Reflections

  • Which in class writing was your favorite? Why? My favorite writing in class would probably the  The one were we watched the film about the agent and the pigeon was fun too!
  • Which in class writing was your least favorite? Why? "This I Believe" Essay although it was fun to really think about what I truly believe in and my values in life I didn't really like how we had to share them to everyone cause I think some were kind of personal but I guess it was cool to see other peoples views as well.
  • Review all your writing chronologically (earliest to latest). List three interesting observations or changes in your writing. Which are the most profound (obvious and important)? Why? Three observations I've noticed in my writing would be first the structure of my papers and being organized more on what I'm saying, also to just keep writing when you feel like you have nothing to say because it will all come together, and to realize what parts I need to focus on more and the ones I need to less.
  • If you could change anything about your writing this semester what would it be? Why? If I could change anything it would probably be to change the way I look at the essay I'm given so I can have more to say I feel it's kind of hard for me to really get into them.
  • What did you like best about this course? I like that we focused a lot on the writing portion of English and we did a lot of exercises to further help and benefit us in our writings like for example when we had to take the writing and we wrote it over two or three times and the final one ended up being so much better than what we started out with.
  • What did you like least about this course? The thing I liked the least would probably be how there was a lot of group work, I wish we would have had more individual work to do I feel like I can do better that way in my writings. With that being said I still enjoyed the class a lot and I wish I had more English classes to take because I enjoy them or your class anyways.
  • What would you have done differently this semester if you could have a do-over? I would have tried harder on my papers I guess, I don't think there's really anything specifically I would want to have a do over on.
  • What did learn about yourself as a student, a thinker, a writer this semester? That I can do a lot better when I just focus and keep writing even if it isn't exactly what I want to say, you can always change stuff around later on.
  • What could I, Ms. A., have done differently to improve the course? Maybe one or two more individual based assignments but the course overall was the best English I have ever taken you make it so much more interesting and enjoyable I feel like I actually like English now!!
  • You begin this course with an engagement and participation score of an A.  Attendance, participation in activities and group work help you to maintain this grade.  Evaluate yourself and assign yourself a grade for the in class portion of this course.  Don’t forget the reasoning behind your self assigned grade. I think overall I did pretty well in contributing and doing each part of the class. I think I would deserve a A or B I've never gotten a A since high school though so not really counting on that one. But I do feel I tried to equally do each one to the best of my ability. And even though all like ten of us didn't actually go up there  in our group presentation we all had a specific role to research and do and I think we all put a pretty good amount of effort into it. I hope that I do get a good grade though because I feel I've done my best in everything asked of me.
