The Beggining of a New Year

Hello there! My name is Evan and this is my History blog for my 10th grade History class. I am writing this post in order to inform everyone about what some of my goals and expectations are for this year, both in me and my teachers.

Have you ever wondered why you might like some teachers better than others?  There are a few key qualities that teachers need to have in order to be effective at teaching students. One of the most important thing that a teacher needs to have in my opinion is approach ability. This allows students to be able to know that when they are struggling, they can ask that teacher for help and that they will help in any way possible. It allows students to not feel afraid of approaching a teacher, which makes them feel more comfortable round them.  In the past, I've had a few teachers that had this quality, and were also very nice people, which helped to make them even better.  They could constantly be asked questions and give a straight answer instead of ending up confusing most students more.  One specific thing that my teacher can do this year to help me is be clear in class.  Nothing is more frustrating than a teacher who leaves a student confused at the end of the class and leaves them with this confusion while they are doing the assigned homework on that topic.  It isn't just the teachers responsibility to make us bright children, but it is also our own responsibility.

John Green said that it is our duty to do great things with our education, and i strongly agree with him on that.  What is the point of going to school for many years of your life if you don't plan on using that acquired knowledge to do things that help to advance and aid the human race?  For me, i plan on doing great things with my education, but that all starts with doing well in school.  One of my major academic goals this year is to achieve High Honors on my report card, a very difficult task when you are taking all honors level classes.  I hope to reach this goal by studying far more than i did last year and also by making sure i understand the material and asking questions if i do not understand it.  I hope this this year will be greater than the last year, and that i will be even more successful with all of my classes.
