I’m happy with how I’m doing.

What class activities or assignments help you learn the most? Explain.

Im think videos help me learn better than something like just doing a worksheet. I think that it is also easier to pay attention because it is different and overall more entertaining. I also think that it is just better because it can show an image of what happens and it makes it easier to think about.

If you could do one of our projects over this year (ex. Humanness,Outline on Economics of Africa) what would you do differently? Explain.

I would pick the Humanness project. I would pick this because I feel that I could have done more things better in that project. One of the things I feel that I could do better in is vocab, I think I didn’t use enough vocab and if I did I think it would just sound better. Next, I think I could have spent more of the time actually putting down what I had in mind instead of worrying if its the best thing I ever made, and that would have saved me some time.

Reflect on your thinking, learning, and work so far this year. What were you most proud of? Explain in detail.

I'm happy about getting into advanced roots. I have never been in any class higher than a normal one so it was pretty big deal at first but not so much any more. Plus, my parent were happy.

Is there one thing you wish to improve before the end of 7th Grade? Explain.

I want to be more consistent. I want to get better grades more often and in more classes. I also feel that it is a hard thing to do and that it might not happen.
