Before this course, what did you anticipate?

I thought that english would be alot of reading and writing of things I didn't really want to read or write about. We do read alot and we have writing assigments, but when we go over them in class i understand how im suppose to put together what to write. I didn't think we would be getting help like we do in class. I also didn't think i was going to understand most of the homework, but the teacher helps us alot so that we understand what to do and how to do it.

task three analyze

For task three I am not for sure what to write about, but I thought about using Kozol's book. I never had problems through school, but I was going to write about a teacher that was always there for his students. He looked out for everyone like: his football players, students, teachers, anyone he knew or saw. He taught everyone not only what it's like to work hard but also said every day how important it is to get an education.  A lot of people, like me are where they are today because of what they were taught. He was a coach/teacher and someone everyone looked up to.
