Reflection and plan

Reflection

• Spanish

This week I wrote essays in Spanish on family and my favourite clothes. These are good because the more I write the more I improve by learning from the mistakes I'm making. It highlights any problems I need to work on.

• Comms

I had the remediation of my ethical essay. I learned from Scott that I must print out my work and proof read it thoroughly. Also I am working on the structure of my essays.

• Literature

Providing more quotes and evidence to back those up is something I'm working to improve in literature class. Also I'm trying to analyse techniques more to create a good analytical essay.

• History

I am gradually working through my essay for history class on the subject of how successful the labour governments of 1945-51 were in creating the welfare state. I have kept to my goal of completing this essay more gradually and reading to understand as much as possible about the subject.

• Maths

In maths I passed the algebra maths exam I have been working on. Algebra has given me some trouble, however I have managed to pass the assessment I was dreading so much with full marks and a little more confidence that hard work can give you the results you want.

Goals

Monday

1. I'm going to find a short story that I want to write about for literature. I want to choose carefully and find something with some varied literary techniques and that I feel some passion for. I think thats the key to working really hard on something, I have to feel some passion for it.
