Overall, I have learned many things throughout the first semester. In English, I learned about the importance of focusing on one topic and being able to develop it. Verbs and specifics also make for a stronger essay because they contribute to the showing of a situation rather than telling about it. The 6 traits, however, have been a challenge, especially when aiming for a 4. On my very last essay, which is my KC3 essay, I was able to shoot for a 4/3. This was all thanks to the constructive criticisms given by my peers and my teacher, Mrs. Sueoka. I was able to make revisions to make my essay stronger. However, I do struggle on one trait, which is 'word choice.' It's really difficult for me to tackle stronger verbs and effective words that are right for my piece. In Biology, I made a lot of progress and I learned much about life and the smallest creations that can not be seen by the naked eye. There were some things that I had no understanding of, but I was able to as I asked questions. I am looking forward to further and more complex concepts. In History, we learned about the history of Hawaii and how it has made up for what we are going through today. Many things have happened, especially when the Americans began to westernize Hawaii. Mene Mac has to be my favorite subject. I was able to display my skills in story boarding, filming, directing, and editing. The photoshopping and web paging, however, became a challenge for me because I haven't mastered my skills in these areas. However, I am improving with the help from my fellow pupils.
I am looking forward to the more challenging concepts that will be introduced in the next semester. I will try to make improvements in my learning and to be able to display exemplary work in all the work that I do. I will maintain and shoot for a score of 4. If I happen to not do so well in my work, I will try to make up for it to get a better grade.
