Quarter 1 Reflection Blog

 We have reached the end of 1st Quarter...can you believe it?! Now take a moment to reflect on what you have learned so far. Some questions to consider:

Where are you in your 40 Book Challenge? How have your blogs been progressing since August? What strategies have benefited you? What have you learned about the world? How have your research skills improved?

Make sure to include a topic sentence and supporting details that fully support your main idea.


          This school year has been moving quite fast, I barely found out that the quarter is close to an end. I'm really proud of what I've accomplished throughout this quarter. For example, In my 40 book challenge I think I am doing pretty well overall. I've read 5 books already which is decently good in my eyes because I'm someone who doesn't read too often. I have stood in fiction genres for quite some time now but I am gradually reading non-fiction genres like, A Child Called "It" and Of Beetles and Angels. These really make me inspired to read more non-fiction books about peoples lives, or just an auto-biography or a biography. 

           In my blogs I believe that I've shown improvement. I say this because I am actually revising as I read and have found a liking to it. Not only does it really help me academically but it helps me to understand my errors and learn from them. If I ddn't learn from my mistakes I wouldn't be as affective as a writer. The writting I would be conveying wouldn't have sense to it or have reason. I'm proud of what I've accomplished in this section especially, the writing portion. Without revising I wouldn't be able to hand in great quality work and have a big impact in my life. I'm going to sum this up by saying I believe that revising is a helpful tool in writing and It'll help in the long run. 

           From the beginning of the school year up till now I have learned so much about current events and things happening around the world. I never would've known about any of this if it wasn't for this class. I mean I could know about but I wouldn't be able to interpret the current event or say anything about. I like that we have to research about it and learn as much as we can about. This has improved my reseaching skills in a large portion. I now know that skimming isn't such a great technique. Every single detail matters in an article and if you miss one part you can be lost in the article. I hope from here on out now that my researching skills are more effective I can now be able to incorporate the information I discover into a great AOW.
