Goal Adjustment

Updated Goals from Semester 1

link to original semester 1 goals

Goal 1. I was able to get a GPA over 90% but I couldn't get full scores on all my essays, though most of them were marked with fulled scores.

Goal 2. Through essay-writing and reading TMOV I was able to improve my use of words and furthermore increase my use of vocabulary. I'd say my grammar is decent but I still need improvement when it comes to sentence transformation and stress patterns. My text analysis also improved after reading Shakespearean language.

Goal 3. Because I love ELA so much, I usually feel very motivated and thrived to learn a new lesson with Mr. Jordan, which also brings me to do more work and procastinate less. Completed goal but you can always take time to be an even more efficient person!

So far, I have made significant progress in ELA, achieving many of the goals I set for myself.

One of my biggest accomplishments has been maintaining a GPA above 90%. While I wasn’t able to achieve full marks on every essay, most of them received maximum scores, which reflects my strong writing skills. To improve further, I can focus on analyzing feedback more carefully and refining the specific areas where points were deducted.

My language skills have also developed through essay writing and reading The Merchant of Venice. My vocabulary and word usage have improved, and my text analysis skills have strengthened as I navigated Shakespearean language. However, I still need to work on sentence transformation and stress patterns. To address this, I can practice rewriting sentences in multiple ways and listen to native speakers to develop a better sense of intonation and rhythm in speech.

Another key achievement has been my motivation and work ethic. My love for ELA keeps me engaged, and learning with Mr. Jordan has made lessons even more enjoyable. This has helped me reduce procrastination and complete more work. However, I can always strive to be more efficient by managing my time better, setting structured study plans, and breaking assignments into smaller, manageable steps.
