WWW: When I was in class I paid attention and asked the right questions about were commas have to be placed so that I would be ready to do the quiz.

EBI: I should have looked over the notes I made in class about where commas should be placed so that I could be ready for the quiz.

Next Steps: I will continue to keep asking for help at school so I can improve my writing. I will also keep looking for the fanboys in my writing so that my work looks complete when I hand it in. I will continue to use Grammarly all the time so that I am catching all the commas.

Artifact #2: Opinion Piece Pets should't be allowed in schools.

# data[].attributes.body
WWW: I always asked for help. My sub-arguments were strong for what my topic was about, and that made my piece of work sound great when read. For example, my topic was about pets shouldn't be allowed in school, so one of my sub-arguments was animals in the class can be a distraction, so pets shouldn't be allowed in schools. This was an overall hard piece of work, but I worked through it to get good results. I had gotten lots of comment on this piece of work, and feedback so I could make it better, and used class time to make those changes, so it was a lot better when I handed it in.

EBI: Would of been better if it was easier for me to understand everything that my teacher was telling me todo. It was not also easy for me to come up with examples that related to my sub-arguments. I could have used more commas, and put them in the right places. When I did this assignment in class I used all of the time that was given to me. Also used the outline that was given to me, and followed everything on it. When I was working on this, my teacher helped me along the way, and that helped me get to my point of not being stressed , and that made me pleased with how well it went when  I  did this assignment.

Next Step:  I will continue to ask more questions to my teachers about where commas should be placed, and when I am reading books I will be looking at the way the writing style is so I can learn from those pieces of work. Also, this assignment was one I was proud of because I was not stressed the whole time and I am going to look at the way I did this, and remember to keep working at things that are hard for me to do and not give up.

Artifact #3: Movie Review "The Imitation Game"

(corrected artifact)

WWW:  My summary had lots of good details in it, and ideas of what the plot of the movie was about. One thing that I did extremely well on was my summarily were I was talking about the film but not giving away the ending. I talked about the characters and gave lots of details about who they are, and the roles they play in the movie.

EBI:  It was hard for me to find some of the information that I wanted to put into the movie review when I was talking about the movie review teams, and trying to connect some of the plot with the terms  I was given. I would have struggled less on this if the terms made more sense to me and I had been able to see them beforehand in a movie.

Next Steps: I am going to keep a list of the terms and what they mean with me when I watch movies next time, so I can watch a video, and see if I can better understand some of them as the film is going on.  I will also ask questions to others when I do not know terms from the film to better understand what I am watching.

WWW:  I understood what all the parts of a plot diagram are, and how that connects to what I was viewing. I was able to tell my teacher what the parts are from the rising action to the falling action, and all in between when I watched a short film in class.

EBI: I found it hard to connect the videos to the plot diagram, and it would have been better if I was able to have more time to look over and see if I could understand the videos more.

Next Steps: I will watch more videos, and while I am watching them go slower, and see at parts of the videos if one of the pieces in the movie can fit on the diagram.

WWW: I was able to answer questions my teacher had, and I was always saying something in the discussion about the book.
I had good ideas about what happened in the book and got other talking about it.

EBI: If I could have found a quote that would have been good to talk about and everyone would have liked it. It would have gone better.   I did not feel like I had time to come up with my thoughts when talking with the group and was saying what even popped into my head.If I were giving more time to come up with a list of questions, I would have been more prepared. I would have had better clearer thoughts about what I was talking about if it was a slower discussion.

Next Steps: I am going to keep talking when I have class discussions, and then this will help me to start being able to come up with though faster. When I do have though I write them down so that I don't forget what it is for when it's my turn to talk.

WWW: I knew right away who I wanted to do my Biography on. I also found it easy to get information on Mother Teresa. Filling out the brainstorming sheet for me was easy, and I did well-getting information that could go on my slides about her life.

EBI: I was having a bad week when I was working on putting together the sides with the information, so I struggled to have them done on time.
I should have asked for more help with putting the pieces of information on my sides.  Would have been better if I kept a positive attitude while in class working on my presentation.

Next Steps: I am going to improve my attitude when working on sides show for any classes that I am in. When I do this again, I am going to remember that all teacher around me want me to do well and are here for me to help me succeed and that everything will work out if I stress less.

Artifact #6 Literary Circle (Students comments)

# data[].attributes.body
WWW: I noticed that throughout the three  months I have improved quite a lot with my literacy skills.  My writing has changed a lot that I am not able to catch my own mistakes that I make.  I was able to follow my role in the circle and add on to what other wearing saying about the book, and especially the ending, and I had a lot to say about that.

EBI: If I was able to have more breaks from listing to the story being read. I would of understood some of the parts of the story better if I could of looked over the book more before going and talking about it.

Next Steps: I am going to try and work around some of my struggles of talking about a book with a class, by going home after a day of reading the book and taking my time to look over it so I can understand it for the next day. This will help me so that I will be able to talk about it with lots of knowledge.   I am going to ask that I can read the book on my own so that I can have more breaks and this will help me do better when I have to write about the novel.

WWW: I did this assignment back in October, and I  don't remember what I had done well on it because it was so long ago. What I can remember is that I was able to follow the format well, and was able to follow the newspaper template that I was asked to do it on and handed it in on time.

EBI: Would have been even better if I had known what words went in the quotation marks when someone was speaking, and did not have to ask every time. Would of been better to have had more time to do this assignment in class, so I did not have to rush throw it.

Next steps: This was the first big assignment that I did in this courses how to write a newspaper article and then wrote my own newspaper. Once I started learning more thing in this course, I learned different thing that could of helped me like where should the quotations marks be when someone is talking. Overall what I need to do to improve what I am struggling with to make my work better is looking at other newspaper see how those are written and go back to my work, and see how to make it better.

WWW: what went well for me was that I used class time to max out the time I had to do this paragraph. I was able to give good details on why she was not justified for her actions. I asked for help on finishing and how It should be written.

EBI: I would like to have had more class time to think about what I did agree with and what I did not agree with.
If I had not forgotten to indent my paragraph and look for all my fanboys, it would have been written better.

Next Steps: I am going to remember that not all the time in life you will have lots of extra time to do things, and I will take the time I am given. I will work at editing my work, and will not rush it. This will help me not miss the most the crucial things that need to be in my paragraphs like my indent and fanboys.
will continue to use to use Grammarly

WWW: I understood the concept of writing a piece of dialogue. Knew to always use different words when someone was talking and made sure what the person was saying was staying inside the quotation marks.

EBI: I did not know that I kept changing from present tense to past tense in my dialogue with the words I was using.

Next Steps: To understand what percent tense and past tense verbs are, and how to use them. My steps to learning that will be me asking more questions to my teachers. I will continue to do my own learning on this so I will be able to use it in my writing everyday.
