Fires In the Bathroom Chapter One

One of the ideas I completely agreed with in chapter one was on page 7; the idea was to allow students to keep a journal. Another idea I really agreed with was to use a questionaire to get to know you students. I have had teachers in the past use questionaires; the questionaires made me feel special because I felt like the teacher wanted to get to know me outside of my school work.

I think this a great idea because in my first- year English class in high school we were allowed to do that. I felt the journals allowed my teacher to get to know all of her students. My teacher would also give us topics to write about that would reflect upon reading or current events. I felt that the journals not only let us think and express our feelings about ourselves, but also the world around us.
