Comments to myself...

Hi again! Surprisingly for this blog, I am assigned to write about myself as an English 2 student at Sage Hill and comment on my own work. So far, the english class is a success to me because I have improved significantly on my writing and reading skills. The evidence for this is the increasing quiz and essay scores I received throughout the first quarter. I also found the class to be interesting as we began to read more and more diverse literatures. I began to enjoy poetries as we read numerous fantastic short stories and poems. Ultimately, English 2 provided me with many new ideas about literature and books as a whole.

There are multiple successes for me as an english 2 student. First, summer reading assignments, quizzes, and essays turned out to be a success because the graphic novel was a relaxing book to read compared to other traditional novels. I also feel like most of the weekly vocabulary quizzes are a breeze because I study the words a few days in advance and feel generally  ready for it. However, the transition from multiple choice quizzes to write-out-the-words-and-definition quizzes took a about a week to adjust. Lastly, I have a success in my study skills for this class. I turn in all assignments on time and usually finish them a day in prior.

There are also some weaknesses and things for me to work on throughout the year. First, essays had always been the hardest part of english class for me. At the beginning of the quarter, I had somewhat trouble on organizing my paragraphs and coming up with a good thesis. There are rooms for improvement in my essay writing skill. Secondly, I feel like reading quizzes are a bit challenging because they quizzed on some details that I did't pay attention to while reading. I realized that good reading skills are very important when it comes to understanding the book. However, I was able to learn from mistakes and hope to improve my reading skills gradually during the future. Lastly, I think I can improve on the way I annotate books and texts. Good annotations should corporate your own thought with the analysis of the passage.

Overall, English 2 is very enjoyable so far and I look forward to suggestions and future comments!
