Last quarter was the first time I took a geography class, and I have never really been good with atlases before then. Since taking geography with Mr J, I believe I can find cities and countries easier, as well as label maps with rivers, cities, and compass roses. I also know how to find new quantities and values of lots of things in science, like mass and volume and density, using water.
What challenges did I face?
The biggest challenge I had was note taking. On most projects, I don't take any notes, and when I do, they are extremely low quality and I don't take them willingly. In Humanities, we were assigned an argumentative essay about what democracies were supposed to focus on: general welfare or individual needs. In this class, I only took one section of notes, and it was the quotes from the giver. I also didn't do the pre-writing and made the outline after I had already written the first paragraph. I find it annoying, difficult, and inconvenient to take notes, because usually, I would just write my facts right into the text. Also, while reading an online article, it is irritating to have to switch tabs to you tones document to write something down. However, it helps organize thoughts and ideas to write down what you've learned so you can get to them quickly later. I also had some challenges in orchestra, which can be read here.
Goals
Next quarter is the last quarter of this year, and I need to guarantee the best grade possible for me, because this quarter I know my overall grade in many classes will be a 4 due to recent assignments. I think that in order for this to happen, I need to follow the instructions that the teachers give me, and try not to take any shortcuts like not taking notes or skipping pre-writing. I should also focus more in class and pay attention to ways that I can make my work better.
