2019-2020 english 9 CP student here. Be prepared for quizzes and tests by annotating your books well. Go through them before class to brush up. This class was difficult even tho it was CP, but its probably cuz I’ve always been bad at english. He will help you write your essays and give good feedback so pay attention. Although english is one of my least favorite subjects, his class was my most favorite in freshman year.

for the reading check quizzes make sure you review sparknotes and other websites for the chapter because those are out of 5 questions in the quiz section of your grade and they really take a toll if you aren't consistently getting 4/5.

be enthusiastic in his class and don't be afraid to share. he likes to make jokes and sometimes it is unneeded or uncomfortable but feel free to call him out on it he will apologize and is really chill. also out of all teachers go to him for advice hes the best to talk to and bounce opinions/ideas/even your problems off of.
