1. Macbeth Comparison The poetry covered in class was actually pretty great. Especially when we got into iambic pentameter; being allowed to create our own poems with iambic pentameter helped me, personally, understand the style of writing even more.

Having annotations and worksheets helps me want to learn more and allow me to flow through the book rather than having to stop when I find something I find interesting and spend a few minutes trying to put a response together. But writing the essays had been easier having the quote the page the quote was on. The discussions were pretty great when I had a group that is.
