The Briggsy Awards!!

The most interesting part of this class would be whenever we talk about how readings or speeches will interfere with our life later on. Before I got into this class, I didn't think it was a big deal about making speeches and throwing yourself out there. Now after taking this class I've realized you will need to find your own voice, because without it you wont get anywhere. Although I'm still shy, these speeches helped me break out at moments. Soon enough I'm wanting to break out completely. This class was the beginning of me becoming more comfortable speaking.

I'd say the most boring part of this class would be when we read "The Crucible." I don't know why but it didn't really trigger me much. I liked reading "1984" a lot more. Some kids might think the opposite. While reading I would kind of get lost and find my mind drifting away without meaning to. It's probably not that bad of a book. I'm getting the summer fever.


I laughed a lot in this class because of the way Mr. Briggs can act in different voices. I think its hysterical. I also like the Boston accent lol. My friends and I always talk in a Boston accent becaause my neighbors mom used to be from Massachusetts. I remember one time when Mr. Briggs talked in like a girly accent and I laughed so hard that I lost my breath lol. It came so unexpectedly. I liked all the accents lol. British, gangster, Boston, haha.They bring excitement to class. Also I remember in English 1 when you showed us your raps. I used to rap when I was in like 6th grade lol. You should keep showing them because I think the kids will like them a lot!


What I learned in this class that will be most useful in the real world goes along with what interested me the most. Not being so afraid to use my voice, and working hard to accomplish my goals. From here I will try to keep building in these skills.

The best thing about Mr. Briggs as a teacher is the way he organizes things and can still make everyone fun at the same time. It makes it a very balanced out class. I like how he tells stories every once in a while to get the class focused on something else but still relates it to what we're talking about to make you think about things in other ways.

Im not certain what to do to make this class funner..maybe you could like have a speech where kids record themselves like they're on the news or something, and then they can bring it in and watch it. Kind of like in creative writing when we did this movie project. Although I'm really into movies. I think it would be a cool way to wrap up the end of the year.
