My Work
My work this quarter has definitely taken a lot of effort. I also think that the quality of my work was very high, but lacked a lot of detail. Another thing I did when submitting my work was that I wasn't going over the rubric. When I did my hero's journey reflection, I didn't include quotes from The Princess Bride. When I did follow the rubric, I got good grades. When I was making my branding plan, I went over the rubric and made sure I had everything I needed. In the end, I ended up getting an A. I think that next quarter if I follow the rubric properly, then I can do better than I did this quarter.
Success!
My greatest success in class this quarter has been my branding plan. I think that was my greatest success because it was one of the highest grades I had gotten on an assignment. I also think that I had gotten a good grade on the branding plan because I had started on it the day it was assigned and had several people go over it. Another reason why it was one of my greatest successes was because it was about me, and it's easy for everyone to talk about themselves. The branding plan assignment also had raised my grade in the class, which made me feel even more successful.
My Greatest Challenge
My greatest challenges this quarter were the discussions on the Princess Bride when I was absent. The discussions were usually very easy when I was there in person. I was allowed to type my thoughts into the computer and compare the different parts of the story with different students. After the discussion was over, everyone would grade each other on their participation. The first time I was absent I had to create a PowToon. The PowToon took me a long time to make because I was trying to include every detail in the story. After I created the PowToon, I had to write why I chose what I put in it. In my explanation I ended up only writing about the events in the story, not explaining it in detail. The second time I was absent, I had to make a ToonDoo, which only contains four slots. In those four slots I had to make four pictures which I thought were important in the story and then explain why I chose them. The challenge was not only choosing the right pictures that depicted the story, it was also describing the pictures thoroughly. When I explained what I chose, it was a good enough description for me, but I realized that it wouldn't help others understand what was going on in the story.
Room for Improvement
To improve myself and my work in English class I will try my best to be more detailed. Whenever I submit my work, one thing that always needs to be improved is the detail. An example of that is when I would do a make-up for The Princess Bride discussions. As I said in the paragraphs above, I would put in the pictures I thought were important in the ToonDoos, except I wouldn't explain why I chose them properly. If I ever miss another discussion, I know that I'll have be more thorough when explaining what I did. Next quarter, I will start working on my assignments earlier so that I can leave them for a while and then read over them. After I read over it, I will grade it myself with the rubric provided by the teacher and make others do so as well. I will ask various people what they think of my assignment and change whatever it is that needs to be fixed before I submit it.
