**During the past few weeks: ** I have learnt about the consequences of cyber bullying. I most enjoyed the Humanities class on creating Voki's for our partners. My attitude has been ok and I'm quite happy with it. My behaviour has been alright in the Humanities classes. My interim report in the subject will indicate that I have been positive towards the unit. The hardest task I have had to complete was writing the speeches for the presentation. My workbook is kind of messy but the work is all done. Group work is a good thing. i really enjoy working with others. My greatest strength is that I'm a quick learner. The two areas of my learning that I want to focus on improving are: 1.Contribute in class discussions. 2. Complete all set homework tasks. I am happy with learning about The class wiki offers me to speak my mind and voice my opinion towards things. The Hall of Fame is a place where you can see who has completed a 'Joke of the week' or has stood out upon the class.


 * **My strengths (what I am good at) in Humanities include.. I'm not quite sure but maybe worksheets.**


 * **My greatest area of improvement in Humanities is including more in my work.**

I'm pretty prepared, bringing all my equipments to class. I always bring the items I need to Humanities, so I'm pretty prepared in general. Except when I lost my 'Tall Ships' booklet. I try my best to focus but always end up getting distracted. I try to understand all the work but I don't think my brain can fit it all. Most of the time, I forget the work I have learnt, but I still try my best. I understand most of of the work, but I just can't remember some things. I think I understand some of the majority and some of the minority, I can never remember completely all of the work, but I still understand it. I try to complete all my work, or set tasks on time, but sometimes I lose it resulting in handing it in on time. Some of the times, I don't complete all the work on set tasks. Maybe because I didn't see it or because I don't see it, maybe even because I'm too lazy to do it. I have to say that I always try to try my best to complete tasks but always get distracted making me have more little time to work on it. I rarely do the tasks on the last minute but it has happened. If I spend more time on pruducing my work, it may be better in quality. I will try to improve on completeing and handing my work in on time, by: using my time more wisely, starting the project/work as soon as possible, and put my best effort into all set tasks, I will do this task by using my time more wisely and trying to do my best.
 * **Preparedness for Learning (books, pens, attendance, punctuality, attitude, engagement in lessons)**
 * **Effort**
 * **Level of Understanding**
 * **Homework and Meeting Deadlines (including unfinished, late or tasks not attempted)**
 * **Quality of Work Produce**
 * **Areas for Improvement (outline two and the strategies you might use to improve)**

1. Write a paragraph which provides an overview of your Semester 1 reports. My overall report for Semester 1 was quite poor. It included many concerns and said that I needed much more improvement. My report for the main subjects didn’t include any A’s or B’s, my report didn’t have any B’s actually, although I did get one A, but that was only for Recreational Sports. It was actually quite shameful to think that I tried. 2. Write a paragraph explaining how you feel about your report and the comments made by your teachers. I was quite disgusted with my report and felt low for my continuous wasted efforts. I think that if I had done any more poorly, I would be withdrawn from the SEAL Program. My teachers’ comments’ were quite lengthy, so it probably meant that I needed a lot of progress. Seeing my own report had actually ruined my entire holidays. 3. List the three main strengths evident in your Semester 1 reports (mentioned in two or more subject reports). I didn’t really get any praise in my report; I think I only have minor strengths. These strengths differ depending on the subject. I have been told that I was under-performing and had to ‘lift my game’ if I wanted a bright future, or for now, stay in the SEAL Program. I haven’t done quite well this Semester, but these ‘strengths’ helped me live it down. My strengths include being organised, bringing all the correct equipment to classes, … 4. Outline any areas of weakness which have been mentioned and explain how you intend to address these areas in Semester 2. I had a lot of weaknesses, these weaknesses include not being up-to-date, not volunteering to answer a question, being too quiet in class, being too loud in class, distracting peers in class, not contributing in class discussions, not completing every piece of homework, not handing every piece of work in by the due date, not having the correct level of understanding about the subject, not putting in enough effort, etc. I have intended to improve in most of these low areas, if not then all. I will most likely want to try and not hand every piece of work in by the due date and put in more effort. I will try to make the most of my education, by putting everything I’ve got into my work. This semester, I will try to not waste all my efforts and putting them into nothing. I will complete all the standard work requirements set by the teachers, work to the fullest and greatest potential and then finally, acquire the results I’ve worked for. 5. 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). In semester 1 I set 3 goals, out of all these goals, I achieved almost half of it. My goals had include learning at least 20 new things that I didn’t know before about this unit, having a better grade than I did exactly 1 year ago, and have all homework tasks completed and handed in on time. Out of these goals, I have only achieved half of it, these goals include learning 20 news things about the unit, and achieved a tiny bit in having a better grade. Sadly, my goal of having all homework tasks completed and handed in on time could not be accomplished and for that reason, I am greatly disappointed. 6. (Think carefully before you complete this task) Write a paragraph outlining the skills and attributes you believe you have demonstrated or possess which will enable you to succeed in VCE studies next year. I’m still not quite sure yet, not sure about my strengths, and what I want to be in the near future. I haven’t demonstrated in anything well this semester but will soon decide. I think I just need to put in all my efforts to achieve in VCE studies next year. 7. 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. - Have all homework tasks completed and handed in on time. - Acquire the results I’ve long wanted. - Focus on the work in front of me, FOCUS !
