What we did : Today in humanities class we discussed key events and what we have done/worked on so far this year. We also talked about some upcoming events like the fuzzy drive (you can donate and clothing,slippers,socks etc. but only clean items). Also Ms.Lees' told us today that we will be having a geography challenge next week on Tuesday. After we were done discussing the upcoming events we were asked to draw a graph based on our: behavoir, understanding, and effort so far this year. We were also expected to write a few sentences on the back of our graphs explaing them and writing down a goal for January.


Learning Intention: I think that the reason that we discussed earlier events this year during class today is because Ms. Lees' wanted us to reflect on everything that has happened so far this year and to review the stuff we have already learned. We talked about upcoming events because it is important to know what is going on around the school and it is important to get involed and help out in any way possible for example the "Warm and Fuzzy Drive" by donating our clothes to people that are less fortunate is a good way to help society. The reason we did our graphs today is because Ms.Lees' wanted us to reflect on our behavoir/effort/understanding of what we have done so far this year. Ms.Lees' wanted us to write a few sentences and a goal on the back of our graphs because it is important and helpful to set reasonable goals in life.

Connections/Reflections: I think that what we did today was good for all of us because it is important to look back and see how far we have come since then. For example at the beggining of the year my plot diagrams and character webs were not very good they could be quite poor sometimes; however now my work had improved a lot and i am more confident in my work than i was before. Personally i think that it is good to set goals because it gets you motivated to get up and make yourself proud. I think that it is important that we learn how to pick a good goal while we are in school because this is a skill we can use in our lives as we get older and into the higher grades; no matter what path we all take this will help us to be inspired and not to give up.

Homework/Tips: remember that there is a warm and fuzzy drive going on this week and next week the winning class gets an ice cream party, also the geography challenge is next week. Also we must be finished reading our novels before next monday, even if you already have read your book it is always good to refresh your memory. Dont forget we will be doing webs about the novels soon and there will not be a mid term for humanities just a year end test.

John will be doing the next post.
