Final assessment

I honestly think I deserve for my final assignment 76%. The reason I think I deserve 76% is because I have done decent in these categories.

-Assignments. I have done 14 posts, I put in 90% in each post on my blog. I feel that I have actually worked harder when time went along because I kept on pushing myself every time an assignment was placed. I feel that writing is a little waste of time but will also help you improve your writing capabilities. what I do well is I can think deeply on one thing and focus all my time and energy into that one topic but I have to connect to it. What needs work is the fact I can get sidetracked easily if I have not focused onto a topic. I learnt that you do not always need to do the assignments for the teacher and that once you do the assignments for yourself for no marks, you will learn that it is easier to do them. 

Some examples are from these blog posts. 

the tattoo assignment, I am interested in getting this tattoo because the symbol is first off irish, second of all it is a symbol meaning love, third I would get this so I could put my mom and dad's names over and under this tattoo to symbolized they will always be with me no matter what. 

from the hamlet soliloquy, I believe that shakespeare was trying to put an outlook of the play hamlet as a what if scenario but the message I got from this is that love, death, betrayal, suicide and loss of sense are just a part of life.
from when we had to create a poem,This poem to me reminds me of my papa who was very influential to me. The reasoning for me writing it for him was because he still is very special to me and even though he is dead he is still with me also because he fought in World War II...

For future assignments my goal is to always think about the topic it is asking for and only focus on that. 

-Comments.  I have commented around 40 comments. I commented on spencer's, ryley's, fernando's, reanna's, sabrina's, gurkarn's, harjas's, mine, cody's, adrian's, alex's. I wrote what was on my mind if that was to correct or to guide or just to say good job, I said what was on my mind. I responded I think 7 times. I made quite a few corrections I do not know how many but it was around 4 times. I learnt that the more you help others succeed the more you feel that you are connected to a unit. I would assess that I participated to the social constructivist group by these comments I have made. 
I posted this on ryleys blog. I learnt more that I thought possible. I did not think of one thing you could have changed. To me ryley that was perfect.
On fernando's blog. fernando, for your HTML I learnt that when you change the color of your html page. I think you could have done a little better at that video but due to the fact you did not want to talk in-front of the class I respect that. I think you did a great job fernando that was a great presentation.

My goals for the sullivan community and for my classes next year are to be on the ball with my work, to always do my work so I do not get homework. 

-Self regulation.  For my self regulation I feel that I did control my behavior for the most part except for a few occasions. I have missed 12 classes. I stayed on task I would say around 80% overall. I took full responsibility for missing classes by asking my buddies what I missed. I do not think it affected anyone in anyway. Again I do not think I affected anyone if anything I got affected by others. I believe that my self regulation helped a little with the succession of the class as a whole. I have learnt I actually can overcome my fear of speaking in front of a crowd. I feel that I do not need to change myself in anyway I honestly think I am fine the way I am. 

-Genius hour. I chose to do my topic on guitar because it is something I enjoy. I planned my learning by learning songs. I originally planned to do a video but I decided to suck it up and go up there instead. I feel I was successful because I would learn a song when I try. When I did read the comments I was glad to see people enjoyed it and that they wanted to know things like how long I have played for. I learnt that I should not always be so harsh on myself because I was proven wrong by the comments. I learnt that if I do something that I can enjoy it becomes easy and that if I dedicate my time I can do well. I come to school so that I can get a good career and that I learn so I do not get used and told lies to, so that I can take my own learning into my own hands and prove I am not a screw up, to prove that I do control my life and I will not let anyone tell me I can not do something. 

Genius hour

For my genius hour, I honestly think I didn't do well. I was shuddering, became side tracked and was not doing well. The only thing that was good was that I actually had the guts to go up there and play not just go over a video. I think that was my downfall. This is what I think on how I did.

final regular post

I honestly thought the point of this class was to tech us how to become better by writing on paper and writing poems. When I first got to this class I was first thinking it was going to be all writing not typing.  As for the purpose I figured the purpose would be to well learn what the government wants us to learn not what we have been doing which to me is honestly better. I see my responsibility in this class is to regulate my work habits and to also help my classmates out by giving them my feedback on there work.

The purpose I thought had changed dramatically due to the unexpected words from neuf by him saying for us to regulate our own work and if we don't do our work, it is our choice to pass or not.

 

Honestly I have no idea what neuf had in store for the wiki and the blogs. I find learning to be essential to life, but it does have its limits, I say that because the way it is taught can limit what your trying to say or what you are trying teach can actually take a different turn. As for the learning process I find it to be quite sickening in some ways, the reason I say this is because sometimes it is not the person who is bad it can easily be the way it is being taught, it is best to let everyone let them find out the best way for life is to go by the way they want to learn. I believe learning is something that everyone needs but only if they pick a thing they want to do as for math, science, english, socials, that way people will enjoy what they do not just slack and hate a class. Honestly my peers have not helped as much as I had hoped because if I were to get advice or help I would wiser, smarter and have feed on what to change and what is good. 

I have tried to help others by giving my own personal advice on what I think but that is only my opinion it is their choice to listen or not. A example of my own thinking is when I comment on blogs, it is what I actually think personally. I know what I believe because I go by what I think and if I feel as if it is wrong I will google it. I believe what I say because if I ever feel doubt I will look into it. I think that neuf looks into what he thinks before he says it because h does not want to be wrong. To me learning looks like a way someone enjoys what they do or read, if that means by connecting it to something or just being interested. When I am learning my biggest tell is that I am so absorbed in what I enjoy that I get lost in it and eventually fade to a place where I can not hear anyone.
