As long as you know how to read and comprehend material, you will do just fine. We read books such as Great Expectations, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Romeo and Juliet along the two trimesters you have the class. She teaches a variety of classes, including Science Fiction, English, Advanced English, and English 9AH. It is too bad the only sophomore class that she teaches is Science Fiction, where you read and watch books and movies like Jurassic Park, discussing the scenes or chapters, and possibly having a little food party at the end. Even though her English classes all have different titles, the only main difference is the amount of work you get, if that varies at all. One day, we were giving essays on how to do something that we love, and one of our classmates was allowed to bring her new llama as a visual aid to her essay about grooming and training one.

She is an amazing teacher. She is always available to help or even just to talk, even if she currently has a class. I can't tell you how many times two or three juniors or seniors have knocked on the door during their lunch hour while we were working on the computers just to talk to her! Kidwell is very easy to talk to, and will help you directly with any questions you may have. She has her sarcastic moments, and a sense of humor to match. Any quote that makes her laugh is documented in her notebook, printed out, and posted on the walls of the classroom. I do not mean a bulletin board; I mean all four walls are covered head-to-toe in these quotes from students she used to have.
