What grade do you think you deserve for this quarter in English?

The grade I think I deserve in English is a B+. The reason why I think I deserve this grade is because I think I have been doing pretty good in English. Last year I always got a zero in my binder checks and reading response journals. This year I make it my priority to keep my binder and my folder organized so I can keep up. I did good on my memoir and completed most of my homework although my teacher did not receive my blog address.

Which historical figure would you most want to meet?

The historical figure I would most want to meet is Martin Luther King Jr. I am sure a lot of people have said this but he was somebody that is very powerful in my eyes. If it were not for him, African Americans may not have the same rights as we do today. He was such a powerful speaker and seemed to be so kindhearted. I know if I could meet him today, I would gain so much wisdom from him. I wish that he could be here to guide a lot of the people in this world because we all need guidance and I think he would be the perfect person.

Laearning About Myself

The thing I learned about myself is that I don't give my life the credit it deserves. I need to be more happy about my life because I've heard many stories this past month that are very sad. I am thankful that I do not have to go through some of the things that my fellow classmates have gone through. I have had some issues in my life of my own but they were not that bad. People have gone through a lot worse and I should be in that mindset whenever something unfortunate happens in my life.

Plan to do differently next quarter

What I will do differently next quarter is I will get a Writers Notebook s that I can get my full credit in English. In DMA I will try to work faster on the computers so that I can finish up all of my work. I am not all that fast on computers and I know I need to be most of the time.

How do the choices I make affect communication?

The choices I make affect my communication because some people may see how I act and what I say to certain people and that may be their first impression of me. If somebody sees me cursing someone out (most likely you won't see me doing that), they may possibly be intimidated by me or think that I am a rude person even though that person deserved to be cursed out. Basically you should watch the way you act in front of people you do not know because they may think something of you that is not true.

What did you learn about memoir writing?

Writing a memoir on an event in my life was something new to me. I never gave myself the time of the day as far as looking back on old times and seeing what I learned from those times. Starting off on writing my memoir, I thought it would be just like writing a regular story. In a way it is but I found out there is a lot more to it than a regular made up story. Its real, therefore you have to make the readers believe how real it is.
On my first draft of my memoir I over did it on quotes and useless sentences. The quotes I used were true, but boring and did not get straight to the point and the sentences weren't of high importance. The reader would have probably thought I was stalling and would soon get tired of my story. Overall, I learned not to put unnecessary things into my writing pieces whether I am writing a memoir or a report.

What Do You Need To Improove On As A Presenter

What I need to improve on as a presenter is very simple. I do not always speak as loudly as I should while presenting. This is very important for presenters to be able to do this so that they can be heard by their audience. If I do not improve on this skill I will not be able to get my point across as well as I would like and of course i always want to get my point across.

A part of my memoir i am most happy with

I am most happy with my whole memoir. The part that I am the most happy with is the part where I had to describe what happened and how I reacted to the surprise I had got when I opened the door. I am most proud of this part because I actually wrote down what happened. I didn't want to because I didn't want every one to know i was crying over something like that.

Revisions

The part of my memoir that needs revising is my conclusion. I feel that it can be stronger. I think I need to expand on how I have learned from my experience. I also want to use bigger words and get rid of any tired words I may have used.
