Dimon Interview

I met up with Mr. Dimon yesterday, to learn more about him and the English department. He is an English teacher here at East. He told me that the English department is currently developing a curriculum. All of the English teachers are getting together and sharing their ideas, cooperating. They are also testing their students on their reading comprehension and finding out about their writing styles by giving them assignments in which they have to read a piece of writing and then answer questions about it, and assignments in which they have to develop their own pieces of writing. I asked him about what books he is currently reading. He told me that he is currently reading a science fiction novel about a troupe of Shakespearean actors who time travel into the future. He said it’s really weird, but also very funny and interesting! We recommended books to each other. He told me I should read more science fiction books, and I told him he should read more fantasy books and biographies of famous people. Mr. Dimon is an awesome person to be around! He’s wise, but he also has a sense of humor, which is a fantastic combination! I had him as an English teacher at one point during my freshman year of high school, and I can honestly say that he is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had! The world would be a better place if there were more teachers like him!
