Reflection #77

 Summary: Today we had a shorter class period, because of the Black History Month performances. But in the time we had, we talked about two poems, both about freedom and liberty.

Reflection: I may or may not have also done the CommonLit today too. Because, truth be told, I physically did not have the energy to talk yesterday, let alone read and comprehend a 1930s novel.

Evaluation: There really isn’t anything we could’ve done today. And even at the performance I couldn’t see because of some WINGNUT completely blocking my view.

Reflection #27

 Summary: Today we finished doing the benchmark test from yesterday. As you intended, we only left one question for today, being the extended essay question. Or, at least I was supposed to. I had to do both 19 and 20, so I only had around 25 minutes to write a full essay. Reflection: Given that I only had 25 minutes, I was glad to see that the topic was something I knew off the top of my head: US Foreign Policy. Side note: taking AP Gov and APUSH have helped me a lot more in other classes than I would have thought. Evaluation: I am abysmal at English MCQs. However, I believe that I am actually pretty good at writing, which is why this test frustrated me. Why should I be given a 40/100 for only knowing how to express the content I’ve learned in a way other than that which the admins think I should be able to? In my opinion, that approach squanders individuality of the student.  It is what it is.

Reflection #29

 Summary: Today what I was supposed to do was finish the Benchmark test from Monday. What actually happened was, I finished the test on Tuesday, and I didn't have anything to do for the whole class. It might have benefited me to know this information on Tuesday, however "it is what it is". Reflection: I wish I had known or been told that we would've spent today finishing the test. In that case, I would've taken more time on the MCQ section, and probably gotten a better score than... what I got.  Evaluation: I am glad the test is over. Ever since 6th grade, when they started making me do the benchmark tests, they've always felt like a chore. I did learn from this one, however, that I can write a full essay in 30 minutes. Weirdly enough, I actually did that again today in AP US History. We had to write an LEQ on the American Revolution in ~35 minutes, and I literally put my pen down as the bell rang, having written 2 and a half pages by hand (If I am forced to d...

Reflection #91

 Summary: Today we went over a worksheet on creating claims, instead of identifying them. The sheet gave us a bunch of examples, and we had to make a claim for and against them. Reflection: After doing this assignment, I went back to the sheet from Friday, which I didn’t know how to do, and I think I’ve got it now.  Evaluation: As I just said, I only really understood how to identify a claim after I wrote a bunch of them. So, I think you should- in the future- do the writing claims sheet before the identifying claims sheet. Reveal: I have so much work this year good googly
