will benefit me going into my next grade. It taught me how to write essays step by step. I learned how to organize my essays through ANI charts and outlines. Learning how to develop a thesis was easier than I thought and this class taught me how to do it. My favorite book was Ashes of Roses. All the literature reading was my favorite part of the class. The teacher makes our assignments clear and helps us if we need help. I am thankful I took this class as it made a difference in my writing. I would highly recommend it.

I absolutely LOVED this class. I feel much more confident about writing essays now, especially since I know how to organize them. What I loved about this class was the amount of encouragement; it was amazing. I was a bit nervous about taking literature and was afraid that the rest of the class wouldnʻt like my work. But in the end, everyone was SUPER encouraging. The homework was at just the right amount, and not very hard to finish. My favorite book was either Ashes of Roses or Bound for Oregon. I would’ve never read those if I werenʻt in this class. The teacher was amazing, super helpful, thoughtful, made assignments clear, and helped improve my writing a lot. She deserves a big thanks! I am very thankful I took this class and would HIGHLY recommend it.

This class has been so helpful for me. I feel more confident about writing now than I did last year when I used a different curriculum. Last year, I had very few essays compared to this year, which enhanced my writing ability and comprehension. Everybody in this class is extremely personable, and I feel very respected. One of the best parts of the class was the teacher and her welcoming personality; she encouraged me and was very helpful. She is genuinely one of the best teachers I have ever had.

I feel a lot more comfortable about my writing after taking this class. What I like about the class most is the amount of positivity, it was just so great. The amount of homework was not stressful at all and it wasn’t too hard to finish it. At first, I was nervous that the other students wouldn’t like my work but I noticed we were all here to learn and the teacher and the students were all inviting and encouraging. it was so fun and I would definitely recommend it. my favorite book that we read during this class was Sign of Beaver. Sign of Beaver was so interesting and I would recommend reading it. The teacher was so nice and thoughtful she definitely deserves a big thanks.

I feel like I’ve definitely improved in my writing and now I have ways to come up with better topics and proofs. I like that I’ve learned a lot in this class and I still feel as if I could expand my knowledge more, which I like. The essays were probably my favorite part, because it wasn’t a humongous essay but it still took a while to type up. The teacher was very kind and understanding if there was a problem. My favorite book was probably Bound for Oregon. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who needs help writing essays or trying to find ideas to write about. This class is probably the best true north class I’ve been a part of so far. It was a great year and I learned lots.

I highly recommend this class to anyone who loves writing or wants to improve their writing abilities. I had only done IEW before this class and really enjoyed this writing format. It taught me a new way to write and organize my thoughts. The class also introduced me to some fantastic books. My favorite was, Sign of the Beaver. The way we analyzed and discussed our books and writing was fun and encouraging. The amount of homework was a nice medium. Not too much, not too difficult, but takes a moderate amount of time. The ANI charts took the most amount of time to complete. The best part of the class is when we write our essays and present them. It was extremely enjoyable to see the flood of comments come in about our papers. Our teacher gave great feedback and included everyone. This class was a great experience for me.
