Hi folks, I've got some optionals coming up next year and I want to choose wisely. So, what were the most fun classes you took in high school? What made them so memorable? Did they align with your interests or was it the teaching style that made them engaging? Looking forward to your insights!
Hey there! One of the classes I enjoyed in high school was a creative writing elective. We covered a range of topics from poetry to short stories and even scriptwriting. This class stands out to me because it allowed me to explore my creativity in a more structured environment and it pushed me to write things I might not have attempted on my own. The prompts we were given were often diverse and thought-provoking, which added another layer of excitement.
The teaching style was more interactive - our teacher was very supportive and provided constructive feedback. This helped us understand our strengths and areas for improvement. The class also involved some peer-review exercises which I found insightful. It helped me understand how others' perspectives can influence the way they interpret our work, which helped me become a more thoughtful and nuanced writer.
Ultimately, no matter which elective you choose, I think it's both the subject matter and the teaching style that can make a class memorable and enjoyable. Often, you won't know exactly what to expect until you're in the class, so it can be helpful to chat with older students who've taken the electives you're interested in for their insights. Good luck with your decision!
