Post#2 for 5/14

     I am very stressed about exams, and know that they won't be easy. I have started to come up with a little plan for English, and it will definitely help me out. First, I am going to go through all of my English stuff in my binder, and make sure to keep anything useful. Then, I will put all that information into an exam folder and make sure I don't lose that folder. After this, I will then go online and look at everything from essays, to other English stuff from Dr.d's assignment page. Next, I will calculate how many days I have until the exam, which is actually from today, 9 days. So, after this, I will then start studying probably on the weekend and make some note cards and organizers. Also, after this process, I will study for the exam the most, the day before the exam.

     I next, will make some sort of study tool, so that I can actually start studying for my exam over the weekend. I will then, put to use some of my useful study tips, and when I am studying, I will make sure that there is no sort of bad distraction in my way of studying for Dr.d's exam. Finally, I will do that studying and when I will take that exam, I will ask the teacher any questions I have, and I will make sure that I am not sitting near someone who is going to be a distraction.

Post #1 for 5/14

     I personally think that I would consider myself a good student and my evaluation is something like this: First of for me, I am a very hard worker and I believe that I am very good at coming to class because I have never been tardy for English. Secondly, I have only asked to go to the bathroom and nurse during a class period, and I don't go anywhere else than where I am saying I'm going. Also, I check my email always after or during school, so I try not to miss anything important. Next, I have participated generally well, but it is really not all that good, and that is because I am shy. Also, I do do the work assigned in class like taking lecture notes, but my notes could always be better.

     Next, for me is that I do both well in group and individual work, but I would say that I do better in group work. This is because I feel that there is not a whole lot of pressure in group work, and that puts me at ease, so I can concentrate. I also, could extend more beyond the minimum, and I know I can, but I just need to put in that effort and make it count. Lastly, would be for me, that I have grown a lot throughout this year. I would say that now I am not as afraid of presentations, and I have to credit that to my nice classmates. Also, even though I still am shy, I think that I have stepped up and asked appropriate questions all the time during class. So, I think that I have done my best, and know that my efforts were noticed.

Macbeth

     I being MacBeth, hath learned so much from this mere mistake that I hath made just a little while ago. I hope thy Lady of mine tis stay true to her word and keeps this mistake away from all that shall never know of it. I am scared and I know not what to do, but tis no one think it tis me. Many others believe it tis the guards, even though I tis hath killed them. Only Sir Macduff tis worried and thinks that I, MacBeth shall have not of killed the guards. He tis think they could be used for many purposes. I knew though that killing them was better than not, and this tis only because they might hav' th remembered many things.
     I speak to my Lady and hope for the best, while as many people tis think Malcolm and Donalbain tis hath done it. They went and left to go somewhere else, and many people tis believe in this rubbish. I for one though cannot hold my tongue for what I have done. If tis not for Lady MacBeth, I more than not would hath gave it away. She saved me from saying such stupid things that could have cost us our lives, so I do believe in her so truly. I want to sit and cry for my mistake, but me hath have to pull it together and be a King MacBeth.

Reading Response

     My book is still the Maze Runner and I am about to finish. It is by James Dashner who I think is a great author and makes this book a really good one. So far, many things have happened in my book, and one of which is that Thomas and Minho got locked out from the Glade overnight. The cool part is that they were the first to survive a night in the Maze surrounding the Glade. Now, everyone either thinks Thomas is a hero or they think he was wrong for what he did.
     In my story, there is also a lot of controversy on many other things and one of those is about the girl that came a day after Thomas arrived. She is not spoken of too much right now in my book, but she seems important, and her and Thomas seem to have some sort of connection. I really like my book, and I hope to  keep reading it. I will eventually finish it, and I will read the next book after that.

I read all 150 min both in and out of school
