English
Ms. Noyce teaches ninth grade English at AMES. Throughout the first semester we read "The Odyssey", "Whirligig", and "Into the Wild". After each time we finished a book we had to take a test and write an argument paper off of a prompt that she gave us. We had to be done writing the paper by the end of class. We would get the papers back and we were required to rewrite it, making corrections to the paper. It has really helped with my argument writing, since it was very poor when I first started school.
