Staff Writer Are you “Ready For It?” It has been a long time coming, but Bonneville High School has a new elective. Chelsea Wolsey, also known as Mrs. A, has created an elective course revolving around the pop singer Taylor Swift. The Bonneville Buzz interviewed Mrs. A about her new Taylor Swift elective with thirteen enchanting questions. The class gets the opportunity to view live performances, music videos, and interviews of Swift's life. English can be difficult for some students, and most students struggle with literary analysis. However, with this class “writing about someone you love and adore makes those tricky tasks less tricky.” According to Mrs. A, it is easier to write about something the students enjoy. For example, if someone enjoys art, they will enjoy researching an art-related topic. “Long story short,” students really enjoy this class, and Mrs. A loves teaching this class because “it is the highlight of [her] day.” Mrs. A says when she gives a reading assignment, she does not get a single complaint because the students enjoy reading about Taylor Swift. She gets to teach students about someone she loves and looks up to; she helps students understand tricky things in English. People may think this class can only be for devoted Swifties, however it can be for anyone. Mrs. A questioned one of her students about the class, as he does not listen to Taylor Swift; nonetheless, “he is enjoying learning about her and listening to her music.” Proving that this class is not just for Swifties, and can be for anyone who is willing to learn more about music and culture. At times, Mrs. A goes over other artists who can have something related to Swift, to allow a break for non-Swifties. The class listens to Swift's songs every day, and Swifties and non-Swifties are invested in the class. Helping her students understand Taylor Swift's complicated stories in her songs is her “End Game.” Mrs. A loves that “One day we are spending time in deep analysis of her lyrical and musical choices…” She stated, “...next we are making friendship bracelets and discussing why and how we became Swifties in the first place.” The students and Mrs. A enjoy this new Taylor Swift elective because it gives them an opportunity to build genuine relationships with others of similar interests. Hopefully, Mrs. A's class opens the door for more unique elective classes in the future.
