I thought it was extremely interesting to hear everyone's poems and to hear how everything came together. I really enjoyed doing the poems unit and I think that it has been my favorite so far. I really enjoyed the challenge the poems presented for us and the thought that I had to put into it. Also I am enjoying the free read book I have now much more than the last one I read.

I thought that doing the poems in front of the class was interesting. It challenged those of us with stage fright, and was fun for those without it. Sadly though I was one of the people with stage fright and I forgot some of my poem. Other than that I thought that doing the poems in front of the class was interesting and hearing how everybody did their poems was cool. Though I would have to dissagree with Mrs. Beaudin, I remembered and could understand most everybodies poems eventhough they didnt have as much emotion as you would have liked. No offence Mrs. Beaudin.

I really liked Laura's poem, and I'm not sure if we can talk about other people. But I thought she did a wonderful job. My poem wasn't as great, and I did mess up, but I did have a lot of fun doing it. I also enjoy having your class, at least when I'm there.

I was certainly nervous saying my poem in front of people, but I actually didn't do as bad as I thought I was going to do so I am pretty proud that I getting over my fear of speaking in front of people.

I believe that on Tuesday in class we performed exceptionally better then we had on the previous act in "The Taming of the Shrew". I think that because we are required to act it out after the Act, it makes people pay more attention, and comprehend the material much better than previously.

I think that I didn't do well or study as well as I should have on my poem. Something good is I'm almost done my second book I am on chapter 114 out of 134. Next I am going to get the second book of the Maximum Ride serious.

I loved reading my poem out loud. I thought it was a good experience for me to have. I enjoyed trying to memorize the poem and I can not wait until I we get to memorize another one.

I enjoyed reading my poem. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. This was a good experience for us to have because it helped with our public speaking.
The grammar lesson on Monday helped a lot.

I thought that it was good to hear everyone's poem and how they said it. I think that most peoples poems were interesting. Though I was nervous at first going up to the front of the room really wasn't that bad after all.

I thought saying our poems in front of the class was helpful to us because it gave us a chance to practice our public speaking skills. Also I found it interesting listening to the different ways people said their poems.

I liked hearing everyone’s poems and I thought that everyone in our class did well. It really wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be so next time we do it I won’t be nervous at all and it was pretty fun to I have to say.

I thought that presenting our poems was exciting. What made it exciting for me was that I got all worked up and thought that I was going to do a horrible job, but I really didn't do that bad. It was interesting to see what poems people picked to do. Some of the poems matched the people who presented them perfectly. It was really interesting to watch everyone in the library present theirs, also. I thought I was going to do a horrible job in the library too, but it really wasn't that bad. It was actually kind of fun!

On that Monday we read our poems that we had to memorize then say in front of the class. Most people did well with reciting their poem, but it was very nerve racking when I got up in front of the class. Although I didn't do that good I enjoyed listening to other people.

I really enjoyed reading my poem. It was a good chance for me to get out of my comfort zone. I'm glad you got me to recite my poem in the library too. I can't wait to do it next year.

I really enjoyed listening to everyone's poems in class today. I was really surprised with how well everyone did- good job, guys! Some people really surprised me with their performances. It was a fun class period all around... And I enjoyed doing Jabberwocky.
