This year in English has been pretty awesome.  Most things that you did to teach us were very effective and helped me grow.  I feel like my writing has improved significantly since being in your class and I find myself using the techniques you taught us every time that I write.  One thing that I really liked about your teaching was the amount of practice writing/class grading that we did.  I was able to begin seeing a lot more of my flaws in writing because of this (cough, cough...development) and I now am more concious of the choices I make when writing.  One thing that I wasn't a big fan of was the Socratic Seminar.  While it did help with my analysis of writing, I didn't find it to be too helpful with the AP test or anything else that we did in class.  It also put us in a very "forced to talk" environment, which put more pressure on us to say something.  I find situations like this to be stressful and in turn I don't talk as much.  Overall, though, I loved this class.  The way that you approach teaching is awesome and I thank you for being such a great teacher this year, Mr. Logsdon.
