First Quarter Reflection

As we end the first quarter, let's pause to reflect on what we've learned. Read the questions below to reflect on your learning and growth this quarter.

• How have you grown as a reader? 
• What does it mean to read a text deeply?
• How can a reading journal help you grow as a reader and thinker? 
• How have you grown as a writer?
• What new skills have strategies have you learned to make you a better writer?
•  What skills do you personally think you need to focus on next quarter?
  
• What technology skills have you added to your arsenal?
• Have have you grown as a collaborator?
• How have you grown as a person capable of having an intelligent discussion with a group?
• How have you grown as a team player who can work together toward a common goal?
• What do you hope to learn next quarter? 

Now, write a blog post (on your blog) reflecting on your growth in English 11 this quarter. Do not write as if you are answering the questions. Instead, use them as idea starters. Your post should be thoughtful and thorough. :)
