Now that the Midterm is over, what are your thoughts?
Please be thorough. I do change assignments year to year from the comments students give! (That does not mean you can say, "Make it longer and harder so they have to suffer!") =)
By the way, have a great break. While you are sleeping in, I will be grading essays after essays after essays after...

I'm glad that the midterm is over..I liked doing a midterm project instead of an exam. The project wasn't too bad and it's better than having to remember all the terms and things that we've covered so far for a test.
P.S. I won't be sleeping in all week
it was more work than i thought it would be
It was pretty easy. I read the book consistently over the two weeks, finished the day before it was due and typed my essay in just a few hours. Some might call that last minute, but I definatly think it was a good essay.
The midterm was fun. i enjoyed being able to pick out our own books. i wish i could have made it better but i was so busy with other stuff. talk about a crazy day. i'm still struggleing to get things done!
it was ok.. the book i read was an ok one.. the essay wasnt that bad.. i think overall it was alright.. but im definitly glad it's over.. cant wait to sleep next week while everyone gets to take exams..
So...what I am hearing (reading) is that you liked the Midterm?
Nobody "likes" midterms, but this one could have been a lot worse. It was interesting, very interesting.
i liked the midterm because we could choose our own book - that was good. and i really liked that we could choose between essay and projects. but the thing was: i thought doing a project wouldnt cost me a lot of time ... well it did!! :D

I thought that the midterm was a challange. and the fact that some one gave away my book, and would not get it back made it even more of a challange. I was forced two buy a new book and read it within fourty-eight hours and also do the project didn't help either. Also, I didn't even get to finish my project... Geist next year make sure that your students READ THE DIRECTIONS! I was talking to one of your ninth graders and hey! they have the same midterm! I was thinking I had to do all of the options until 11:30 when I was talking to caitlin. I thought that the parts I did do were fun after I found out what I had to do.
im so glad that the midterms are done and over with. i was so stressed out with trying to get everything in on time and making sure im passing.i dont like when im rushing around last minute and trying to do everything at once. yeah im a last minute person.haha. yeah i do like doing projects better than test cuz i always fail at tests.
the midterm was insane! Man I thought that it was going to easy but then i realized that i didn't konw we had to do an essay too. Damn people that tell me wrong info!!
The midterm we did was definately better than taking an exam! I liked how we got to pick our own book. I really don't think I would have read a book if it wasn't for the midterm but I loved the book I read.
I thought the midterm was REALLY easy. I think there should be more to it for a midterm but hey i was happy with it :) its a good way to get people to read
Midterms was great... No exams - very nice
I really liked the mid term personally because i liek to read and i got to do something i like It was much better than a test is was def lot more work than i thought!
The project was a lot of work though... reading a book and doing assignments about it! Turned out alright though
well to tell you the truth i really liked the assignment i didn't hink i was that bad it's just i'm a procrastinator. i always wait till the last moment to d everything. but it really was a good assignment all the way around.
To me the Midterm in English wasn't all that bad. I read a book that was worth reading and the essay wasn't as hard as I thought that it would be.
I enjoyed doing the Midterm. It was fun! && much better then a written test.
reading a book was kind of a good idea for the midterm. i liked the book i read and probably would of never found it if i wasn't suppose to find a book. but all together i think the midterm was a good idea and giving two choices was awesome because i hate essays.
I like the midterm this year. I thought it was awesome that we were given options. I loved that we could choose our own book and be creative with the projects. Essays are often boring to do all the time.
I thought the mid term was great. getting to chose a book that you enjoy was easy.
yea that sounds like sweet plan...make them little rats suffer lol i know you know how to complicate things so DO IT!!!
I am glad the midterm is over. I loved how you gave two options to the midterm. One for people who like writing essays and two for people who love to get creative. I think this midterm was the best iv ever had in my entire life!! :)
Im sure the Juniors comin up will love it too.
This class is too hard. you should just let us all pass.
Yes! Their over and Midterms suck!
i think we shoulda been able to be exempt but w/e it was easy
Midterms are a pain but at least there over.
yea i totally aced that schist. i think we should just continue to play mum-ball for the remainder of the year sinse english 12 is pointless anyways, there's no regents or anything. and we can all learn a lot from the great game of mum-ball, such as good sportsmenship and the realms of human emotion...lmao
i am happy because i don't have to stay up late working on it. it sucked
I am glad the midterm is over and it was more work than I thought but I rather do a project rather than a test.
BABY GIRL 20008
MIDTERMS ARE OVER!!!!! I,m glad they are over that Means i'm closer to geting out of high School.!!!!!
June 27,2008 HERE WE COME CLASS OF "O8"!!!!!!!
i am really glad that the mid term is over i did the whole project in one day hat day that it was due.
midterm was gay only got an 81 bogus man
I'm so happy that i completed that midterm project! I liked it much better than an exam though. It was alot of work, moer than I thought it would be, but it was still better than an exam. And the fact we got to chose our own novel was cool too. Even though I wasn't all that impressed with my novel as I was told I was going to be, it was a good book for my midterm project.
