Language Arts Advance., ugh. Options

[creole]

I am in 8th Grade Advance Language Arts.


So my Language Advance arts teacher is pretty good at doing critical thinking with quotes and reasons, but when we have to do essays, he gives us restricted words we can't use.

Examples -

FROM NOW ON TO THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR;
We can't use the word it, because it is a weak pronoun that takes place over a noun. IF WE DO WE LOSE 10 POINTS OF OUR FINAL GRADE FOR EACH TIME WE USE "IT" IN THE STORY.

DOG / CAT STORIES ;
We must use five of the senses in a sensory description way for every paragraph we make, and we can't use the words "dog, cat, feline, puppy, kitty."

----------------
I see he's trying to make us better, and if we get our work published with somewhere related to the press (newspaper, t.v,) then we get an automatic "A". :) Plus now we have to keep a portfolio of our work before we go to High School.

How was or now, your eighth grade LA teacher?

Wow, 8th grade was like my shittiest and funnest year, all mixed together. The teachers were mad shitty but the fun was.. fun.
My English teacher was sooo .. ugh. Lol, she forgot a lot, and she barely really taught, not in a fun way that made me WANT to learn. I'd hate to bag on her, considering I kind of pity her for teaching all us kids who pretty much hated her, but, all she did was give us worksheets. Nothing fun. No group work, class work, and discussions were limited. It was very very easy to pass. As long as you finished the worksheets, you were set. Because of that class, I cringe everytime I see a worksheet. UGH. It was like WORKSHEETS EVERY SINGLE DAY! And then maybe a class discussion once in a blue moon. T________T

I'd have to say my 7th grade English class was a bit more challenging and way more fun.

oh man. my 7th grade teacher made us do greek gods and roleplay on them. and we learned the greek alphabet since she was in a sorority. too bad she's married now, because she moved to ohio with a more decent job.

holy sh*t.
that's pretty sick for a grade 8 teacher.

he said in one of the grading periods, we will have to do 10 essays.
