Final Post

Self Regulation - I think my effort in this class in really good. My class attendance is also really good I have only missed a couple of days and I always arrive on time except on flex days because I always forget class starts early so I am late. I don't always use my device effectively but I do most of the time. It is mostly because I went from using a laptop to using an iPhone. I think I chose a good seating location, I get most of my work done in class and I hand most of them in on time. I sometimes get off task in class because I start talking about what happened in the sports world. I always get my work handed in though, I have no missing assignments. I would also say I work good and choose my work partners wisely. Arman and I worked good together on the Benvolio Twitter and other post on Benvolio. During the year there were assignments that I worked hard on and there were assignments that I didn't work hard on. It depended on what the assignment was. For example I worked really hard on my tattoo assignment drawing the tattoos. but I didn't work really hard on my "Who killed Wellington" essay. With my essay I repeated most of my ideas throughout it and had no quotes but with my tattoo assignment I worked hard on the drawing and talking about the drawing and describing what they meant to me. In this category I think I deserve 29%

Quality of Communication Skills-

8. speak and listen to make personal responses to texts, by
   – making connections with prior knowledge and experiences – relating reactions and emotions to understanding of the text – generating thoughtful questions
   – making inferences
   – explaining opinions using reasons and evidence 
   

I make a lot of connections when I write an assignment. Like my tattoo assignment where I conected with my family and what I like.

A4  select, adapt, and apply a range of strategies to interact and collaborate with others in pairs and groups, including 

4. – initiating and sharing responsibilities
   – listening actively
   – contributing ideas and supporting the ideas of others – acknowledging and discussing diverse points of view – reaching consensus or agreeing to differ 
   

I work with my group really well working with Arman and sharing ideas with him and my other group members.

8. – making and supporting reasoned judgments
   – examining and comparing ideas and elements among texts
   – describing and comparing perspectives 
   – describing bias, contradictions, and non-represented perspectives 
   – identifying the importance and impact of historical and cultural contexts 
   

I think I am good with going through my work and other people's work and comparing then and using techniques to improve my work. I also think I need to work on my technique in writing. I am not the best formal writer as you can tell by my essay writing and it is definitely something I need to work on. 

I think I deserve a 22% in this category.

Contribution to the Learning Environment- I sometimes go back and edit my work after a classmate has commented on mine but sometimes I don't because I was just to lazy to edit it. I also provide useful comments but mostly I just say good job and the part that I liked the best. I think i'm really good with talking to my group with ideas and they are really good with giving out idea's too. I also think I am good with commenting interesting facts on research assignments on poem writers. I also help my group members with technology issues like for Jeremy, he needs someone to log into the laptops, so I log into my account for him. I am good with finishing my work on time so other people can read it and also think I bring a positive mindset and hard work to the class. I am really good at listening to my groups idea's and adding them to improve my work. I think I deserve a 29% in this category.
