3rd Quarter Reflection Blog

- In what area do you think you made your biggest improvements in English Language Arts? 
- What is something you have accomplished this quarter that you are proud of?
-What has been the most challenging part of 3rd Quarter for you and what did/can you do to help overcome this?

        The area I think I improved the most in my ELA class is in my arguementive writing technics. I've learned how to organize my research so that when i actually have to write my paper it's way easier. After I have conducted all of my research I then know I have to put my essay in TIQA format. My first sentence includes the claim made for that particular paragraph. Then the second sentence I state  where, when, and who the quote or information came from. The final sentence is the analysis, basically how this quote helps out my argumentative claim. I feel more confident in argumentative writing, TIQA format, and organization. 

        Something I have accomplished that I am proud of is my butterfly project. I thought I did really good on analyzing, the actual butterfly, and the meaning of each and every piece I put on the butterfly. My favorite part on the butterfly was how I explained the difference of both the sides. The positive and negative side. The positve was very colorful, it represented how life used to be before the Holocaus. The negative side was dark and gloomy, which represented life in the camps. I thought that showed a lot of the poem I was given since there was some good and some bad in the situation. 

        The most challenging part of the 3rd quarter for me was keeping my reading on track. For some, point in this quarter I wasn't reading. Which led to me doing poorly in the MAP testing and even entrance exams. On my entrance exams I did an amazing job on my math, but my reading was not as high. To fix this all I need to do is read. I just have to make sure I read a little everyday so that I don't fall behind this year and next year.
