Term 1 Reflection

In term 1 we have read a couple of short stories.We have also been learning about story elements. An example of a story element is conflict. A conflict is a problem, something that just isn't right. In a story you can have internal conflicts and external conflicts. An internal conflict is when you are deciding something....its a problem you find within yourself whereas an external conflict is a problem with someone else, society, nature. Looking back over what we've read so far, one conflict I remember was when Katniss was deciding if she should run away with Gale, this is an example of an internal conflict. It still has not been resolved.

In Language Arts class, my greatest academic achievement this term is my writing. I am proud of myself because I have written alot, and my writing is detailed and makes sense. The part I struggle with the most is some of the vocabulary words we have been working with, are kind of hard to remember. The plan to improve my learning in this area is to use my class study time wisely.

If you were to ask Miss Lewis what kind of student I am, she would probably say I am very talkative, but hardworking. She would probably say I get what I need done and I put time an effort into my work. I agree with her because that's exactly what I do. I work hard in that class to make sure I use all of the knowledge I gather from it and use it in the assigned assignments, and everything else.
