The most
useless class on the face of this planet if you live in an English speaking country. You basically get taught how to spell English words, how to use English
grammar, and how to properly construct an English sentence.
Basically, if you live in an English speaking country, you are getting taught shit you already know. If you are an unlucky
soul like me, you get assigned a DBQ (Document
Based Question) where you have a stupid question
like "Who Are The Outsiders", and then you have to
read a background essay, answer questions, read all the documents and answer all the questions after each document. Then after THAT, you get to write a 3-4 paragraph essay on "Who Are The Outsiders". In other cases, the teacher will just make you write an essay about the most useless shit on
Earth.
Sometimes, you get a vocabulary packet. Where I go to school, basically it's where you read a 9-10 paragraph essay that has 20-30 highlighted words. Then, after that, you go over all the words and their definitions. Then, you get to match the words with their definitions, match synonyms, match antonyms, and find out the central idea of the passage. Overall, their are about 65 questions on each packet. You must turn this in every week since each of these are worth
25% of your grade, and if you bring the
wrong one, you are screwed.
In other words, the class sucks.
