Greatest Success
In this quarter, my greatest success was following the rubrics. In the beginning of the year, I was confused on how the teacher graded. Luckily, I understood and over this quarter I had no struggles. Also, I never had to redo any assignments. I believe my best assignment in the quarter due to my greatest success, was the tracking folder for Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, because I followed the guidelines.
When the of folder assignment was assigned, I looked on skyward. Skyward is an online website where grades are posted. After going to skyward, I saw how many points it was worth. This folder was 50 points, therefore it would have many requirements. Immediately, I got every paper the teacher had given me, cut them and pasted them in the folder.
I designed the folder because I wanted it to look professional. When something is turned personally, the key is to have patience and make it as neat as possible. For example, "The way to find a needle in a haystack is to sit down"(Beryl Markham), which represents patience. When assignments are rushed, they turn out very unorganized. I took a lot of patience in doing the assignment because it had to turn out great.

Greatest Challenge
My greatest challenge this quarter was writing the tableau analysis essay. The teacher put the class into groups of 4 or 5. The groups had to make a tableau picture which portrayed characters from Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children. In my tableau picture, the four main characters of the book, Emma, Jacob, Miss Peregrine and Dr. Golan were included. After doing the tableau picture, the groups had to write an essay regarding the picture.
In the tableau analysis essay, I was a little confused on the content. Since I had done a detailed outline, the essay was coming out huge. I did not know if the essay had to be long or short. I then looked at the rubric in haiku, another website for school, and followed the guidelines. The rubric helped a lot because it explained what the essay had to include and the requirements.
The teacher acted as a huge guide in the process of writing the essay because she would help the students understand the material. She went step by step and explained the parts. She also gave the class a month to do the essay. For instance, " Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students"( Solomon Ortiz), showing how teachers make an impact on students.
In this quarter I improved a lot and my biggest challenge was just confusion but then it cleared up when the teacher and rubrics guided me. ☺

Improvements for next quarter
Improvements I will make next quarter in english class will be to master the material. In the first quarter, I ended with an A-, and this quarter with an A. For the following quarter I intend to master the material, therefore, get and A+. For example, "To become a master any skill, it takes the total effort of your : heart, mind, and soul working in tandem"( Maurice Young), showing what it will take to master English class next quarter. When people focus on mastery and take patience, they achieve their goals.
My mind will be involved in the mastery because I have to be thinking on how to do the work properly. Sometimes people rush their work and do not pay attention to it. If they would put their mind into it, they would succeed. My soul will also help me reach mastery because if I put my soul, English will be part of who I am. English is a second language for me and if I put my soul into the work I do, it will eventually help me in life.
English class is meant to help others succeed in life. This course includes grammar, writing skills and vocabulary. I will use grammar skills to achieve an A+ next quarter. Students make grammar mistakes and most of the time, they do not notice them. Writing essays is part of writing skills and they will help me in life because when I am older and looking for a job, writing skills will be useful to write a resume. It is always useful to have proper vocabulary in public. Membean is a great website which helps people improve their vocabulary.
Overall, I intend to master english class next quarter and have fun doing it! ☺
