Dear Ms.Langley,
These six weeks for me as an english were honestly a little stressful. My technology and workload was a struggle but I would say that I pulled it off. I worked around my technology failing by communication and my workload by breaking everything down and working on each assignment one at a time. I believe I earned a 95, I could have done better and that’s my fault but nonetheless I worked hard and went out of my comfort zone to try something new and I know I earned a solid 95. For me as a reader I generally reach for the same books, I have trouble with reading new ones because I don’t like not knowing everything. For my reading habits I generally try to read about 15 minutes a day and try to read about 3-4 times a week but sometimes I’ll get super into a book and I’ll read for way longer. This six weeks I chose to start the Harry Potter series, I finished the first and started the second. I would consider starting something I’ve never read before a victory but also a failure because I have seen the movies and know the general gist of the plot but I’m proud of changing it up. For me as a writer I love to write poems generally because I write my own songs but that’s just for fun. My writing habits are normally based around emotion, I write in a journal everyday but my poems/ songs are very emotion driven, I honestly do more editing on a poem/song then writing because when I start to write it all comes out. Writing in english is fun because you give us a new piece of writing and I like to read them because you get to understand the author’s tone and the underlying message. You can also learn more about different ways of writing. I would say a writing victory would be that I’ve been exposed to more and different pieces of writing. One way my learning reflects my growth in my goals I set for myself would be switching up what I read and the genre I normally lean on so that I tried something new. One way my learning reflects how I demonstrated original thinking on compex ideas would be my assertion, (https://lavidademakayaphotography.photo.blog/ap-lang/) we had to take someone else’s complex idea and form our own complex opinions and dissect their piece of work. For how I’m doing with my new habits and routine it’s been a struggle to set a good one but I’m working on it so I can be my best self and student this year. As for responsibility as a student I definitely need to work harder but I’m doing my best so I’ll just have to improve that. Reflecting on myself as a student I know I have some things to start doing and some I need to do better and improve. Next six weeks I want to establish my routine better and work on my study habits and english specifically. I want to make sure I’m more engaged. I will make this happen by sticking to my routine as a student, working on my study habits and that will result in me being more engaged in my classes. For me as a student I struggle a lot with deadlines and being on time but my grades are really important to me so I try my best to do the best I can.
Thanks so much,
