My Grade 6 Reflection
1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.
The piece of work im most proud of is probably my Ancient Egyptian Diary. The reason why I am as proud of it as I am is because I believe it shows my best work as a writer and if I could, I would wish to use the same format in my other pieces of writing. Also I think this is a great piece because I spent all of my time on it and I really put a lot of effort into so I believe that I did good on this My learning way I am most proud of is that I can learn through movement and whole picture, and I prefer to move to process. This all means I am a L learning profile. My learning style may be different but I like it just the way it is.
2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.
I think the pieces I had the biggest challenge on, was the Literature Circles. The reason I think this is because I couldn't really come up with good questions so I had challenges because the grade mostly counted on the question. This does not mean I did not understand the book it just shows I was not motivated enough to come up with the best questions I could. Another challenge for me was that I was not that good at tic-tac-toes at the start of the year as we did one on early humans, and as for we have done one quite recently it shows I have made a big change in my learning. Which I am very proud of.
3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
During this year of 6th grade I have learnt a lot of things including: how I learn, things I need to work on and a lot more. The thing I learnt best about myself is my ability to work in a team. Working in a team shows you can collaborate constructively. The reason I think I can do this subject really well is because in Humanities, Drama, Health, Math, and Science (pretty much all of my classes) I have had to work in groups which makes me so proficient in that subject. This makes a stable study ethic because doing a lot of group work and i believe there will be more group work.
4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category ( and provide explanations):
b) Participation
None
Satisfactory
Actively participate in class (This one)
Explanation: First of all I think participation shows my work habits. The reason I chose this one choice is because I think myself is the guy who is a person who always participates in class and If someone needs help I will usually always volunteer myself to do the job. A experience I had with participation was where we were presenting projects and a friend needed someone to hold there object that they did for the presentation. That shows participation in class as for I am volunteering myself to do things for other people.
5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.
Goal 1- In grade 7, I plan to get my grades up in mainly two subjects, Math and Science. The reason I would like to get these up because recently they have been going down rather than up. So it would be great to get them up.
Goal 2- In grade 7, I plan to also work on organization. The reason I say this is because I have not been organized in all my subjects. This pretty much neglects my homework so I forget about it. Which also leeds to my first goal abuot keeping my grades up and keeping them at a stable level.
6. Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers of 7th grade to know?
I would like the teachers of 7th grade to know that during class I may get very distracted by my peers which I am not proud of and I am trying to improve this. I think as I go along im getting better and better at staying focused and keeping on track. As I said before organization is a thing I really need to work on so I just think you should know I may not be the best at that. I also think I am getting better at organization but I am doing it very slowly.
7. What was your favorite activity lesson in Humanities this year? What did you enjoy about it?
I would say it is the Ancient Egyptian Unit. I chose this unit because I had so much fun researching all about it and learning so many different things, it really opened up my eyes to how Ancient Egyptians lived. The thing I enjoyed most about it is how we got to pick a Pharoah and we had to study him like: his age when started ruling, his accomplishments and much more it was a lot of fun and if I had to do it again I would for sure.
8. What activity do you wish we could have spent more time on?
I think personally we should have spent more time on our zeitgeist (the slideshow about our 6th grade year and the things we have accomplished). I think we should have spent more time on it because I wanted to accomplish a lot more with it so it ould have been it its best as for I did lose some of my photos which made me get a grade that was not my best and I think I could have shown a better slideshow than I did.
9. Finally, cast your minds back to the first few months of middle school (when you arrived in Grade 6 ) what "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice" could you pass on to the Class of 2018?
I have quite a few words for the class of 2018. I just think that they should be ready for a few things including: increase of homework amount different teachers (but also great teachers), and the rest you will just have to find out when you get into 6th grade. One more thing don't be afraid of the teachers after hearing all of these tails about really strict teachers. All of the teachers in grade six are amazing and funny so you will have a great time with them as I did.
