If your walls could talk they would tell you about how much I have had to really put in some effort in order to pass your class. The things that you give me make me really sit down and think. They would tell you about how I have to prepare myself to work when I am on my way to your class. They would also tell you about how your classroom prepared me for all my other classes, because I know that if I can't get pass your class then my grades in my other classes wouldn't be anything nice. Last but not least they would tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you don't hold back anything with us.

If your classroom walls could talk they would tell you how much I've learned in your class they would also, tell you how much I've grown as a better writer and also how I've grown as a better person and student. If your classroom walls could talk they would tell you how you taught me to be open to talk about any and everything and that I have to work hard for what I want. Furthermore , I love the fact that your so open with us and that you are getting us ready for college.

They would tell you how much you changed me from telling me all the harmful hot chips, McDonald's burger lol, and some other things that make you sick and feel bad and destroys your body. Also you showed us that nothing come easy. Saying "When you always do what you've always done, you're going to always get what you've always gotten". ~ Mrs. d~ that quote there changed my whole perspective about things.

Kennedi

Tremont Allen

11/11/2014 11:51:00 am

If the classroom walls of the room could talk I believe they would say I can't stay off my phone.However, they could admit I didnt give up when it came to writing and took the assignments as a challenge.The walls would also tell you I take English serious for the most part because I want to go to college and become a famous fashion designer.

Aspen Smith

11/11/2014 10:17:12 pm

If the classroom walls could talk they would tell my how I've improved my writing skills tremendously but they would also tell me how lazy and in responsible I've been with my work , and how I've could have done so much better

Dominique Hearne

11/11/2014 10:54:25 pm

If the classroom walls of the room could talk it would tell you I struggled but I did learn a few things .For example one thing was ACE. We spent like three weeks on that alone.

Joshua Johnson

Cassidy Wilder

Deranique Browning

Victoria Miller

11/12/2014 01:02:37 am

The walls would probably say Ms. d is a hard teacher, but you will not leave her class without learning something. She wants the best for her students and if that means being hard on them, then that's what she is going to do. In the beginning she will have you second guessing on if you should stay in her class or not, but at the end you will be glad that you stayed.

Arreon Rose

11/12/2014 01:25:54 am

I Agree with Victoria you will not leave her class without learning something. She wants the best for her students and if that means being hard on them, then that's what she is going to do.

Dre Irvin

11/12/2014 01:03:54 am

If your walls could talk they would whisper "that boy Dre gone be something". They would also tell you keep doing what you doing. Last but not least they would thank you for me,for pushing me to realize my potential. I would do it myself but I don't like that sweet, sentimental stuff.

Ms. d.

11/12/2014 06:40:01 am

Antwon Portley

Unique Boynton link

11/12/2014 01:04:01 am

If your classroom walls could talk they would tell you that being in your class has made students appreciate the art of writing, how to express themselves in a different manner, for me personally, this class has made me a better writer,I have learned how to articulate my words, and elaborate or subjects, because you are not just a teacher you are someone who I admire for your ambition and intelligence

Tiara Jackson

11/12/2014 01:09:08 am

If your walls could talk they would say how my experience in your class is one I'll never forget. I never worked so hard in a class before but it gave me a mindset to go hard. If your walls could speak they would say how they seen people come to me for help with their writing because you as a teacher made me believe that I can be one of the best writers in the world. If your walls could talk they'll say to you " well done " because you believed in me when I didn't believe in myself.

Cinthya Vergara

11/12/2014 04:11:13 am

I agree with Tiara, because you never gave up on nobody. You gave everyone that little push to want to become better.

Jessica Chimney

11/12/2014 01:09:37 am

If your classroom walls could talk, they would tell you how I have let myself get easily distracted in your class. I try to understand half the things you teach but don't really get it all the times, but that's still my fault cause I never ask. I don't give my all in this class. Some days I be half way here, and I talk a little to much at times. I would do better in a smaller crowd or a different group of students.

Taylor Dilworth

11/12/2014 03:48:23 am

I agree I have been easily distracted as well.

Ms. d

11/12/2014 06:17:19 am

Ms. Chimney,

You are about to be an adult. The world is not going to bend because you can't focus. That is something you have to find within. The world is not small. The workforce is not small. Even if you work for yourself, you will have distractions that you have to tune out to get things done. Otherwise, you will not eat.

So please, do YOURSELF a favor, and stop making excuses. Get. Life. Done.

Good luck!

Vanessa Salazar

11/12/2014 01:10:42 am

If the classroom walls can talk they would whisper to me the errors that I have done in the class. They would tell me the goods and the bass that I have done in that bad. They would tell me what grades I have made and what behaviors toke place.

