I have learnt about the side-effects and consequences of cyber-bullying, even though I knew a few, there were some that I didn't know about till I studied the topic. I most enjoyed the Humanities class on Cyber-bullying because it was interesting to see how many different side-effects and consequences there were and what laws were created to stop Cyber-bullying. My attitude has been okay in my opinion but I think I could pay just a tiny bit more attention My behaviour has good in my opinion My interim report in the subject wilI indicate that I have done most of my homework though I think that I missed one piece, though I'm not exactly sure about it The hardest task I have had to complete wasn't anything yet. I found all of them moderate but creating a speech for our presentation was a tiny bit confusing My workbook is up to date and neat, except for a few pagesGroup work is good because I work well with most people in our class My greatest strength is English because for some reason I have a habit of continuosly reading over and over again so I get a bit more out of it. The two areas of my learning that I want to focus on improving are: 1. Group work 2. Class speaking I am happy with working individually but not group speakingThe class wiki offers me more space to work out what homework we have if I were to be awayThe Hall of Fame is interesting because you have to do certain things/good work to get onto it.
 * During the past few weeks:**

** My strengths (what I am good at) in Humanities include ** researching and learning about history

** My greatest area of improvement in Humanities is ** doing and handing in my homework in on time this year

** Things which distract me and prevent me from learning include ** talking and when there’s too much talking from the teacher involved

** To continue to improve and become a better student, I need to ** do my homework on time and take more notes during class

** My workbook is ** not neat but is still readable

** My record for doing homework is ** okay but I think I could improve on it, A LOT more

** I think that in class it is ** important to listen to the teachers, take notes and do homework

** My classmates are ** fun to work with since [almost] everyone works together. But they’re still easy to work with in a group

** My favourite class activity ** is the group work with others

** If my teacher was writing my report today he would say that ** I should work/listen more and possibly do my homework…

** My teacher will not say ** that I am completely up-to-date and that I don’t talk in class

** What progress have you made towards meeting the goals you set yourself in Term 1? **  It’s going quite well and I have met two goals

** Do your goals need to be reviewed and new goals set? **  -Probably because some were quite simple

** Yesterday ** I was working on To the Manor Born

** Tomorrow ** I will be doing my homework on To the Manor Born

** I will ** try to work neater and faster [but still have good quality] on my homework

** I refuse to ** listen to LONG, BORING and NON-INTERACTIVE LECTURES!

** My favourite ** activity for the year would be Medieval Day where we could interact with mainstream because of the topic

** The best part of this wiki is ** that we get to see what other people are up to and ask for help if we need any

** If I had a rubber ducky I would ** give it to Mr Reichelt

** Brainbusters is ** a good time passer when I have no homework

** My teachers always ** remind us about homework. Maybe a BIT too much

** My teachers never ** not give us homework

** Ms King was ** a good teacher who taught me a lot but didn’t seem to give homework…

** I don't like teachers who ** continuously give or nag about homework which just adds to the pressure and stress pile

** Mr Reichelt is ** a teacher

//Preparedness for Learning (books, pens, attendance, punctuality, attitude, engagement in lessons)// I bring my books to clas 90% of the time, my pens are always with me, I'm pretty sure I've attended 98% of the class, I'm always on time and I usually pay attention to class.

//Effort// My effort in class depends on what the topic really is and if there's a lecture because depending on the //lecture//, I may or may not pay attention. Eg, I stop paying attention when Mr Reichelt just keeps on talking, and talking, and talking, and talking, etc.

//Level of Understanding// I usually understand what the topic is depending on how and what is explained

//Homework and Meeting Deadlines (including unfinished, late or tasks not attempted)// I //try// to meet deadlines but even if the work //is// late, I still continue to get the work up to standard before handing it in.

//Quality of Work Produce// Late or not, I will try my best to 1 - do the work and 2 - hand it in.

//Areas for Improvement (outline two and the strategies you might use to improve)// 1. Handing work on time - complete the task and/or work before deadline 2. Organisation - organise times to do work and other things that need to be done.

I had grades ranging from A's to D's. Compared to last year, I only had one D on my last report but even that is one too many. Seeing as I was unsuccessful n getting grades higher than C's, I know that this semester I have to try my best to improve my grades.
 * 16/07/12**
 * Write a paragraph which provides an overview of your Semester 1 reports **

I've taken what the teachers said in my report and decided to work from that so that I can continue to improve on how I work. I feel that the report was kind of a disappointment because I didn't achieve as much as I had initially hoped, but at the same time I am motivated to keep moving forward to do my work.
 * Write a paragraph explaining how you feel about your report and the comments made by your teachers. **

1. I paid attention in class 2. I was able to create neat work 3. I always brought the necessary items to class.
 * List the three main strengths evident in your Semester 1 reports (mentioned in two or more subject reports). **

Some of the weakness that I had in my report was the homework area because I either forgot to hand it in/bring it or didn’t do it at all and that I was not 'contributing as much as I should have'.
 * Outline any areas of weakness which have been mentioned and explain how you intend to address these areas in Semester 2. **

-"**Complete ALL homework tasks to the best of my abilities**" - I was unsuccessful in achieving this goal. This semester, I need to remember - **"Get a mark of at least a B for an assessment task"** - I was successful with this.
 * Open your sealed envelope which contains the three goals you set yourself for Semester 1 in Humanities. Describe how successful you were at achieving each of these goals. (If you were unsuccessful or partially unsuccessful in achieving any goal, explain what steps you need to take in Semester 2) **
 * -"Complete all class tasks, e.g. group work, collaborative, etc."** //--// I was only partially successful in this. This semester, I need to stop procrastinating and complete the set tasks

I believe that I can think of how to do work
 * (Think carefully before you complete this task) Write a paragraph outlining the skills and attitributes you believe you have demonstrated or possess which will enable you to succeed in VCE studies next year. **

 1. Do __**ALL HOMEWORK** __ on time and don't forget that I have taken the work home -- I can do this by first of all, bringing the work home and of course, brining the work out and doing it. I will be able to determine how well I've done this by what the semester 2 report says.  2. Organise specific times to do humanities homework at home -- I can do this by either creating a timetable or doing the work right after school. This can be measured by whether the work I hand is good-quality, late or on time.  3. Keep my workbook neat and tidy so that it is presentable -- I can achieve this by putting loose worksheets that aren't to be put into my book inside folders and if they **do** belong in my books I glue them down. This is measurable by how neat my book is.
 * Set yourself three goals for Semester 2 in Humanities AND explain how you intend to go about achieving each of these goals. Also outline how you will be able to measure / determine the degree to which you have been successful in achieving these goals. **
