First Post 2010

In this term I plan to build upon goals I started working on last year.
These are my goals I want to complete by next week to start with:

Spanish
This week I plan to use essay writing to improve my sentence structure and vocabulary. I will write essays on the topics of family, travel and time. From this I hope to see improvement by comparing my past essays to my new completed essays.

Communication
In communication class I want to sucessfully learn from the remediation of my ethical essay. I seem to have problems using connector words and by next week I want to see that my work is flowing a little better with connecting syntax.


Literature
In literature class I will work to improve my comparative essay. I have written over the limit of words allowed and I want to prioritise the information outlined within the essay. By doing this I hope to learn to get my point across in the required amount of words while still using enough examples and explanations to prove my point.
I also want to improve my memory of literature terms and techniques. I will do this by examining texts that we have been given and trying to recognise the techniques used with help from the information I have.

History
In history class this week I hope to mostly complete my essay, by using a schedule to organise my time this week. Quite a lot of reading is required to gain the information needed to write the essay and that can't be rushed. In order to complete the essay I will do some reading and research everyday alongside my other work. By next week I also hope to have thought of the subject I want to research for my history subject.

Maths
In maths class I will take my Algebra test which I feel confident in now after working on it over the holidays. By next week I also hope to be on my way to taking the trigonometry test.

Investigating Europe
I have completed my report for the class and it doesn't require any remediation. However this week I will do my presentation on the same subject and I want to feel confident in performing it. My aim is to practise and to feel calm beforehand.
