How the Class is going

I really like the direction our class is moving in and what we do in class.  I'm a fan of the books we have read so far, and the discussions that come out of them. I think we should have more "circle" discussions where as a class we really debate what we think about certain things.  I don't really have a problem with the groupworks, as I had a class last year where group works were pretty crazy and extremely long and in my opinion sometimes unneccessary. I guess we could always have less groupworks, that would be nice. Another thing I would like to add is I really like how you incorporate music to a lot of what we learn and do in class. Music is a passion of mine and it's really fun to learn about new music and relating certain songs to what we are learning. For my English class last year, we would watch a movie after we finished a certain book, whether it is the film version of that book, or a movie that didn't seem to have to do with the book itself, but had very similar underlying themes and related to what we just read in a very interesting way.  So, watching a movie that related to what we read would be interesting, and I'm not just trying to waste time or anything, this was just something that I thought was really cool with my other English class, and a suggestion that you may incorporate it into our class. Otherwise, awesome class!
