I can communicate confidently, using forms and strategies that show attention to my audience and purpose. Through my essays and presentations, I learned to adjust my tone and structure so readers immediately grasp my main point, and I now focus on integrating evidence in a way that stays clear and engaging rather than just inserting quotes.

I can get new ideas or reinterpret others’ ideas in novel ways. As I worked on projects  and personal responses, I discovered how to take a theory or text and make it my own and turning broad concepts into examples that reflect my experiences, which helped me move from simply summarizing to creatively applying ideas.

I can evaluate and use evidence to develop interpretations; identify alternatives, perspectives, and implications; and make judgements. In revising drafts, I learned to spot where I repeated myself or where my argument felt weak, and I now actively question my own writing and finding the clearest, most convincing way to present my ideas.

Next Steps:

I will keep experimenting with different ways to introduce and explain evidence so my writing stays clear and engaging, asking classmates or teachers for feedback before final drafts.

I plan to challenge myself by applying concepts from class to stretch my creative thinking.

I’ll set aside time after each assignment to review what felt strongest and what tripped me up, so I can adjust my process (for example, tightening my language sooner rather than waiting until the end).

1. In my social studies course we did a project on Genocide’s, which was a great demonstration social responsibility because for this project we evenly spread out the project parts and we communicated well and discussed who was to do what which made the project a success, we all put in a ton of effort and we were all super proud in how it turned out. Our depth of research and dedication to the project was what made it successful and if I could do it over, I wouldn’t change a thing.

2. I’ve grown the most in my French course because I used to not try my best and was not studying and trying to do the best I couldand now as the semester progressed, I made a greater effort to make sure I truly understood by studying and getting help from others. I began to do my best to prepare myself for projects and essays. I have been making more of an effort to speak more French in and outside of school to improve my language skills to improve my speaking ability to present and converse with others in French.

3. Next, I will focus on developing and getting better in soccerby practicing more outside of practice, either by myself or with others. I will make a greater effort to give my all not just in games but in practice as well. By practicing more i aim to improve my technique and shooting skills, increase my stamina and understanding of the game. I am hoping to become the best I can be, so the sport becomes more fun. I am going to put in my maximum effort every time I play, and I hope for success.
