I am not proud of the mark I received on this assignment. I got 2/3 on the transitional phrases, 3/4 on the script, and 4/8 on the verbs. We did not put prefixes in front of the verbs, which was our biggest mistake. I have learned from my mistakes and will do better in my next assignment. Building off of mistakes is important instead of feeling bad and not making any progress.
I showed I can work with others to achieve a goal by creating a script in less than a class using only a picture and our imagination. We had to figure out who was going to play who and what they would say. This was very challenging and took teamwork and communication. During the skit we delivered our lines with emotion to sell the scene. We all had to agree to do our best acting when presenting the skit to the class.
It was difficult to be consistent when reading my book over spring break, as I wanted to relax and hangout with friends. I ended up rushing to finish this book once I realized spring break was coming to an end. It was easy for me to express how I felt about this book because I found it interesting and captivating. I most enjoyed the climax and denouement because it was unexpected and set up the next book. When Thalia was resurrected I was surprised and excited to read more.
Evidence that I can acquire information about complex and specialized topics from various sources, synthesize it, and present it with thoughtful analysis can be found in… My book response. I thought of the events that occurred in the book and showed how I interpreted them during my presentation.
I compile and synthesize information to draw reasoned conclusions, such as when… I was working on the themes and reflection of my book. I had to use information from the book to come up with a theme and justify it to the class. I also had to reflect on how I felt about the book.
I show others that I truly value their contributions by… respectively listening to everyone when they were presenting and clapping afterwards to show that I appreciate their bravery by presenting to the class. It is not easy presenting in front of 30 people, it shows courage.
I have valuable ideas to share about… and do so by… using my voice. I can sometimes find it difficult to express myself through speaking, it is hard to formulate a sentence that will properly show what I am thinking. I had to write down key notes on my story to be able to present in front of the class effectively.
I was able to work with someone on the black history timeline. We split up the work equally and got a decent mark on the timeline. This was easy to do because we weren’t actively discussing how we should do the timeline, we just put both of our work together to finish the assignment. I think it would be more difficult for me to work with someone if we both had to have input on the same things. I like to do things my way and I need to work on considering other people’s ideas.
