Apt Pupil
The Writing Process
Writing the novel study was easy for me because I enjoyed the book. Sometimes I had trouble finding the quote I was looking for. I overcame this by remembering the general time the quote was said and went back and read for it. I enjoyed talking about the story. I did not enjoy finding the quotes to support my statements.
Core Competency Reflection
- My strategy for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include searching the general time in the story the quote was said and rereading that section to find it.
- I compiled and synthesized information to draw reasonable conclusions when I summarized my novel review to do the presentation for the class. I didn’t just read my novel review to the class I summarized it to make it more interesting.
- I am willing to explore controversial issues such as the evil in people (which this book was about), in order to work toward change in myself and the world.
- My goal is to work with criteria to improve my work because sometimes I do what I think the instructions are and my work would be better if I focused on the criteria that is given. I will read the criteria before I begin to work.
