1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.

I'm proud of my great nation, as Canada is quite obviously the best country in the world, I think that the piece i'm most fond of is the city presentation, in which I explain what lead to the prominence of Nanaimo (My actual hometown is Qualicum Beach, but the limited information led to a change). I'm proud of it because I love my second home, and it was relatively challenging to find such copious amounts of info about Nanaimo.


2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.

I've always had a problem when despite loitering on a point of an hour, somebody still doesn't get it, this has been a frequent occurence for me, as perhaps my explanations are a little too high minded for some people to comprehend, not helped by the fact that I can speak at a million miles a minute.

3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
I might be patronizing at times, and that could hinder my collaborative results, but I thought that I've improved upon that and my collaborative skills, though there is still work to be done.

4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category ( and provide explanations):

a) Behavior

Could be improved
Satisfactory-YES

Explanation:

I think that occasionally, I can be patronizing and arrogant, but I like to think that I'm improving upon those areas and my work this year has merited at least a satisfactory.

b) Participation

None

Explanation:I like to get involved in class discussions and like to think that my opinions for the most part are valid and contribute to our arguments and discussions.

c) Organization

Needs serious help

I'm super organized

d) Effort

Needs serious help
Satisfactory
I always go above and beyond what is required._Yes


5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.

Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to to be more tolerant of people who don't understand a concept, and help them understand as opposed to patronizing them.


Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to be a better team player in certain group situations, by which I mean when I'm not with Alex.


6.Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?
Not really.

7. What was your favorite activity lesson in Humanities this year? What did you enjoy about it?
Like I stated.

8. What activity do you wish we could have spent more time on?


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?
