Final Week

1) “Most Beautiful Work Award” - Which piece of writing (formal or informal) are you most proud of and why? What other skill or habit have you developed (maybe as a reader?) that you are proud of?

My favorite peice of work I did this semester was the Tragedy Project. Im very proud of that because I was able to find my own definition of what a true tragedy is. Over the semester I have become a better writer. I never knew I could write as much as I did this first semester.

2) “Lesson Learned” - What content do you feel you have mastered? Or, which skill(s) did you enjoy learning and feel that you have had some success in developing? How so?

The content that I really mastered was my project for my final. I have become a perfesional in the genre of science fiction. The skills I really enjoed learning was finding information on why people like science fiction. This was a major success becuase I really had a very good understaning of the topic and I passed my final.

3) “Lessons I’d Like to Learn” - Which skills would you like to develop before graduation? What content do you feel that you need to know in order to feel ready for college? Do you have any project ideas?
In your final blog post, I would like you to focus on this class. Please address the following questions so that I know how best to guide you and your classmates in your final semester:

I would still like to become a better writer. I think I could still use lots of practice. But I think I have grown this semester. I really think what I have learned this smemster in English will help me in college. I have grown so much this semester.

WINTER BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

December 10, 2010

This weekend in English class we have been focusing the most on our final. Our final is on are three books that we read this semester and present what we learned from the readings. Meaning we now need to answer the essential question we came up with. Also this weekend, on Wednesday Jackie and I presented our grammar chart to teach the other students how to use a comma in the right place. That is what we did for this weekend in English class. Now I just need to practice on my presentation for readings.

This weekend we really focused on two things. For are first thing our teacher assigned a partner and I do take a Grammar poster. She wanted us to make this so we can teach students how to use the correct form of usage. For example Jackie and I decided to focus on knowing when to use commas for the right time. So fare her and I are making good progress on our Gramar Poster.

Also I have been working on my final for my English class. For the first part of my reading project I had to annotate my two first books. The two first books I read where Maximum Ride By James Patterson and The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells.We had to give a summary of what the book was about and write about what we liked and did not like about the book. Now I have to find 3 online sources that will aswers my esential question for my topic. I have not started yet but need to.

For my book of choice I have been reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. This is a very good sci-fi book. This book really engaged me really quickly. This is about a boy named Ender who is very brilliant. He is not liked by lots of people because he is different. The government wants him to become a star-fighter piliot and wants him to go to school to become one. He wants to but he has to leave his parents because the school is on a starship in outerspace. He is in school learning how to become a piliot. From reading this book this book really reminded me of the movie Star Trek because the theme of Star Trek really follow the same theme from my book. This is what I have been doing for this week. :D
