In term 1 we have read the Hunger Games Catching Fire and we learned new vocabulary words.  We have also been learning about story elements.  An example of a story element is conflict. A conflict is a force between two characters. In a story you can have internal and external conflicts. An internal conflict is when a character has a conflict with themselves whereas an external conflict is when a character has a conflict with an outside force. Looking back over what we've read so far, one conflict I remember was when Katniss from the Hunger Games had to fight all the other tributes in the arena. This is an example of an external conflict. It was resolved when she killed them all.

         In Language Arts class, my greatest academic achievement this term is getting an A. I am proud of myself because i turned in all my work. The part I struggle with the most is the tests because they were a little hard. The plan to improve my learning in this area is to not talk as much.

         If you were to ask Miss Lewis what kind of student I am, she would probably say I am a good student. I agree with her because I have an A in this class.
