Lori Novick-Carson

Ms. Novick is a pretty okay English teacher. Her class is kind of boring, but at least it isn't hard. [I had her before the pandemic, so some things might not be accurate] She doesn't really have a set routine for each day in class. You never really know what you're going to focus on, but it's pretty chill. Activities you can expect are going over a slide show lecture, class discussion, worksheets, and groupwork. Sometimes she'll also give you a writers workshop. Please get a folder if you have her because she gives out a tone of handouts and they're never hole punched. Usually when you start a new book/unit, she'll go over a slide show. In general, when Ms. Novick does that, she gives you a note taking sheet to fill out along with it. She does do a lot of groupwork, but it's mostly just doing a worksheet with a partner or something. Sometimes she'll make you do a presentation, but not very often. She doesn't give too much homework. If it's not an essay, it's probably a packet you need to do with the reading. Just make sure to do the reading, because you never know how much you're going to need it during class. She's a bit unpredictable to be frank. Grades-wise, her class was pretty easy for me. As long as you do the reading and homework, and pay a little attention in class, you should be fine. Even though her class wasn't my favorite, she's pretty nice, and gives you a lot of resources to help with essay writing.
