WICOR in Action: Reflection and Growth by

Sample Response: At the beginning of the semester, my notebook was a total mess. Papers shoved in randomly, notes scattered, and I could never find anything. I'd miss assignments because I lost the handouts, and studying for tests was a nightmare. I started using a binder with dividers for each subject, and that's helped a little. I also tried to use a planner to keep track of deadlines, but I'm not always consistent about writing everything down.

For example, when we did the research project on the Civil War, I initially lost some of my research notes. Then I found them, but they weren't organized by topic, so I wasted a lot of time trying to piece everything together. This led to a lower grade on the first draft of the project. One specific area I need to improve is consistently using my planner and digital tools. I plan to set aside five minutes at the end of each class period to write down assignments and deadlines in my planner. I will also set daily reminders on my phone to check my planner. To measure if this is working, I will track the number of assignments I submit on time and compare it to previous weeks. I will also ask my teacher for feedback on my organizational skills during our next conference.

Throughout the whole school year, I've become more aware of the importance of asking questions and looking for deeper understanding, but I haven't fully used inquiry into my learning process. Initially, I accept information at value, without challenges or looking for alternative perspectives. For example, during science class, I relied Mostly on the textbook's interpretation without considering other viewpoints or sources.

I use writing every day in all class

This quarter, I have focused on my organization skills. I would rate my use of it as a 3 or 4. I chose that rating because I think I keep most of my school work and notes organized but sometimes my stuff can get messy. For example, in World Culture, I didn't have my notebook, so I wrote the notes on paper and put them in my binder under my World Culture section. After class, I added the notes into my notebook. Even though I didn't have the notebook earlier, I still took notes and participated in class. To implement more organization in the future, I can make sure I am prepared for class with all of my materials.

At the begining of the year, my binder was horendous. It was a nightmare to turn in homework assignment, I couldn't find a thing. Even worse, my classmates were sick of me asking for pencils and notebook paper.

Then, AVID came by, i learned to keep mmy binder clean and organized. I leanred to have pencils, notebook paper, color pencils, and binder cleanliness. My papers weren't scattered, i was turning in my homework on time, the papers were straight and clean, and i could study my notes cleanly.

My classmates were the ones asking me for paper and pencils now.

My keys to success were.

Getting 100 percent on all my binder checks
Labeling my binder.
Labeling every subject.
Labeling loose papers.
Labeling homework.

I have always known how to write. Nothing has enhanced my learning. I use writing everyday especially in reading. One wicor strat I focused on in this year is Collaboration. I like working together with my classmates, as it is a faster process for all of us. I am not sure of what Wicor strategies I can develop in.

At the beginning of the quarter I was very unorganized and was not keeping track of my grades. I did not know how to keep all my stuff in order and I was all messy and disorganized. That was until I did AVID which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. We started doing binder checks and grade checks so it was helping me to be more organized.

In the 1st quarter my my binder was not as organization as I wanted it. All my assigments at together in one section.

I didn't lablel any of my things and I was very confused on what assigments were for which class. But when I started Avid,

Which taught me how to keep my things organizaed and lableling things.
