Can you believe the end of the quarter is already here? The teachers must have kept us busy so we didn't even realize it! The tedious hours of homework must have disguised the actual quarter length. But onto the English class of this quarter:
1. General Procedures: In all honesty, I think I did well in coming to class prepared, checking email, responding to emails, reading during class, not packing up early, and waiting to be dismissed. However, I do recall having to go to the bathroom once or twice during class.
2. Lecture, announcements, whole class discussions: I feel as though I've done this in the years before. Participating in class has always been an essential aspect to my learning, especially in English. But I may not have done well asking questions during the lectures.
3. Individual and Group Work: When I work by myself, I think I do better. I get more done in a shorter period of time. I find it is hard to get distracted or procrastinate. In groups, I still try to be productive. Yes, it is easier to get off-topic, but I know the more I get done in class, the less I have to do out of class. Everyone knows I DESPISE homework.
4. Growth: Hmm....Growth.... Let me start by saying that Dr. D did a fantastic job explaining the literary elements to us. I love how she broke it up, giving us a short stories to focus each element. However, I think she understood that theme was a difficult one, so in my opinion she should have given more time for us to soak it in. So I guess Dr. D can better help us learn by giving us more detail and time for difficult subjects.
All in all, this whole quarter has been very interesting for me. It is a big leap from middle school to high school, ranging from freedom to academics. I've enjoyed it all, strangely even English. It used to be full of boring work that in the end never really taught me anything. From what I've seen so far from this blogging experience, I am PUMPED for next quarter.
Almost identical to all of my ethics of class work with a few minor differences here and there, but few none the less. I too find my self working alone more than others, although I'm not a extremely shy person, I'm very outgoing. Its just I find it much much easier to work alone due to the fact of not having to carry the group on your shoulders or any of that jive. I too am excited for the 2nd quarter, I guess one would say more curious than excited. Just anticipating all of the possible things we could do ( good and or bad ) build the eagerness to learn. Once again another flawless blog!
