Quarter 2 Reflections

-


         In what area do you think you have made your biggest improvements in ELA?

         Over Quarter 2, I greatly improved in my writing skills. I practically use TIQA format in all my paragraphs now. Having to write analysis' and an essay has heavily impacted my improvement. I learned how to write a thesis statement, a hook sentence, and a conclusion. These are all skills I will use in the future for ELA.

  What has been the most challenging part of second quarter for you and what can you do to help overcome this?

        I think the most challenging part of the second quarter for me was my schoolwork. I constantly had work to do, and I just barely managed to stay on time. I had to keep up with my schoolwork from Morton, which wasn’t easy since we had to study for finals as well. Overall, I think I can improve this by sorting my priorities and doing my work as soon as I get home. I feel like this will make it a lot easier for me to finish work faster.

What strategies have benefited you?

            Some strategies that have helped benefit me is thinking about what I am going to do when I get home. A lot of times when I am in class, and time feels like it’s slowing down, I think about the upcoming break, or just going home. It helps me stay relaxed and gets me though my day faster. I’ve
also started writing down homework, or work due in the upcoming days. It helps me stay organized
and let’s me know what I have to get done.

I commented on Anwar's blog, Hassan's blog, and Yolihuani's blog.

    The paragraphs are well written. You explain what, for example, has helped you. In your case it was writing down all of the work you have to do and how it helps you. You support what you say with what it helps you with which is being more organized.

    Well written, maybe add a little more detail. Feels like it’s not in tiqa format and looks short. The paragraphs were well answered and understandable.

          Recently, I began reading about D-Day and the preparation for it. The United States and Great Britain prepared heavily for the battle. They planned it a whole two years before it actually happened!  D-Day was a massive changing point in the war, as it would be the start of the end of World War Two. “By June 3, troops piled into waiting ships set to land at Normandy on the fifth. All systems were go. Then a terrible storm brought everything to a screeching halt.” This storm brought concern to General Eisenhower as he didn’t know whether or not to send the troops. After thinking about it, he decided to attack. That’s all I’ve read so far.          Something I found interesting was from a passage in a chapter three. The passage was about fooling Hitler using tricks. “German spy planes flying overhead saw hundreds of tanks that seemed made of steel. But really, they were made of rubber, blown up like giant balloons! Sounds of clanking tanks blared from recordings. Even the t

How do Georg's experiences during the Holocaust change him as a person?      During the Holocaust, Georg experiences many events and situations which change him throughout the war. Georg was a young, Jewish man. He lived in Vienna, Austria, and when it was taken over by the Germans, he was drafted into the war. “Regardless of where I might turn up in my civilian clothes, as an obviously healthy young man I would immediately be asked for my papers.” Georg started the war in perfect condition. He was healthy, fit, and ready for war! There is even a picture of him!            Throughout the war Georg experiences many events which lead to massive physical changes for him. Georg experiences many illnesses and sicknesses. He was starved, had diarrhea, suffered from shingles, and had dysentery, to name a few. In one of his letters to his mother he states, “For the last five days I’ve had a fever that was constantly between thirty-eight and forty. In addition I had terribl
