In preschool, I loved when my teachers would read books to us. -
My teacher introduced us to TicketToRead.com, a website designed to improve reading skills. The more we read, the more points and prizes we won to decorate our online clubhouse. Although at seven years old I initially wanted to read through many short stories to win prizes, I found myself enjoying reading when I realized how much I was learning and improving. -
In third grade, my class had a few students who spoke some English but mainly Spanish. I was paired up with a friend when it came to our assignments that correlated with the reading we were doing. -
In freshman year of high school, we read Macbeth and had to write an essay about fate vs. free will. -
My anatomy teacher assigned us to groups with a medical case study. We had to read the pretend patient's file, do research on the symptoms. The goal of the case study was to look for potential diagnoses, treatments, and cures. -
Read Frankenstein in my English class and made a presentation on the potential dangers of "playing God" and debating the ethics of creating life in an unnatural way.
