Mr. Moore was a great teacher. We only take 3 tests. A short story test, a drama test, and a poetry test. He says they get easier, but i beg to differ. There is a lot of reading involved, but i took it during the summer, so everything was crammed into a short period of time. There is a big journal project over reading assignments and there are notecards. Each test was worth 150 points. The journal project was worth 50 points, and that is a lot of work for only 50 points.(Don't wait until the last minute) Total the notecards are worth 100 points. Ps don't spell anything wrong on the notecard, make sure you have story titles, and the designated amount of words. This all adds up to 600 points. The student assigned the story discusses it to the class, an he just puts his two cents in. Students do most of the teaching. Just make sure you pay attention to little details in the story and the stuff he says, because even though what he says may not be directly related to the story, it may be on the test. Warning: He gets off topic alot, and someone may have to let him know about himself. He gets excited about stories that have sex in them, and he picks favorites. His favorite is usually a female. Also, if you don't like getting his attention, sit to the right side of the room, otherwise sit to the left.
He has an obsession with the not just reading, but the word read in general. You will see a new read poster students made every class.
there are a lot of opportunites for extra credit. He asked me to sing a poem to the them of Gilligan's island for 10 extra points on my test. How hard is that.
