               I learned many important things this year from my accelerated language arts class. One of the important things I learned this year was how to annotate any type of writing this is important do to the fact that now I know how to mark important areas of the writing, how to put a specific mark when I am asking a question and how to properly display my ideas. Another important thing that I learned this year was how to properly write a paragraph. Last year I would just write a paragraph with out a topic sentence and with out much supporting details, but now I feel more confident about writing and I believe I will keep this skill for the rest of my life.  Learning how to research for articles was also something important because now I can search up for things that allow me to find what is going on around the world.


             The nicest thing that anybody did to me was not just one person, but it was the whole class. Everyone treated me kindly and no one was ever rude to me. It also allowed me to create new friends that others times I would not be able to. I think that I taught some of my class mates to be more patient. I believe this because I am always messing up and they have to explain a concept a few times over. 



             I think that the area that I made the biggest improvement was in my writing. At the beginning of the year I would struggle to write my blog, but now it has become easier to write my blog. This was also the most challenging part of my year not writing my blog but writing in general. Once I was able to over come that I felt more confident about my self. I was proud of the fact that my writing had improved so much since the beginning of the year. 


              I think that my best piece of writing was my poem "The Jungle" for some reasons. The first reason was that I did not like poetry, but this poem drove me to do my best. Another reason is that I believe that this is my piece of writing is that this the writing were I tried to be as creative as possible and that is saying something because it is not very creative. As well in this piece of writing I do my best to describe the setting of my picture. 


              My favorite book that I read this year was The Testing because it was action packed. Another reason I liked The Testing is because it has thrills and intense moment were you feel as the character. I also never wanted to put the book down I was always interested on what was happening. Unlike other books were the action is the last 1/3 of the book the action starts in the first 1/3 of the book. It also has great character development that helps you understand the reason for the character choices. While the only complaint is that it copies many of the aspects other book are known for that have come prior to it. 


              
            If you are a new 7th grader and are in mrs. Larson classes I have to tell you a few helpful tips. First off time management is one of the most important parts of being successful because you will have a lot of work and you do not want to have to do it all at the end of the week especially with all your other classes. As well be very organized and careful with your work do to the fact you would not want to lose your work and have to start over from the beginning. Pay attention is class because if you miss an important step you will lost. If you follow these steps and common sense you should have a good time in mrs. Larson class.




Commented on Evelia C.,Jared A., and Nicolas F.
