Reflections: Looking Forward


I am really looking forward to next semester and continuing with my portfolio and reading many new and interesting stories.  I am learning a lot about how to put stories together and editing them in a more detailed way.  I enjoy each week picking new stories to unfold and also reading the stories that other people chose to read and retell. 

Looking forward, I hope to stay more ahead rather than finish the assignments the day it is due.  I want to work ahead and finish more of the extra credit assignments in order to finish the class in a timely manner.  I hope to meet every person in this class through their introduction and I hope everyone is able to meet me, as well. 

One of my goals is to set aside more time each day to devote to this class for proofreading and extra credit.  Also, by setting aside time, I know I will always finish my assignments early so if there is a day that I cannot work on it due to other classes or work, I will not be stressed about finishing it before the grace period. 

Instead of my bed, I might start finishing my assignments and readings at a table or a desk to be able to focus 100% on my readings and writings.   I want to spend more time at the library because I always get distracted working at my house. 

These past 8 weeks, I have not completed the growth mindset extra credit assignments because I wasn’t for sure exactly what to do for them, but after reading a few, I know that they won’t be hard and they will help me in the long run.  I plan to do the growth mindset challenges almost every week and grow from those.

I have not completed the curation extra credit assignments either because of confusion and time, but I will look into completing those assignments, as well.  By putting more time and effort into the class now, that means when my other classes get very busy with tests, I can focus more on those when the time comes.
