Personal Reflective Essay

449 Words2 Pages

I know for a fact that I have evolved as a learner these last few weeks. I not only know that because it has become easier for me to finish paragraphs and essays faster, but I have also learned the paragraph and essay templates by heart. As being a student that's part of the GT Program, I have had to finish two essays in a week, and I’ve had extra work along with my work in regular language arts and reading classes. Throughout the last few weeks I have learned how easy it is to organize an essay and a paragraph, I’ve learned the steps of writing a novel, and I have learned that being part of the GT Program is a privilege, not a right. Since I am part of an advanced Reading/Language Arts program, the grade I get for the GT Program is 20% of my overall grade for Language Arts and/ or Reading. The grade I believe I should receive for the GT Program is between a 85-92%. Because of my lack of responsibility for checking Google Classroom everyday, I have one of my assignments done two days late, which is 20% off. The largest grade I could get for that assignment is an 80%. Even though I’ve been forgetting to check Google Classroom every single day, I still believe I could have the chance to earn a 90%. I have turned in all of my other assignments on time, I have also understood the assignments fairly well. …show more content…

The GT Program gives me extra practice for essay writing, paragraph writing, and what not. I also enjoy the GT Program because I feel as if I’m being acknowledged for doing well in Reading and Language Arts, stating that students that scored high on the Reading and Language Arts MAP test are part of the program. One last reason I appreciate the GT Program is because since I know most of the notes my classmates take during class, I can be excused from writing them down and I can finish my homework from the program. The GT Program, as I’ve already stated, is a privilege, not a

  • Second Start Alternative High School: A Case Study

    2313 Words  | 10 Pages

    Many of the students enrolled at Second Start Alternative High School are referred as a result of their low rates of attendance at their current schools. Due to this fact, Second Start enforces that students must be present eighty-five percent of the time in order to receive credit each quarter. The policy states that even if a student completes all of their coursework, they will not receive credit if their rate of attendance is below an eighty-five percent. However, students who are chronically absent, rarely complete all of their assignments. Students who have frequent absences find it difficult to complete quality work typically because they missed the associated instruction.

    In Unit 3, in one of my sections, I had 3 A’s, 11 B’s, 4 C’s, 2 D’s, and 2 R’s. I feel calibrated, and I think that my grades have been fairly even throughout the semester. This particular section did a good job with the persuasive research essay, which is why this time around the class is “B” heavy. Typically, B’s and C’s are the most frequent grades given and I know that this semester the papers have overall been better than in previous semester. I think that this is perhaps because I have a better grasp on what I am teaching, and majority of my students this semester care – I have a lot come into my office hours to talk about papers, get my feedback, and do revisions.

  • Essay On Who Killed Martin Luther King

    In my original Letter of Intent, I decided not to include the grade that I would like/intend to receive in this class. The grade doesn’t matter as much to me as learning and passing the class does. If I must choose a grade to receive in this class, then I would choose a C-, which is just enough to pass the class. Any grade better than a C- would be amazing, but I think that a C- is a decent enough grade. I would not say that I will do whatever I can to get a good grade in the class because in that case, I would have to drop my other classes, quit my job, refuse to hang out with my friends, etc.

  • Emily Vallowe's Literacy Narrative: Write Or Wrong Identity

    1373 Words  | 6 Pages

    As a college student, Emily Vallowe wrote a literacy narrative with a play on words title: “Write or Wrong Identity.” In this work, she told the story of how she believed her confidence as a writer developed; however, she was becoming dubious as to her distinctiveness as an author. Although I have never been a self-proclaimed wordsmith as Ms. Vallowe obviously had been for years, I related to her journey. Not only did she grow up in Northern Virginia like I did, she never considered herself an inept writer—a possibility that I could not fathom about myself. Then, at some point, we both began to question our own ability and to question who we really were.

    I have always hated writing about myself, and I always dreaded assignments in school where I had to describe myself. I always wanted to avoid doing these assignments because I did not want to sound narcissistic, or self-absorbed. I dislike people like that now, because I used to be one of those people. It took many lessons learned before I humbled myself; I am still learning to humble myself today with recent experiences I have had. Although I hate to write about myself, I have always liked to reflect on myself.
