Leadership

I think a good leader must be confident, understanding, listen to other people, nice, takes control of the situation,has respects, has trust and is someone to trust.

I don't think that there is only one leader of the whole of 8th grade, I think that there are many leaders, for the different groups .... At the WOW-trip the people that seemed to take control of the situation were probably the popular(they were also the loudest) like for example it was Gabis idea to do the mummy thing, and everyone did it, her idea also not to get close to the cob web (though these where good ideas).Philippe listened to others during the bucket thing (not very many people listened) but many people tried to take control of the situation, but did not succeed very well, because not very many people would listen.

WOW Feedback 2007

I think that WOW is an appropriate use of class time. We get to learn that way too!
Instead of sitting in a class room, and learn how to raft, it is 100 times better actually experiencing it! (And learning).

Some benefits about WOW are I got to know some new people, whom I didn't really know to well before WOW, but now I know alot better.

Seeing a different side of India. Since India is pretty big, there is a lot of India you don't see if you just stay in Delhi. The evidence are the pictures I have taken,and comparing them to Delhi.

It was a fun exsperience. If I hade never gone on WOW, I don't think I would have ever gone rafting! But now I know how fun it is, and now I would definetly do it again! The evidence is how fun I had!

Parent Teacher conference

I am proud of never turning in my H.W late! It's more challenging here, so is the H.W,and usually it's due for the next day.So I'm proud that I have never given it in late.
I am also proud of my IR test grade. I got an A- , and I had one day less to study. I also had a science mini-test that same day (which didn't go to well...but that's ok....). I guess I kind of prioritized the humanities test, because it was a "mini"-test in science, and we are going to have an even bigger test in science, so then I can make it even. Anyway, I'm proud of two things: never giving in my Home Work late, and getting an A- in the IR test.

What was challenging was probably the Socratic Seminars. I don't really talk that much because, 1, someone else usually says what I was thinking of saying,2, if I do come up with something to say, usually we have moved on from that "topic" and are talking about something different. But the good thing about it made me think about how I should plan it for next time! And hopefully it would make it easier to talk....

New goals for Qtr 2

My new goals for this quarter are:

Get better at Socratic seminars.

Plan my AR schedule better, read faster so I don't feel so stressed by the end of the quarter, and plan more time for reading.

Get better at revising! I can never give good advise, and I should read faster, and make better decisions when it comes to revising.

Raching my goals for Qtr 1

My goals for this first quarter was "My goals in humanities are to write neatly and come up with another goal for humanities." then I thought of a second goal, and I decided it should be, to get better at Socratic seminars, which I said in another post.

I think I do write more neatly then what I did before, a little bit more. The prof is my home work assignments that I have written for hand.

The second goal I don't think I have reached, because we haven't had any more Socratic seminars.
