Reflection

Happy Holidays!
This year went by so fast. Here is my reflection of English class this semester.

1) “Most Beautiful Work Award” - Which piece of writing (formal or informal) are you most proud of and why? What other skill or habit have you developed (maybe as a reader?) that you are proud of?

The writing I am most proud of is my personal statement. I really enjoyed writing it because I learned more about myself during the process. I think it is a good idea for us to look back and examine our life so we can find how to be a better person. I would like to thank Stephanie, Tenesha(so sad that she left), Arielle and Rishika for helping me revising it. Also, thanks to those who read it and gave me feedback. Couldn't have made it a good paper without your help.

2) “Lesson Learned” - What content do you feel you have mastered? Or, which skill(s) did you enjoy learning and feel that you have had some success in developing? How so?

Through the inquiry reading project, I developed my skill in reading, summarizing and using the books to answer my questions. I think the only way to become a better reader is to read more.

3) “Lessons I’d Like to Learn” - Which skills would you like to develop before graduation? What content do you feel that you need to know in order to feel ready for college? Do you have any project ideas?

I would like to learn how to manage my time. In December, we are given a Calendar of what we should finish each day. I found this EXTREMELY helpful. I am the kind of person that always wait until the last minute to do my work. This helped me to pace myself.

I would also like to learn more about writing. I think the reason why college is a lot harder than high school is that the standard is a lot higher and the content is more in depth. It is hard to develop good writing skills. I would like to learn more to prepare for college.

We spent a couple of weeks studying tragedy this semester. I really enjoyed it. I think we should do a comedy project so that we can read/watch something happy.
