Second Quarter Reflection

     I think I've made my biggest improvement on citing evidence and using the TIQA format because at the beginning I never knew how to use the TIQA format or how to cite evidence, but now I know how to use it and how to cite evidence from different articles. Another thing that I think I have improved in are my blogs because at the beginning I used to make some mistakes in them. As I kept on writting more and more I have gotten better at them. Sometimes I make a little mistake, but I know that I have improved on my writting. The most recent AOW, in my opinion is the best one I have ever done. I made sure I added the essential question and chose the best peices of evidence.
     Something that I have accomplished since the new year that I am proud of is getting good grades on my vocabulary quiz. I used to miss some of the words on the quiz, but then I started studying harder and I got a good grade on the next vocabulary test we took. Another thing that I accomplished was making the boys soccer team. It was the best time that I ever had I played with my friends and I learned new things about soccer that I never knew about. My coaches trained me very well I ended up making some goals, sometimes I messed up and I missed, but I had fun playing what I like to do.
     The hardest part of second quarter for me was testing because we had a lot of test during quarter two. The thing that I did to over come this was studying hard a being focused on what I was doing. Some of the test that I took we very easy, but the others were challenging I tried my best on all the test that I took. I hope for the best when I get to see results from the test that I took. That was the hardest part of second quarter for me.

Book Talk

Diary of a Wimpy Kid THE LAST STRAW by Jeff Kinney the genre of the book is realistic fiction.

     There are many different settings in the book some of them are Greg's house, school, church, and Roll-a-Round. The main characters of the book are Greg Heffely, Rowley Jefferson, Holly Hills, Susan Heffeley, Rodrick Heffely, and Frank Heffely. The problem of the story was that Greg's dad Frank wanted to make Greg more tougher. Greg's dad threatened to send Greg to military academy. Greg's father get tougher instead of going to military academy. So Greg manages to change his mind by not going to the military academy. The mood of the story was funny because throughout the book it made me laugh.
     I liked this book because it made me laugh and it was very interesting to read about what Greg was going to do in the story. The thing that I remembered about the book was that Greg and Rowley dug a hole in Rowley's back yard because Greg's mom wouldn't let him dig it at his house so he went to Rowley's house to do it. Once they finished digging the whole they got a shoe box and they seated putting things inside of it once they finished putting things inside the shoe box they dug it and left in Rowley's backyard. I would recommend this book to my friends because if they want to read a realistic fiction book and laugh while reading then that's the book for them, but if they don't like the book there are many different types of books to choose from. The viewer should go out and get this book because it's funny and interesting.
