Having Ms. Rogers for English 304 is a true blessing. She puts so much effort into the class on her end that it will be easy to put effort into the class on your end. She makes the relevance of English 304 in the real world very clear and I really appreciated that - otherwise the class would have just been another requirement for me to graduate.
The main focus of the class is a client based group project. At first, the project may seem scary and overwhelming but Ms. Rogers walks the class through step-by-step and is there to help. Also, because it is a small group project (3-4 people), it is easy to distribute the work load evenly. The critical thing to remember here is to elect a group leader who is good at delegating work so that everyone puts in the same amount of work. Also, show up for you group meetings and pull your own weight. The project is a wonderful way to give back to the community and it takes the entire group to pull it together.
Don't forget about your blog. You will have a blog entry due every Sunday. It is a very simple assignment but an easy one to forget about.
Finally, put a little effort into your online portfolios and the documents you include in these portfolios. You will have 3 portfolios due across the semester and one of the most important documents you will include in these are your resume. Put some time and effort into this because if you do it now you won't have to change it too much when you graduate and are actually looking for a real job.
Enjoy English 304 with Ms. Rogers! She tries so hard to make it fun, rewarding, and relevant and you should appreciate that because there are many teachers out there who don't care whether you succeed or fail in school or in the real world.
