Q1 Debrief

I thought quarter one was a nice quarter to start my first year of high school. I was nice because we got to meet new people and try new things with the added freedom, but also the added responsibility. I thought I did pretty good in this class, I know I can do better though. I hope I can apply what I learned so far this year, in all my classes, and have an even better second quarter. I learned many new things in this class. I learned how toi expand my idea's and created better and bolder theisis statements. I also learned how to cite things in different ways than I have before. I cannot wait to learn more tools to writing and analyzing. I am still struggling alittle in my use of quotes in my essays. I think that I need to choose some better quotes or explain them further.
I think that the class enviroment is pretty good, but it can be better. There are some people who are disrupting our learning during the class. I think that I can help by telling them to stop and remind them not to act rude before they do. I can also do other things to help the learning of my classmates. I will contiue to express my idea's in class discusions and I will help them when they have questions or need help. This should help the learning enviroment expand and get better.
I have many goals for quater 2. They can all be summed up with one word: imporvement. Although I am pleased with my grades for this quarter, I know I can do better and I plan on doing that. I hope that I will be able to look back at quarter two and say, "Mission Accomplished." I cannot wait to get rolling again, and I hope my hard work that I will put in quarter two will pay off.

Well said. I really agree with what you said about "the added freedom, but also the added responsibility". This quarter has shown me the responsibility of school, getting my books read and essays done but has also shown me the freedom that is involved this year in English class, not having to turn in new homework every day.
I think that you have done a good job this quarter.
p.s. I bad with quotes too.

I think you've put in a strong effort this quarter and it will pay off the rest of the year!
