What I learned this week in L.A.

This week, I learned about Direct and Indirect Characterization

Direct: He is tall
Indirect: he bangs his head on every door in the world if he doesn't bend his leg.

I also learned about assertions and showing evidence

What type of character is Patrick Maloney?

Trait	Evidence from Text	Assertion
1. mean	He shouted at her, he is leaving her, she don't care about what he did for her, and he only care about himself Quotes: "Sit down," he said. "Just for a minute, sit down." -- “Of course, I'll give you money and see that you're taken care of.” -- "Don't make supper for me. I'm going out." -- “But there really shouldn't be any problem. I hope not, in any case. It wouldn't be very good for my job."	Patrick shouted at his pregnant wife, he leaves her and his baby, he don't care about her or anything she did for him, and the only thing he did is think only about himself. This shows that he is mean

language art end of the year reflection

Language Arts Reflection

1. Sort out your social studies and language arts assignments from your hanging folder.
2. Check your final grades on powerschool. Read your comments for language arts.
3. Find a writing assignment from the beginning, middle, and end of the year (electronic or in your folder). Post pictures of those assignments.

4. Compare and contrast the quality of writing in the two pieces and evaluate the quality of your writing in a few sentences.    start: P, middle: PMM, end: MME. I started with P, then my grade, during the year have gone better and better.
5. Writing: Describe areas you have grown in and what you need to continue to target to be a stronger writer? Use the rubrics to help you form your responses. I usually get the grammar wrong.
6. Reading: What was your favorite independent reading book? Summarize what it’s about in 2-3 sentences. Why did you read that book? What type of reader would enjoy that book? I like the harry potter the most, I discover that I like series from reading Harry Potter. Harry Potter is about harry potter and his life. I like the mysterious and magical part of harry potter.

7. Language Foundations: Take a look at your NoRedInk profile. What grammar skills that you practiced were challenging? What skill do you feel more confident in applying to your writing now? I get bad at punctuation.
8. Listening and Speaking: What oral presentation or speech do you feel most proud of this year? (Crusade leader debate, competitive sports debate, young entrepreneur of the year debates, Shark Tank, Speak Out, Columbus Mock Trial, book talk) What helped you feel confident in that situation? The debate, every one of them.
9. Research: What topic did you enjoy researching? What interested you about this topic? What did you learn about evaluating resources? (Shark Tank, young entrepreneur, post-classical state, trade routes, crusades historical fiction background, crusade battle, competitive sports debate, etc). I like the crusades battle.
10. What should stay the same and what should change about language arts class?  I don't know, maybe we didn’t do enough reading lately.
11. Share a positive memory from class.  I like everything.

Poetry Portfolio Story Jumper

Read this free book made on StoryJumperWhat is my favorite poem?
My favorite poem is Anxiety, this is because it's the poem I did without having an outline and I can do it however I want which I liked very much because I don't need to make it to fix the outline.

What was the most challenging part of the project?
The most challenging part for me in the project would be how to think of something that would relate with the outline of the poem because our poem is created based on another poem and its hard to think of something that is related to them and is about us.

If I had more time, how would you change?
If I had more time, I would put in more devices such as alliteration, onomatopoeia and more to make my poem better and more fun to read.
