What I liked and Learned from English 5

Posted byDJW

I learned many things in English 5, like Latin and Greek roots, and I really enjoyed some of the books. I learned a lot this year.

I learned sentence patterns 5-7, and I like the sentence patterns a lot. I also learned about the Latin and Greek roots, and I thought that was interesting. I really learned something from Then vs. Than and Farther vs. Further. I also learned about hyperbole. Other than that, the whole course was review except for the books, and I had read some of them before even. I enjoyed the books best; I’ve listed my favorites here in order from best to worst:

  1. Peter Pan
    • Peter Pan is a great book. I’ve read it before, but it was worth reading again.
  2. Buff: A Collie
  3. Lad: A Dog
    • I really like the dog books that Albert Payson Terhune wrote. These two reading assignments started my love for them.
  4. Black Beauty
  5. Pinocchio
  6. The Pilgrim’s Progress
    • I love the way John Bunyan tells the story; it represents the life, hardships, and reward of the pilgrim.
  7. I didn’t really like:
    1. The Mysterious Key and What It Opened
    2. The Jungle Book
  8. And I hated:
    1. Anne of Green Gables
    2. Pollyanna
    3. Understood Betsy

Please note that the reason Heidi is not on this list is because I had read it in 3rd Grade, so I replaced it with Swallows and Amazons, which I really loved.

This year, I learned a lot. I loved some of the books, and I liked the sentence patterns. I hope I learn as much next year as I did this year!
