Final Portfolio

  In this class, self-regulation is very important. My behavior in this class is good because I ask questions when I am either confused or stuck on something. When we are assigned something in this class, I control my "elephant" most of the time. But I'm pretty sure everyone has one has an "off day". Mr.Neufeld hasn't had to tell me to get on task. My attendance has been very good, always on time and prepared. I chose the right seat selection because the peers at my table are focused. When we did the "Romeo and Juliet" play on twitter my partner, Ryan Austin and were very task-oriented. When assignments are due, I hand them in sometimes late because I don't get what I'm suppose to write. For example, our short-stories, I am stuck on how to expand it, and it's already late. Sometimes it's internet thing, at my house the wifi is very slow because we have around 13-15 devices.So sometimes it doesn't hand in even though I have finished. But when it comes to other things, such as finishing the novel, I finished the novel in the same class day. I use a respectful tone in this class and respect everyone. My strongest assignment was the tattoo assignment because I made a good connection with it. Short stories are one of my biggest weaknesses In English. I'm not that creative. I work hard but a break is also needed, after the break I gradually get on the regular pace I was at.I think I deserve a 30%.

My contributions to the learning environment is mediocre.Sometimes I comment, sometimes I don't know what to say. Usually what I want to say I can't say it because someone else says it. But I give constructive criticism in class to the person by talking to them.I help my peers with technology issues as well.For example, with the laptop Jeremy uses, he had trouble logging in so I helped by letting him use my student login.I share my opinion with the classmates at my table.I'm afraid to tell the class just in case it's a bad idea.Whenever I am stuck I ask Chris,Ryan A., Jeremy, and Paramveer.I listen to my peers and compare what was my thinking to theirs.I complete most of my assignments and I like the constructive criticism that I get, just helps me improve. I think I deserve a 28%.

8. speak and listen to make personal responses to texts, by
   – making connections with prior knowledge and experiences – relating reactions and emotions to understanding of the text – generating thoughtful questions
   – making inferences
   – explaining opinions using reasons and evidence 
   

I make a lot of connections when I write an assignment. For example, My tattoo assignment where i made a religious connection as well as a family connection.

4. A4  select, adapt, and apply a range of strategies to interact and collaborate with others in pairs and groups, including
   – initiating and sharing responsibilities
   – listening actively
   – contributing ideas and supporting the ideas of others – acknowledging and discussing diverse points of view – reaching consensus or agreeing to differ 
   

I contribute to my group and I adapt to new ideas. When we were in groups for Romeo and Juliet. I listened to Ryan's idea and shared mine and we acknowledge each others points.

8. – making and supporting reasoned judgments
   – examining and comparing ideas and elements among texts
   – describing and comparing perspectives
   – describing bias, contradictions, and non-represented perspectives
   – identifying the importance and impact of historical and cultural contexts 
   

I like going through a poem or a short story and examining it closely and using the evidence to support my ideas. For example, My "Who killed Wellington?" essay I enjoyed because I find researching amusing.I think I deserve a 26%

So that's a total of 84%. See you next semester neuf.
