8th grade first quarter reflectionIn my 40 book challenge I think I am doing pretty well so far I have read 5 books. Most of the books that I read are mainly realistic fiction. Some books that I'm excited to read this year are To kill a Mockingbird and also Allegant. I think that I am personally doing good for the start of the year. Of course I will still have to read over winter break but I hope to get at least two books done over that time.
I think that my blogs are slowly getting better but I don't think I've made a huge improvement from the beginning of the year. I think this because I still use some of the same words that I used however I hope that later on throughout the year that I start to incorporate some of the vocabulary that I will learn. I personally think that my writing is pretty good and I am personally proud of that. I believe that made a huge growth from last year to this year so I hope to do so this year.
Some strategies that have helped me is studying a lot. I study my vocab starting on Wednesday every week and study everyday for atleast about a 20 minutes. I feel like this has helped me because I have been receiving for my vocab mostly four's. I've only gotten one three and I think that it was because I was off a point or two but I do think that my strategy has worked. Another strategy that I use is using quizlet to study. This personally has helped me memorize words and it works better in my opinion then just looking at your words.
One of the main things I learned about the world is about the Syrian refugee crisis. I think that this is important because people are risking about their lives to just have a new start. Lots of people have died trying to seek refuge and doing so isn't east. People will do about almost anything to have a new start and I found this very powerful because it shows us how easy we have it. I personally think that it's sad how people are being deprieved their life because of war and I think that this is wrong.
I think that my research skills have improved a bit. I believe this because now I check multiple websites to see if the information that I am gathering is not only relevant but also is reliable. I think that my skills in researching have also improved because now I synthesize what I've learned and then soon start to transform that into my body paragraphs. I think that my work has improved a bit and I am proud of where I am now versus where I was a year ago. In conclusion I feel like I have not only grown academically and as a person
