ELA This Semester

What did you do this semester in ELA that was most meaningful to you, and why was it meaningful?
The most meaningful thing I did in ELA this year were the creative writing assignments I got to do. The creative writing was the most meaningful for me because it was another outlet I got to use to express myself and my creative nature. 
What was the most challenging thing about ELA this semester, and why?
The most challenging thing about ELA this year was writing an analytical paper. That was the most challenging for me because I struggle with have good sentence structure and grammar. 
What would you like to change about ELA, and why?
I would like to have more grammar lessons. We only had a couple. I want more because like I said in my last answer I struggle with sentence structure and grammar. 
What would you like to stay the same in ELA, and why?
I would like to keep things the way they are except for having more grammar lessons. ELA has become one of my favorite classes and I am understanding and participating. For me the way the class is now works really well for me. 
Something that I just wanted to add was that sometimes it gets a little difficult or complicated to fit all the criteria needed to get a good grade in seminar. Not because I am not prepared but just on how the discussion is going and who is participating.

3 heroic epithets

1) "Athena's seagrey eyes glinted" 
This is helpful to the singer because it helps give detail and description to the character of Athena. This will allow the audience to be able to be more intrigued and picture Athena. 
2) "And Telemachus, in his clear headed way:" 
This shows a strong personality trait of Telemachus. This helps the singer because it helps the audience to know what Telemachus was like. 
3) "Dawn's pale rose fingers" 
This helps the singer to set the mood. To allow the audience to picture the setting and imagine it more clearly.
