As I've mentioned before, I'm going into an honors English class. I met the teacher whom everyone thought would teach that class, and I liked her.

Now, there's a different teacher on my schedule--same class, though--and I don't know ANYTHING about her or her methods. I sent her an email with some questions, but how should I practice self advocacy in this situation? And I know this is a weird question, but will the book I carry into class on the first day make any impression? Thanks in advance.

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.
