Help! Scott Street

Mr.Log-dog, your class was  one of the ones I looked forward to in the day. Not just because  of you,  but  also because of the rather unconventional style of teaching you incorporated. While you did teach to the test (which I don't mind at all), you  did so in a way that taught me new and innovative way that taught me interesting approaches that enhanced my writing. For example, after sticking with the standard five-paragraph approach my entire life, you introduced a new, organic approach to writing an essay, which I find easier and more effective. A couple complaints I do have are about the Socratic Seminars. While I don't think that they are bad activities,  I believe that some of the  requirements in place took away from the activity as a whole. The 150 word responses per  question just had me trying to be more wordy than necessary. Also, the required talking times made the entire seminar seem forced and uncomfortable. If there were looser restrictions to the Socratic Seminar, I believe that it  could be a fun and effective way to convey a message or make a point. Overall, your class was  very enjoyable and one of the highlights of my school day and I will miss having your class next  year.
