Six Week Reflection

Please do a reflection on your learning in English class over the first six weeks of the semester by answering the following questions on your personal blog:

1. When you look back on this first six weeks in English class, are your thoughts positive or negative? Why?
2. What went well for you in English class over the past six weeks?
3. What was your favorite thing we did in class over the past six weeks? What was your least favorite?
4. What grade would you give yourself for the “Study Skills” category (which includes the following) and why?
 Be on time to class
 Use the student calendar
 Bring materials to class
 Stay on task during class activities
 Support a positive learning environment
 Go the distance (keep working until the end of class)
5. What would make English class better for you during the next six weeks?

1. My thoughts on the first 6 weeks are that school is starting and that is kinda unfortunate but a relief that I have something to do.

2.
ost everything went well over the last 6 weeks in English.

3. My favorite thing in English class was the something ols, something new essay. My least favorite was Farenheit 451.

4. I would give myself an A- because I am on time, I used my student calendar, I bring my materials, I am on task, and go the distance.

5. Being a more friendly enviornment would be better and if someone would actually talk to me. (I know that you can't help that)

1.My thoughts are definately positive because of the wide range of disscussions and that I could participate in this class and expect a great response to what I say.

2.The thing that went really well for me is the fishbowl disscusions. Its a really fun way to disscus a book.

3. My all around favorite thing (very descriptive) is the SOSN essay because I got to write an entire essay on Star Wars!!!! My least favorite aspect of the last six weeks are the Mugshots. I really don't like correcting sentences.

4.I would have to give myself a B+ because although I am doing great on most things, I have trouble bringing all the required materials. Also I do other things during the class that make it seem like I'm off task but I'm not (still kinda rude though).

5.I can't think of any major thing to change, sharing thoughts in small groups is always a challenge (people not doing the work, including me) but other than that its been a productive 6 weeks (very formal, ha!).
