mr. shuckers, my communications teacher, wrote me a recommendation for edinboro's honors program. read it, bitch.
Angela Shadduck has been a student in my senior communications class during this academic year. This class is designed to teach advanced writing skills, give the students a chance to have their writing criticized as part of a small class, to publish their writing for a non-school, adult audience and to learn Adobe desktop publishing procedures. For the past ten years we have published a monthly magazine that is distributed to the legal, business and media community in our area. It is designed to give voice to teenage points of view and opinions as well as teach interviewing and research skills. The course is a full credit, full year course that is an elective open only to seniors.
Angela has excelled in this class. Her writing ability in all the genre has been among the best in the class. Her writing is clear and concise; her style has attracted the attention of many of our readers because of its clarity and "enjoyability" factor. She has dealt with complex issues and presented them in clear, easy-to-read articles. Angela aslo accepts criticism very well; I never have to suggest the same improvement style twice. Her work is always done ahead of schedule and she has been willing to take on additional responsibilities to make the publication better. She volunteered to edit the first issue and did an excellent job in that position. As the year has progressed and my expectations increased she improved to meet them. She also has all of the person qualities I would expect of a student in an advanced course. Her integrity and industry are unquestioned. She thinks independently and has an original, creative approach to many topics. I can recommend her to an honors program with absolutely no reservations.
yay! i love mr. shuckers. i probably won't make the honors program, but i figured i might as well try. wish me luck. i'll keep you posted.
