A) Assignments: I completed 15/17 assignments. I think put enough effort into these assignments. I think I started to work really hard at the beginning of this class, but then it started to go down, but I think I'm all caught up now. I think my writing has improved really well from this class. I'm good at making stories and poems, but I think I need to work on making my blog posts longer.
I've learn to be more responsible for my actions and my learning. I've learn how I write and begin sentences and using periods in the right places and commas and indenting.
I think I deserve 25% for assignments because they aren't really long assignments but they do make sense and have a purpose. I'm also missing a couple assignments.
B) Comments: I really haven't made a lot of comments on other blogs because I find it kind of hard, I don't really want to argue if it comes to that and normally I will just write really nice things because I can't really say if its not good or they should do this or that. I've commented on like Fernando, Cody, Diego, and Allen's blogs posts. I've said things like good job, or I agree with them. I like seeing the comments I get because it makes me write better because I know what I'm doing wrong or when people write nice things, I feel proud of my self.
I really like the community learning because I've learned to be independent, responsible and mature. There are many other ways of learning then just listening to a teacher.
I would give my self 25% for comments.
C) Self regulations: I think I did average on controlling my behavior and learning this semester. I've never skipped, my absents have been excused every time. I have missed 10 classes and I've never been late. I think I'm normally on task, I do get my work done responsibly. When I would miss a class, I'd normally do it at home while I'm a way or get it done right away in class the next day. I think I've helped other self esteem, by helping them with their blogs and teaching them from my own learning. I've never been negative to anyone in this class, I even watched what I say before i comment on a post because I don't want to argue or hurt feelings. I think when I did my genius hour project, I proved to everyone that I've actually wanted to learn about something that I care about and wanted them to learn about it too.
I've learn that I can be mature and responsible but sometimes lazy. I've learn that I am caring and sensitive. I've learn to work with others and able to handle what people say to me over the comments. I think the only thing I need to change about my self is to not be so lazy and make some goals for my self.
I think I deserve 30% for self regulations because I think I am responsible for my own actions and I do come to class and learn a lot.
D) Genius hour: I chose Wi-fi for my project because I think it's important to know about it while everyone is using it at this very moment. I planned my project by doing it in sections, what is it? How to use it and how to access it, all in one movie, with the recording of my voice. I think I used my time wisely when making my project. My peers really liked my presentation, I feel that they learned a lot and they were interested. From the comments I learn that I'm good a speaker and a good presenter.
The purpose of genius hour is to learn about things on your own, you don't always need a teacher, you can be your own teacher. Mr. Neuf didn't teach me about wi-fi, I learned it on my own, even though he did give me some information I didn't know. I come to school because I don't want to be stupid all my life, I want to at least know some stuff, I like learning about interesting things. I like learning how to be responsible.
I like your assessments and your descriptions of how your learning has changed. I think you greatest strength this year has been your willingness to connect with your own life. Your poem and relation to Halmlet both begin the sometimes scary process of seeing ourselves and our lives in the plays, books, movies we interact with. I was super proud that you picked something cool to learn about for Genius Hour and stuck with it. Most people bailed and did something easy. The only concern I have with your final is the actual marks. 30+25+25+1freebie= 91% While your attendance was good, your posts completed, and your Genius Hour was original... to me 91% represents a high level of skill, effort, and contribution to the class... consistently. You have had some weeks where maybe some stuff was going on, or you were tired/absent a bit... but not much got done. I appreciate that you got some final work done in the end, and I think your attitude and self control has been great. I would say 80% is better reflection of your strengths and your "lazy" days? What do you think? If you really feel you have earned an A please call me (604) 507-6338 and we can talk about it. Time is running out though so if you want to talk call Monday or Tuesday okay? I really enjoyed getting to know you some Reanna and I appreciated your bravery with you posts. :) Have a good summer.
