Quarter One: Debrief

Meditate on the events of quarter one. How did you do in this class? What did you learn? Which of your academic skills improved? Where are you still struggling? How is the class environment? What can you do to further strengthen the learning community in our classroom? What are your goals for Q2? Basically, how did things go for you and what can you do to improve or to make things more successful for yourself and others?

When I arived in class on the first day of school I must admit that I was a bit intimidated because of the chanllenges I knew I would soon face achedemically and because I knew less than half the students in the class. However, as first quarter has gone by, I have gotten to know my piers and I feel comfortable in the class room. Achedemically I know recognize what is expected of me and I am motivated to achieve what i needed and to learn what you hve to teach me. I have learned quite a bit about thesis statements in specific and about the overall structure of essays, specifically five pararaph essays. I feel I could speek up more in class and ask questions to furthur my learning and I think this will become more and more natural as I become more comfortable in the class. I feel that I have been I god listener and this has helped me learn so far and it should continue to help.
Over all fist quarter was fairly sucessful for me and I look forward to seeing what second quarter has in store. i am prepaired to give this class my all and I hope my grade will reflect that. My goals are to get at least an A- this quarter, to learn even more about cappers and attention getters because I have had some troubles with them, and to have some fun while getting socially and achedemically comfortable in class. I think getting things in on time should be easier for me now that im less busy and I will work had to make all dead lines. I hope quarter 2 is equally if not more sucessful than quarter 1.
