End of the year reflection blog


My reflection
1- What are the three most important things you learned this year?
2- What is something we did this year that you think you will remember for the rest of your life?
3- What was the nicest thing someone in our class did for you this year?
4- What is something you taught your teacher or classmates this year?
5- In what area do you feel you made your biggest improvements? What is something you accomplished this year that you are proud of?
6- What was the most challenging part of this year for you?
7- What was the best piece of writing that you did this year? Why do you think it is your best?
8- Of the books you read this year, which was your favorite? Why?
9- What advice would you give students who will be in this class next year?

The three most important things that I have learned this year are how to do blogs, how to research, and I also learned new complex words. I think that these are important because learning to do blogs are an important tool because doing blogs is almost like a new way to communicate. I believe that learning how to research is an important tool because if we don't know some information then we have to help justify our answers with research. I finally think that learning new complex words is an important tool because if I ever talk to someone then I can impress them with my good choice of diction and look as if I am well spoken.

I think that something I will remember from this year for the rest of my life is how I was accepted into this group and how I fell like I am finally one of the other students because this class is merged with 7A and 7B. I think that I will remember this for the rest of my life because sometimes you may not feel accepted but in time you will. The people in the class are very nice and have a great positive attitude and I think that this made it easier to adapt.

The nicest thing that someone did for me this year was probably help me adapt and in my first day there Siari sat next to me and she was telling me what to do for homework because at first it was hard to adapt but now I have adapted. The homework was honestly hard to adapt to because  the work required a lot of thinking and in the end it was just my time management that had changed.

Something that I have taught a student is how to start using a schedule of when to do your homework. I taught them this because some times it is hard to go off by all of your daily routines. I think that it is hard to go off by your schedule but it does help with scheduling.

The area that I made the biggest improvement in is my blogs because now when I do my blogs I now involve photos and detail. I hope that my blogs improve in time because my blogs will then hopefully be developed and my blogs will have been longer. I think that my blogs could improve still because sometimes I forget to comment on blogs and sometimes I do not reply to the comments that get posted on my blogs.

The most challenging part of this year was my first week of the class and I think this because the time management was very tough because at first we wouldn't get as much homework and then I get in and I get blogs, aow's, and vocabulary words. I think that it was tough however I am now adapted and now I am use to all of the work and now when we get extra work I can now adapt easier.

I think that the best piece of writing I made this year was probably my blog about how dreams can be crushed because I added multiple photos and it can relate to people. I think that the best part of the blog was because sometimes I get inspired form movies or books or just photos and it just inspires me to create material that helps relate to multiple people.

Of the books I've read this year my favorite book was the book called "Looking for Alaska" I liked this book because it is very realistic and it help shows how temptation can lead to disaster. I would recommend this book because it is pretty large and has a lot of detail. I did a blog on this book and if you would like you can check the blog out and also you can check out the book at a local library near you.

Next year some advice from me to a student next year is to always be flexible and always have time management. I think this because the homework she gives sometimes can be very tough and you have to be mindful because the homework can be tricky. I think that the people are very nice and the teacher is very kind and she understands but she expects high quality work so if you do your part she will do her part. Some of the fun things that we do in the class are like we have parties but thats only if you do your own work.

  2. Good blog Justin! I like how you color coded each paragraph for each different section, that's a really nice way of organizing everything. I also like how you said that the most challenging part was your first week of class since you weren't used to doing blogs, aows, and vocabulary tests.
