Novel Idea How would you describe your English class? Boring, interesting, challenging or an enrichment of your everyday life? At Gunderson the literary guidance we receive during our attendance here will not only teach us to express ourselves through words and penmanship, but also how to utilize these skills for the rest of our lives. When students were given the question What comes to mind when you think of English? They often reply by saying, There is so much to do , There are so many rules to learn . and how about this one, l'm glad it isn't my second language! The truth is that we all need to learn vocabulary, how to write properly, and to make good judgement when it comes to reading an epic novel. Today we may not enjoy these tasks of our high Y school education, but they will enable us to be cultured , literate. and most of all appreciative of the teachers who gave us all of these skills.
