All year my class has been learning how to become a better reader, writer, and thinker. Just recently, my class put these accomplishments to the test. We read, we thought, we wrote. We participated in group discussions, and presented our ideas to the class. This demonstrated not only our speaking skills, but our listening and writing skills as well. After marking up the text that we read, Professions for Women by Virginia Woolf, we wrote a style analysis essay over her work.
