1st Quarter Refelctions

October 27th, 2016.    

           According to my list for the 10 book challenge I have read 3 books. Currently I'm reading “ No summit out of sight” which is my 4th book in my list. The other 3 books I have read have been “Paper Towns”, “ The Giver”, and “ The fault in our stars”. I really like doing this 10 book challenge because it helps me get better at my reading skills  and helps me understand more in life. Another reason is because it helps me learn new words that I've maybe had never heard or didn’t know the meaning of it. Since we read the book “ The Giver “ and Mrs. Larson taught us a strategy while reading the book,  which is called singpost it helped me a lot while I was reading my other books and also It helped me understand what was happening in the book.

         According to the work I have been doing in Language Arts some strategies have benefit me. One strategies that has benefit me has been objective summaries. I used to always think that their was just one kind of summaries but I noticed that their wasn't. Mrs. Larson has teached me that there's a lot of ways that people can write a summary, it can be based on your own opinions by using first person point of view or using third person meaning like if you were writing a newscast. Another strategy that has benefit me has been signpost. Doing signposts has helped me a lot during reading my books and it especially helped me a lot while reading “The Giver”.


     I have learned a lot of stuff about the world. One lesson that I have learned is that not everything is easy . Sometimes you have to put part of your effort into your work and not let anyone do it because it’s not helping you, it's just damaging you more in your understanding. Also I've learned that your teachers are not going to be with your for the rest of your life, you have to be able to understand what they are teaching you because later on you will be on your own without a teacher to be remembering you what to do or without your parent because you will be an adult. You are the one that has to get your life together because it's not the teacher job to tell you to do this or that,  but they just want to make you a better person and teach you lessons that might helped you in life.
