Final Reflection 5/18/15


            The three most important things I have learned in Mrs. Larson's class would be how to cite the sources I use, more sophisticated words, and how to correctly write a paragraph. When we had first started citing our sources I had little knowledge on it, but now I know how to cite them correctly. Our vocabulary tests this past year have made me increase my knowledge in more difficult words and even add them to my vocabulary. I want to say I used to not know how to write a paragraph. Like I knew it had to be three to four sentences but to be honest I didn't really understand the concept of a topic sentence and then supporting details after that, I know now however!

            Something that I will remember for the rest of my life would be our holiday parties. I say this because It was one day where we could either watch a movie, or just hang out and eat snacks. This class is like a mini family to me and it made it special that we could all just be together celebrating. I hope to always get good memories from those parties like when Jeremiah and the others ate sardine. 

            The nicest thing that someone in this class did for me would have to be when we would be about to take our vocabulary tests, we would quickly study together. I remembered the words either way but it was nice to have someone quiz you so you can have those words fresh in your brain. I would actually get better grades then I did before those little vocab reminder tests. 

            I feel like something I taught some of my other peers would be to do your time management. Many times me and some of my other peers would wait until the last minute at the beginning at the year. Now I've learned that I have to pace my homework, so that I wont be as frustrated. 

            I feel like one of my biggest improvements would be my reading skills. I think that I've done this because of reaching my goal of 25 books during the year. To me this is a big accomplishment and I'm very proud of it. Even if some may think this is a short amount. 

            I think that the most challenging part of this year would be keeping up with the homework. I would always get it done but sometimes I couldn't keep up and would get very frustrated. This is when I later learned that time management is key in this class. 

            One of the best piece's of writing that I have written would be the Death With Dignity paper. I think this because we took so much time looking for evidence and then converting that into our paragraphs which took a lot of effort. We had also put so much time into making those paragraphs perfect, by checking if they actually made sense. To checking spelling and punctuation inside of the essay. 

            I think that the my favorite book that I have read during this year would be The Maze Runner. I think this because I immediately liked the characters and how they where sort of close to our age so I could relate to them in that way. Another reason its my favorite is because I think that the overall story was very good and that when I was reading it I couldn't put it down. 

           To the future kids in Mrs. Larson's class, the most important advice that I will give to you is to manage your time. If you don't, you will get caught up with your homework like I had in the beginning on the year. Another thing I would tell you is to not goof around in her class. Mrs. Larson is a very nice teacher that's if you do something bad or goof off in her class. From one of her student's, I wish you a great year and good luck! :D
