Semester Goal
My goals for this semester is to earn above a 90% in the class as well as every writing assignment. Writing is an essential part of a persons career which makes that a very important goal for me. Improving my vocabulary is also significant as it makes speech, reading and writing much better and fluid. My final goal for the semester is to improve the speed of my reading because it makes studying much more efficient.
Below Level Work
I really struggled on this writing piece. I was very unsure of how to organize my thoughts and my points. The paper ended up being a very awkward as my ideas were not fitting. I decided to begin to take more time and not wait till the last minute to finish up a paper. I understood that in order to do better in writing, I needed to put in more effort.
Mid Level Work
In this piece of work, I began to finally understand the loop. The topic for the essay was also easy for me so it was not difficult to come up with ideas. During the writing, I used a lot of the work time in class to ask my questions and also end up finishing without taking it home. I learned that focus is vital to writing and that makes it much more simple. I still needed to improve in organization however.
Above Level Work
While writing and even when turning it in, I felt like this was my best writing ever. I really put lots of focus, effort and time into this. From the intro, to the body , to the conclusion, I felt like it was top-notch. This work really shows the improvement I've made in this class and how much a person can improve if he puts his mind to it.

Final Metacognitive
Final Reflection
English 10 Literature and Composition was an awesome class that will leave a last impact on me because of its improving ways.I came into the class not fully aware of how bad my grammar , vocabulary and writing was. I studied hard for the quizzes every week because some of the things were still new to me. Every time I heard we were having a writing assignment I thought "C'mon Mrs.Hooper, not again". Writing was the biggest fear of this class and it has now waned to a lesser extent and become a roadblock. The nights I spent staying up till midnight just trying to get my thoughts down and have something done have become finish in class assignments for a score that won't destroy your grade. The confidence this class instilled upon me can be likened to the confidence a boy feels when he makes his first shot on a 10 ft hoop. I was always worried that my writing wasn't good enough but when turning in my last writing assignment, that was gone. This class is a tremendous help for struggling writers that need help. Overall, this class was very beneficial for me and I loved it. :)
