In examining how a class should tackle on the subject of English, I would have to say there are no limits. The boundaries are endless, and thats what I learned in this class. Its important to consider all options. We do not have to stick with just traditional literature and texts. However, its important that we still preserve traditional methods of learning.

More importantly, I think English should incorporate more art in its curriculum. They go so well hand in hand, because both students of either studies are trying to send a message. its good to explore what types of outlets people choose to relay certain messages. Everything can be seen as an artistic form of expression in its own right. Both literature and art works say something about its time period and history, and its important that these artifacts are preserved. Other forms of art includes music, which is also very important.

I like the idea of "blogging", because extends discussion and conversation outside the class room and I think its a particularly good tool for English studies. Ideas and thoughts pop in our minds throughout the day, so why limit our thinking to just the time we have in the classroom?

The Teagle Report was really interesting, and its good that this was written in order to encourage more students to join the journey in being an English student. English is an important subject to value because it allows people to explore texts and art beyond their own walk of life. It also helps students think and analyze life and meaning, and I think everyone should strive hard to find deeper meaning in everything. As an English student, I think I have thought more about "why" certain things are the way they are, or "why" certain things have become a historical mark, and etc.

The goals included in the Teagle Report is very relevent for any career and leadership goals. And I think English studies greatly help me articulate my creativity and thoughts in professional work environments. In ENGL 366 we explored how to do this in visiual and auditory ways.

This relationship that the Teagle Report addresses is really important, and Scholes seems to feel that literature and English is really important to uphold. We also explore why art and English are so seperate, when they share so many of the same qualities. We shouldn't put limits on what English is, and instead we should explore it in everyway possible. Today's techno-age allows us to that~!
