To succeed in this class, you should memorize the vocabulary you are given (at least for English 10) and this can be accomplished with Quizlet. You should also pay attention and participate in class readings and discussions because it will be useful for benchmarks and essays.

Mr. Baker is probably (definitely) my most favorite teacher so far in my, how do you say, high school career. When having in-person classes, I assume that the period you have him in will affect how you experience his class because many people in earlier periods did not particularly enjoy his class meanwhile my friends and I would look forward to our last period class with him. He will sometimes reads aloud to the class or have students reading row-to-row. (He has an amazing reading voice and if you are lucky, he might read this Robert Burns poem in a Scottish accent or sing this Italian opera song. Both were awesome. )
