My first week of class with Stephanie Scott
My mother suggested that for summer school this year I should take a literature class. I initially grumbled at taking any summer class: after all, summer is the time to relax, and I am already working a few days a week. Then I saw the ads for the lit class I needed taught by Stephanie Scott, a teacher I had in high school. This would be an excellent oppourtunity to get that one humanities credit I need for my degree. Although I am oftentimes more interested in video games, I had recently read a series that I enjoyed immensely; one of the few things I have read recently that wasn't a tie-in to Halo. I can have a lot to say about a good story, and I found it quite enjoyable to discuss literature at Ms. Scott's book clubs back in high school. I look forward to discussing literature with Ms. Scott and this class.

You will often find great stories can be told through any medium. Some stories from movies, video games, and even music can share universal traits. Does a audience feel the pain of loss any less if they watch the movie Othello as opposed to it reading it from the text. I highly recommend finding a story told through multiple mediums. How does the medium effect the impact of the story.
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteThis blog is well-written. You must have had a great writing teacher in high school.
Michael, I also didn't like the fact of having to take a summer school class. When Stephanie announced to our Reading class she would be teaching LIT 110, I thought well she was an awesome teacher for Reading because she was very thorough and she helped you understand every assignment she gave so I figured she would be as much fun in summer school. So far I'm having a blast..and I hope you are too...plus we are almost done!
