Final report card post

   This year I have really enjoyed English class, I really like how english was taught to us. This has been the best class if english I have ever had. My self regulation in this class I think has been pretty good. In class I always use class time effectively. I use my time in class to get my work done, and in class I always stay on task. All of my assignments have been completed and on time. This year in english I arrive to class on time ready to learn and to do my work. I have never skipped a class and there was only a few days of class I missed and they were excused to being on vacation and being sick. When I am in class I always listen to the teacher and give a response so you can tell that I am listening. Even though we are allowed to have our technology out, I am never on the phone when the teacher is talking or when we are not supposed to. When we are working on our phones I always do my work so I can get it finished on time and to the best of my ability, I don't do other things on my phone. The reading assignment we had over the break, even though we didn't have to I still did read the book because it was a really good book and I wanted to see how it would end. For my self regulation mark in this class I think the appropriate mark would be 32/33.

   Analyzing and creative work in this class has been pretty good for me. After I have completed my assignment I will always double check it and edit it. For example my Romeo and Juliet essay on is their love real or lust, and Romeo and Juliet healthy and dysfunctional relationships. When ever I have done an assignment that something's have come from someone's else's point of view or website I will always cite it because you need to give them credit for their work. After watching the video's of how to write a formal and informal essay on the website and after our first five paragraph essay I completely know the difference now and when you need to use any of those two in a essay an example for that would also be my Romeo and Juliet essay is their love for each other love or lust. Making connections to yourself and literature is very important. In this class when we we had to make a self connection to our writing I tried my best to make a connection to myself. An example of self connections would be our essay on being a teenager and a connection to literature is our news story assignment.

I know all my literary terms that I am supposed to know and can identify them in writing. With our character study on Romeo and Juliet class, I have finished all my assignments for that unit and  have edited all those assignments. An example for this would be the soliloquy we chose to do from the play. An example for creativity put into an assignment would be the story I made called The Mistake.

When we have had the opportunity to put creativity in my work I have always tried my best to be creative. In this pillar of our mark I think I would deserve about 30/33, I think that would be an appropriate mark for analyzing/creative work.

      My contribution to learning, self and others in this class has been really good in this class. I have commented on a lot of peoples work and assignments to give them feedback and what I think of what they've done. I have also done the literary terms that we were supposed to do so other people in the class can benefit from it. My contribution to myself is I do the research we are supposed to do to understand and do what we are working on, also I finished the book when it wasn't manditory because it was a good story. I have also gone back and reread and edited my work that I needed to. In class I will also participate in the discussion we are having with the people at our table and discussions we are having with the class. For my class contribution mark I think I would deserve 31/30, I think that would be the appropriate mark for this pillar.

     The three PLO'S I chose for me is A1 Interact and collaborate in pairs and groups, C14 Use conventions in writing and representing appropriate to purpose audience, to enchants meaning and artistry, anf B3 view, both collaboratively and independently, to comprehend  a variety if visual texts. For the PLO A1 I collaborate with people at my table and the person beside me to talk about what we each think and come up with an idea together, also we gain insight to other perspectives when we talk as a group and say what we think. In class I always collaborate with the people at my table to have a discussion on what we were learning or doing in class. For PLO C14 use conventions in writing and representing appropriate to purpose audience, to enchance meaning and artistry, in my writing I use proper punctuation when needed and have proper grammar usuage. I also capitalize letters when they require a capital and I cite work that has come from someone else. The third PLO I chose was B3 view both collaboratively and independently, to comprehend a variety of visual texts, for example is the poems we did in class and what we each thought what it meant and talked about it together as a class afterwards. When we read Romeo and Juliet we read together as a class and researched words we didn't know and went through words and lines we didn't understand. The three songs we chose on the topic if pressure we each picked an article we thought connected to a song the song out of the three of our choice. We talked about the connections we made to the song and the articles we chose for the theme of pressure.

  I'm English class this semester overall I think I deserve about 93/99 which is the three pillars all added up which would be about 94 percent. I have really enjoyed English class this semester, I think it's a great way to do English through technology. I think all English teachers should teach like this. This is the best English class I have had, it's been a great semester for English in this class!
