I think that my biggest improvement in ELA was inbedding quotes. The way that I did this originally was by introducing them directly after a topic sentance or transition. This way there was no context, and the transition was very choppy. During this quarter we read some text that demonstrated different ways to add quotes, and I decided to try it. It is by no means perfect, but it is far better than the way things were before. I hope that by useing some of the new methods I can Add some diversety to my work. Old habits die hard, so i know it may be very difficult but I will try my best.
One thing that I have accomplished this year is joining battle of the books. Every year I wanted to join , but I never worked up the nerve, as none of my friends wanted to join with me. Thankfully this year I do! As I don't really know how this works I hope that my groupmates can help me get accustomed to the way this works. I'm not going to be idealistic and expect us to win the entire thing, I know that begginers luck wont help, but I do hope that we don't completely fail. I can't wait to get started.
The most challenging part of second quarter was probably keeping up with my homework. I don't like weighting things by hand, due in part to my terrible hand writing. Add that to the fact that I am a world class procrastinator, and I never get anything done. This then results in me putting things on for other days, then doing a weeks work in one day. Now it is still leagues better than last year, but that's mostly because I'm getting better at coming up with things on the fly. I do hope over the next two quarters that I can improve, other wise this will be an example interesting freshman year.