Emmanuel Robinson

11/12/2014 01:11:57 am

If your walls could talk they would start off by telling you that you are a wonderful person for teaching us not to lower our standard because we can't do something or don't want to do it. They well tell you that you have prepared this young man for college and that we have to stop making excuse because we didn't do our work or forgot. An also they would say you have better each one of your student In there writing skills and thank you for that.

Asia Dunn

They walls will tell you How hard I be working In class ,I take my time and do it right, I always check my work when im done, and How good of a student I am. I think I learned alot in your class In the passed 12weeks .

Kenneth atkins

11/12/2014 01:20:41 am

If your classroom walls could talk they would tell you that you did a tremendous job teaching us how to write a real paper. The walls would tell you that when I first came to your class I didn't really know what I was doin. You thought us the importants of learning the right way to write an essay. You thought us the something that we will need to know for years to come.

Na'Tajiyah LaCour

11/12/2014 01:21:04 am

The walls of your class room would whisper to you and say that "tough love is sometimes what your students need because no one will be there to hold their hand anymore." " Adult hood is approaching tenaciously, and you have prepared your students for opportunity when it arrives but it is up to them to have a destination." "Considering everyone's prospective and thoughts is a beginning of a new chapter to a higher level of understanding each and every one of your students, you are an outstanding teacher and mentor." Leaving your class means that we as students are not afraid to go out into the "cold world" because our teacher has provided us with an armor that can not be broken.

Demetrius

11/12/2014 03:00:29 am

I agree. She did give us pointers about the real world.

Isaiah manning 2nd period

TeA

11/12/2014 03:03:13 am

Although this is a good response it doesn't answer what was asked. You should have included what your experience was like in Ms.d classroom.

jonathon johnson

11/12/2014 01:30:24 am

i agree because without education most things wouldn't be possible

Maria Hurtado 2nd

11/12/2014 01:32:27 am

If your classroom walls were able to whisper to you my experience as a senior it would be great. It would give you an opportunity to see how hard I try to not only complete, but also achieve the ideal grades in all my assignments. Also inform you that the expectations you have for all of us are essential in preparing us for the future, and it is greatly appreciated by many.

Roberto Molina 2nd

11/12/2014 01:35:01 am

If your classroom walls could talk they probably tell you that the method your are using to teach your students, and try to preparer them for next step in college is a great method. Even though, students probably do not like it, it will still help when they go to college because is it an assimilation on what are they going to see in college.

Janesia Henderson

11/12/2014 01:36:30 am

If my classroom walls could talk, they would tell me what I learned today and How my performance was today In class. It's somewhat like having a second teacher. They would. Tell me How much I learned and comprehended today.

Symphoni Davis

11/12/2014 02:45:39 am

I agree with Janesia, because sometimes ms.d can not get to all kids in the classroom so having a second teacher will be good

Ms. d.

11/12/2014 06:37:41 am

Ms. Henderson,

Brandon moore

11/12/2014 02:21:38 am

If your classroom walls had a mouth they would describe how playful we were as a class. They would also state how when ever we buckle down and do our work then we can be very successful as a class. The walls woul see all the things we do in class behind the teachers back, whether it's taking a pencil without permission, or if it was horse playing with a fellow classmate. Over all the classroom walls of Mrs. D's class would show how well prepared and how good of a teacher she is.

Fatima Durham

11/12/2014 02:21:44 am

I agree with DeMarcus Byrd. Even though I arrived late the walls would tell you I put in much effort to pass your class. Also, the walls would tell you I was dedicated and tried my best no matter what the assignment was. Some of the assignments helped me better myself in not just writing but speech too .

Aspen

11/12/2014 02:35:26 am

If your classroom walls could talk they will tell you how much I've grown not only as a writer, but as a thinker. The walls will tell you how much I appreciate you pushing me to find the answers on my own instead of you giving them to me. How open with us about your life and all the crazy stories you tell us about Chelsea😂 the walls will tell you to pass me because I didn't come this far to not graduate. The walls will tell you thank you and how greatful I am.

Symphoni Davis

11/12/2014 02:41:40 am

Anthony halloway

If your walls could talk they will most definitely say "Anthony has really progressed on his writing skills and is probably have learned the most he has ever learned in a English classroom" and they will also add that Anthony is not just in the classroom he is actually learning,and really interested on what Ms.D is teaching.

DaQwaylan Dunbar

11/12/2014 02:49:30 am

If your classroom walls could talk, they would never shutup about magic three, painting with participles, and literary works. They would whisper how I grew through the year with my expansion of knowledge with writing and vocabulary. It would spook me to know the walls are stalking me.

Avier Ashby

11/12/2014 02:51:24 am

If these classroom walls could talk,it will tell you that you did a good job teaching the class of 2015. This year in this classroom I however, became a better writer. Also,I learned how to analyze my writing and how to take my time with my test and to stay more organized with my work.

