Mid-Term Report Card

      For me English class is not only based on your grade but based on leaning new things and aspects and also teaching somebody else something that your good at. I also think english class is based on feedback because somebody that has more knowledge and is smarter than you can tell you if your doing something wrong or right because than in the future you can fix that mistake and make your assignment better and that's what I love about having blogs is that you can give and recieve feedback from both your teacher and classmates. English class has been great so far this semester, learning new aspects and things is going great. But now it comes to how I think I'm doing in English class. 


A- Well when it comes to attendance I'm in class every single day unless I am away due to in school volunteering like I was only away two classes, one class I had to miss was because I was helping to host the grade eight retreat and one class because I was helping with the Remembrance Day assembly. On takes time in class I sometimes remain on task because I sit with my friends I get distracted and start talking to them like with me it's easier to get assigments done at home, and then because we do all of of assigments on our phones so during or after I'm done an assignment in class I'll go on my social media apps so I need to work on using class time wisely. For general self regulation of behaviour for personal and class learning for small tasks is also alright because if the topic we are discussing in class or in edmodo is interesting than I tend to pay more attention and if the topic is something I don't really understand I don't really pay attention and get distracted. I clearly need to work on a few of these aspects so I think I deserve a 15% in this category. 


B- Our class got a chance to do a few different assignments. I found every assignment not to hard and not to easy. Out of the 15 assigments the teacher has assigned I have done 13 because I didn't comment one two assignments on the Edmodo. But I'm fine with that and now I know for next time I should get more involved in the class conversation and try to contribute my ideas too. I feel I should get a 21% then. 



C-When your doing assigments you obviously have to try hard and have the best quality work. So far in English class I try my best on both any written and image/video work that we get assigned. I think so far in the semester I done two of my best work of writing which are the The Myers & Briggs Personality Test Result blog post, Interim 1 blog post and the Tattoo assignment. I feel I did really good on these three assignments, and now I can look back and be really proud of that work. I feel I did put my full effort in all my assignments because I believe the best work you can ever do is the work you try your best at and the work you can personally connect to. My work compared to classmates is fully meets expectations because when I'm commenting on other class mates I notice that some of them write less and it's like there not trying there best and by commenting I try to encourage all my classmates to write there best and help them improve, I also look for feedback and comments from the more stronger and smarter people. I could improve in some parts like my punctuation and how sometimes I do a few run-off sentences and to improve I could ask classmates that have stronger skills than me to proof read my work and ask classmates questions if I have any. I feel I should get a 23% in this catorgery because I only have to work on a few little aspects and I feel everything else I am doing fine right now. 



I really love this blog post because I tried my best and worked hard and tried to use all the ideas around me and I got a great comment from Mr.Neufled. 😃


D- Class contribution is essential for the whole class because an idea you might have could bring out the spark in somebody else's ideas and contribution to the class. I feel I do get involved in class conversations and less in the Edmodo conversations we have so I should probably contribute my ideas more on Edmodo. Sometimes when somebody is stuck using the Edmodo I can help because in the starting my friends Sukhdeep, Jasmine, and Prabhjot didn't know how to use the website and app and I already got how to use it so whenever they have questions I help them, because I am pretty good with technology. I comment on classmates blogs when I get some free time and I try to encourage them and give them ideas on how they could get better in there assignments. Also with explaining ideas to peers for example when Prabhjot dosen't know what the idea or topic we are writing about I try to help her the best I can so she can express the awesome ideas. I think this is my best blog comment is 

Because I encouraged Simran and told her what she has really good details so she knows she wouldn't have to work on that much in the future. I feel I should get a 24% because I contribute more in class and I should more in Edmodo but on the bright side  I help my classmates in various things and feel good about it after. 



     Overall I think I am doing pretty good in English and If I improve on the few aspects I addressed earlier I can do great and my total is 83% and I'm pretty happy with that because I personally know I need to work harder on a few aspects and then I could get a high A.

  1. Wonderful post Kirat. I love that you have found something specific in your writing to work on, and that you are honest and detailed in how things are going for you. I agree that your friends at your table remain your biggest distraction but they are also your source of joy and you help each other so you need to keep working on that balance. I will bump you to 86% because I think you were a little harsh on yourself, but I also like that you want to improve to earn a higher mark. I look forward to it. :)
