ENGLISH III

I didn't do great on this assignment because my login wasn't working. As a result of this I did not get the grade that I wanted. For the remainder of the year the login that I was given has not worked and I was not able to complete any assignments from The New York Times articles. I do believe that this error was not on my part as it has happened the whole entire year and with a couple of other students. I also do not blame it on the teacher but on the platform that I have to log into. to get a better grade on this I should have went to the teacher to get more help and to find a better way of completing the assignment that would resulted me in a better grade .

For this assignment we were given a list of certain words that were learned in class that went along with the lesson and were told to study them because we would later have a quiz. I studied the words that were given which resulted in me getting a hundred on the quiz. The words were an association with the book we were reading at the time and what we are learning about as far as rhetorical terms.To achieve a grade like this again I would most likely study the words that were given and make sure to pay attention to the material that was taught in class.

This would be considered my Globe because it is something that I have to do better on. We were tasked with reading a book named born a crime by Trevor Noah and over the course of the class we were supposed to read all the chapters but for each chapter have an explanation of what happened in the chapter. Questions were given and we were supposed to answer them. For multiple chapters chapter 1, 2, 3, 4 and all the way up to chapter 7 I failed to submit the assignment on time. Although the assignment was done at a later time I could have received a better grade on this by turning it in when it was initially due. 

This would be considered my growth because I definitely have some growing to do in terms of my time management. I have to work on what I tell myself as far as what I can get done in a timely manner. Along with this assignment being late I got lazy and uninterested in the book born a crime by Trevor Noah. This was not intentional but if I could find ways to re-interest myself in books that are mandatory for a school grade, I would need to do that. I think a strategy to help me get re interested in books as such would be to reread my favorite chapters which would be chapters 4 and 3 because they were the most funniest. To not get a grade like this again I would have to lock in with what I'm supposed to be doing and not let my brain psych me out that I can do it in a short amount of time especially when I am disinterested .

For this assignment I would consider it a glow because I was able to express myself fully and my learning experiences. I am a very creative person and this assignment allowed me to show how creative I could be. The task at hand was to find multiple learning experiences throughout your life and to pick them through pictures and words. I wrote of times when I was younger living with my mom and my brother and my grandmother's house on the top floor and this assignment brought back many wonderful memories of my childhood and how it has made me into the person I am today. For that reason I believe that it allowed me to unlock old memories and a part of me I thought I had long forgotten. This time allowed me to express myself in ways that I haven't been able to in a long time. not only am I thankful for the grade I got on the assignment before the assignment itself. 

I believe I did well on this assignment because I turned it in on time and because I was able to express how I truly felt about the situation. We were asked if we were to break rules and what rules we broke and if it was morally right to do so. I wrote that some rules are meant to be broken but at the same time that the people who break them are truly the one to create our future.I bought in arguments from other texts and from arguments from a movie script that we had watched in class. I believe that I did well on this assignment because these are things that I debate with myself on a regular basis, not on the same intensity as people who do crazy things and break crazy laws but morally I think about it for myself. this made me question things that I considered are right to do and are not. 

This assignment was the final draft of the  1619 project which was a very controversial book. I was supposed to read the book and express if we were to believe the book should be banned or for it to be kept and why I thought that way. I chose that the book should be kept and that people should be able to read it for basic reasons such as freedom of speech and our past is what makes us a country. If we are to deny our past, what kind of country does that make us?The reason I got anything other than 100 on this assignment was because I turned it in very late past the due date which is something that I have to achieve to fix for my senior year. I believe that if I was  to turn this assignment in on time and to follow the rubric to a tee that I would have received a better grade. If I had applied myself in the ways I know, I could I know I would have gotten a better grade.
