hits and misses

               Even though English is not my strong suit, and most wring assignments that I do aren't the best out there, I feel like some of them were better than others. Through out this English one class Dr.D has pushed us to do our best a every thing that we do. For me this pressure did good and bad things, hits and misses. If I felt like I "missed" on something I always found a way to improve myself in that aspect of writing with Dr.D's help. Out of all the assignments, papers and projects that we have done this year I feel like most of them have been misses, however there have been a few hits that mean even more now because of the large amounts of misses. 

               In this English one class we have done everything from blogs to books to personal narratives. One of my biggest hits has been vocabulary.com I really feel as if my vocabulary has widened very much. I also feel as if the personal narrative was a hit because I got to chose what I was writing about. Some of my misses were blog posts, literary analysis and the purple hibiscus menu. Blogs posts to me are just busy work that students are doing for a 20 point grade. The literary analysis was hard for me because I am not good at reading in the first place. Finally, the purple hibiscus menu was to must work and it was very overwhelming.

Hurricane Katrina

          I don't really remember hurricane Katrina because I was only two years old. However, people often tell me how brutal and horrific it was and how devastating it was to the city and people of New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina is one of the five deadliest hurricanes in history with 1,833 fatalities. It took place from august 23, 2005 to august 31. The wind speeds got up to around 175 MPH. Katrina was the costliest atlantic hurricane in history. All the rain from the hurricane caused the levee in new orleans to break and flood this is what caused most of the deaths. Finally, the people of lousiana all came together as a family to get over this major hump in there lives.

new semester reflection

Three thing that I learned in the fall semester that I can use in the spring semester are that tutorial is a very important and useful time, take good notes so that when exams come around you are prepared to study, and to use your time wisely especially while participating in afterschool activities. If you don’t use your teacher’s knowledge at tutorial you are more likely to make bad grades. During the first quarter I came to a realization that high-school is a big step up. So a good way to adjust to this step up is to create ways to help success like setting reminders and setting goals. You can set reminders on your laptop using the reminders app or using the calender built into your computer. You could also use a paper calenderer to keep track of your stuff. These are two techniques that I use to try to help me to remember to do my work. My goals for this semester are to make As and Bs while participating in baseball.
