2nd Quarter Reflections

I think I progressed from the start of school until now because I was able to approve in different categories such as researching, being able to find quotes, and finding central ideas in different articles. I feel like I'm able to write paragraph’s way more fluently. The new skills I gained from this class helps me understand certain thing that others wouldn't be able to perceive such as different quotes and a certain writing that hides the meaning. I like how Im able to do such things that makes me a overall better writer and researcher.

Some strategies that have worked throughout the school year is T.I.Q.A. That strategy mainly helped in the first Quarter. It also helped in some parts of the second Quarter. It improved my writing and made it more organized and fluent. Another way that made my writing better was a strategy that I learned during our first Aow. It was organized in a way that it was able to show my central idea and be able to show all my evidence. But this was good to me and bad because I forgot all the strategies that I learned at my old school. This is not good because I want to be able to use a variety of strategies that will help me through high school and maybe college.

Areas that I made my biggest improvements on are IXL and Vocabulary. I mainly struggled in IXL because of laziness and not being able to have the resources I need. In vocab what I struggled with was being able to have time to study because at that time I was involved with a lot of sports and different activities. I would be so tired after practice, so when coming home from practice or something else I wouldn't have time to do nothing because I would go straight to sleep. Now that sports is over i'm going to be able to improve in both categories which i'm already improving on. Now that I know some of my weaknesses in this class I know what I'm supposed to improve on.
