The piece of work that I am most proud of are my Literature Circles, I was most proud of this assignment because during this you may get stressed and when it was over it makes me feel so proud that I have completed one of the most important assignment in the trimester. It is a total relieve, for me, that I have finished all that is required and that it is finally over. The Literature Circles was also my greatest challenge of the year mainly because it is one assignments with many assignments inside of it. The part that mostly challenged me during this was the questions. I was challenged by this because the questions needed to make you think and to confess, but it also requires a well structured answer. Next thing that challenged me was the passage and the connection. It was a struggle on the passage because you needed a main point in the story and you might think that you do not find that in every chapter but when you talk to your group you might hear something that sounded obvious. For the connection I found it hard because maybe you are reading hatchet and you never got stranded ( most people) and you are thinking how to find a connection but I found a way to overcome this problem. The best result for me was to talk about emotions or the obvious. For me as a learner I found somethings that helped me grow as a learner such as In quiet conditions I may focus more but when it is dead silence it makes me feel nervous as well. Also that group works make me become a better at collaborating. another thing I learned about myself is that I tend to do better in things on the computer and not as good as if I was writing it down, my handwriting just confuses myself sometimes and then maybe teacher would maybe read it wrong possibly lowering my grade.
I was asked to answer the following things with an explanation.
Behavior
Satisfactory- I think my behavior was good I do not think I said or did anything rude I am good I was well behaved I listened I spoke when I needed to speak, I think I met the requirements clearly.
Participation
Satisfactory- I participated at least raised my hand once during a conversation when we could participate.
Organization
Satisfactory- I put my self satisfactory because I think I did one or two late homeworks but otherwise I think I was good organized and I was pretty close to being the first one finished in the locker check-ups to I thought my organization was exceptionally well.
Effort
Satisfactory- I put my effort satisfactory because I was well organized but what I think excellent effort is doing everything in one day and checking it more than 3 times. So I did not do that so I put my self a solid Satisfactory.
Two personal learning Goals for grade 7
Goal 1
In grade 7, I plan to have better participation in class. I feel that my participation in grade 6 was good but could be improved. I could take a guess and I do not like to take a guess because I only like saying answers I do not like saying things that might be correct. In grade 7 I heard from one of my teacher that you do more presentations and I see that more of a participation thing although it of course is required to do. I am not too good of a presenter but I am thinking of myself as an OK presenter.
Goal 2
in grade 7, I plan to put more effort in to my work. I know I put effort in my work but it could use a better boost for my work, I could use better selected picture according to the size of it and if it blurs or not. I could use more time on finding my information in my own time. I could put more effort in my work. My time could be used wiser and work a while more at home. Also checking my work more would improve my effort, so I think that I should check my work more often. Maybe work with people that I know can put effort into work and people I know better would raise my effort for group work. Effort is a good way to do well in school and a great way for success and I could use more effort.
6. I would say maybe change the books for Literature Circles that nobody read this year to not be an option next year because people do not pick that book for a reason. But overall the Literature Circles was a good way to learn in Humanities and should continue to stay.
7. My favorite lesson in Humanities would be the imaginative narrative. I enjoyed this and put it as my favorite activity because it was fun to make something of your own and decide how your story goes. It was a great activity and also you learn from it so I found it good in both ways academically and enjoyment.
8. I wish we could spend more time on the imaginative narrative it was fun and it only lasted for like 3 days. If we spent more time with it we would do even better when it comes to Ancient Egyptian diaries. Although we did pretty good we could be better if we spent more time with it.
9. Advice for the class of 2018 would be never think that you would do your homework in school it almost never works. Another piece of advice would be try to do your homework on the day it is giving unless if it is a project. You also should do you homework first instead of doing anything else unless urgent matters.
