The first day of independent study was not how I expected it to be. I expected people to talk the entire period and have conversations completely unrelated to English (as usually a class behaves without a teacher), but it pleasantly surprised me to see students actually using the time wisely by working on their journals, comprehensive questions, reading, etc. For me, I first passed out the résumés (as I was trusted to do!), then I collected ideas about the journal - I described how using diction from a different language allows the readers feel related to the author and his/her culture. Since that word might have a different connotative meaning, it also allows the readers to see the word, its meaning, and its usage from a different perspective. Finally, I went to the library to get my book for book analysis.