Demetrius.

11/12/2014 02:53:11 am

If the classrooms walls could speak they would tell you that we waste Ia lot of time with side conversations. Also the walls would let you know that our class room is a horrible testing environment. Lastly, the walls would say we have the potential to learn a lot, but our class is too loud.

Alex Bennett

11/12/2014 11:26:21 am

That is true, BUT, sometimes great conversations can be started from random chattering.

If your walls coukd talk in your class room they would tell you that we have so much potential to learn alot but alot of us is lady and talk too much. And that we waste alot of time talking about irrelevant things instead of getting our work done on time and not taking 2 or 3 days for one single assignment.

rauscher

11/12/2014 03:35:17 am

Ronisha Lankford

11/12/2014 03:49:05 am

If your walls could talk they would tell you how much you have help me grow over the time I was in your class . Not only speaking of writing but as a young adult. You opened my eyes to a lot of things and i question things a lot more than what I use to. I was challenged often in your class and that help me push myself to do better while also motivating myself to go above and beyond what is expected of me.

Domenic Brown

They would tell you how hard I've stressed myself to meet your expectations. I went from writing like a 4th grader to a more complex and high leveled senior. The walls would tell you I felt more than accomplished when I passed my TSI with a 7 out if 8. They would tell you I am thankful for not giving up on me.

If you walls could talk, they'd tell you how much I value life now more than ever. I've learned how to use literary techniques, and I've learned how to spot them in text while reading. I'm on my way to becoming a better writer because of your teaching methods.

If classroom walls could talk, many debates could be brought to attention. Our learning experience is good, but it may differ from what the "walls" would be able to see. Would the walls tell someone? Maybe although, the walls would display our stuggle and our well being in the classroom environment.

If your walls could talk they would tell you that I struggled a lot but I worked hard to figure it out after you said "yo bad". I also learned to take my time and plan out essays. Lowkey your class was hard . But I'm sure these walls gone be like "she deserve a A off top!"

If the class room walls could speak, they'd speak of my growth in the knowledge of English. They would speak of how hard I have worked to better myself as a writer. Stories of how I helped my class mates would also come to surface. My story would be one of trumph.

The walls would whisper to me that I've learned how to write better essays and how to write better short answer responses.

I'f your walls could talk. They would tell you that you are my favorite teacher at the school. Why because you keep it to real. You aren't going to beat around the bush you gone tell it like it is. Straight live and direct and don't give a D@mn who don't like it. That's what they would tell you.

If my class room walls can talk, they would probably say I should apply myself and don't follow the crowd. I really want to learn and make it fat in life but when I'm put in class where classmates are disrespectful. So as a quiedt student I sit there ignoring the lesson and pay attention whwn I want too. After three years I'm learning but have no having a good habit.Learning that I well do more in my senior year, being able to put my work timw first

If these walls could speak they would talk about our good times our class had. The laughs. The conversation. The vibe. Along side of those times we also had serious & learning times. Half of us walked into this class not knowing half of the things we know now. The walls would speak nothing but good things about Mrs.D and her ability to teach as well as she do. The walls would know that we will walk out of this class more educated than ever because of Mrs.D.

I completely agree with the statement. Education is the most important thing ever. Without education there is no life, life would be completely pointless if thre was no education. There is not a defined poi t to life yet and with education we can actually try to fugure out why we ARE HERE. Educatiin might actually be the reason we are here on this earth.

If the classroom walls could talk they would say what exactly what Ms. d would say, from what she taught, to the stories she told. She put every thing she told us on those walls, to the point were she could have said "just study the wall and y'all pass." The literary work, informationl text, the a.c.e. strategy, the 10 things that make me smile, parts of speech, annotation, and etc. Can't express how much I've learned but those walls can.

If your classroom walls could talk they'll tell you that you're the only English teacher that really helped improve my writing skills. Furthermore it'll tell you that I've learned a lot in your class not only about writing but about real life situations. Finally I look up to you, you've inspired me to achieve my goals in life.

Im not sure what your walls would say if they talked, it would depend on who they were talking about. Me personally, I think Ive learned a bit more on how to annotate a passage.

If the walls in your classroom could talk, they would tell you about all the enjoyable moments we had in your classroom. Also, they would tell you about how my cell phone stayed glued to my hand. Lastly, they would tell you how you opened my eyes to the real world. We wrote about real life situations and things that applied to our situation. This opened our eyes and expanded our outlook on things and put us into a higher set of thinking.

I think this class has helped me get a better picture of how things really work, and how things should be done and the right way they should be done. I think this class can help any student achieve what they want and answer any questions they might have.

If the walls could talk then it would explain how being in this class we have grown in many ways .One way is that we have enhanced our vocabulary ,we have learned how to relatevreal life experiences to the school when we are writing. .
