Self-evaluation of progress during Term 2


 * Preparedness for Learning: **

- I am mostly prepared to learn when I come to class. I never really forget my equipment for class and I am hardly ever late for classes. Attendance is not the greatest, but I do try J I always have a positive attitude when it comes to class times, I may not always get involved in discussions during class, but I really engage with the students views.


 * Effort: **

- I do try my hardest to complete set tasks, but I do believe I don’t complete tasks to the best of my ability. My work is always neat and I do try to get my workbook up to date.


 * Level of Understanding: **

- With most of the tasks we are set, I understand quite a lot but sometimes, I do feel excluded sometimes. My understanding may not be the best, but I do try my hardest to take in information.


 * Homework and Meeting Deadlines: **

- I rarely hand homework in on time, but I eventually get work finished. I attempt all the tasks I am set, sometimes I don’t understand the work, or I forget about homework.


 * Quality of Work Produce: **

- The quality of the work I produce is fairly great, but sometimes I do lack in effort.

- The areas of improvement I will be working hard in is completely tasks and handing them in on time, and engaging with the class in class discussions and being more involved in group tasks.
 * Areas for Improvement: **

During the past few weeks:
====**I have learnt ** about cyber bullying and the importance of staying safe over the internet and online. ==== ====**I most enjoyed the Humanities class on** cyber safety and listening to everyone’s group discussions about cyber bullying, the consequences, the importance ect. ====

**My attitude has** improved in a way I have a wider attention span and a better understanding about the topics.
====**My behaviour has** changed about the way I use and explore the internet, example: Facebook. It’s changed on how I say things and make sure I know who I’m saying it to, and of course never share your personal details over the internet, and not let sites drag you in that you know nothing about. ==== ====**My interim report in the subject will indicate that I** pay attention in classes and I do have a wider understanding in lessons more than I did 12 months ago. It will also prove that I really do work to my ability and do participate in class discussions. Also, the work I complete has more depth and you can see that I’m starting to understand discussions a lot more than I used to. ====

**The hardest task I have had to complete** is probably to keep my wiki up to date and not forgetting to check it here and there and to make sure I have complete all tasks set.

**My workbook is** a lot up to date than 12 months ago and a lot neater. It also shows improvement in the work and can clearly state I do work to the best of my ability. **Group work is** very helpful to me as I can share my ideas and thoughts with a group and not just to my pen and paper. It also gives me a chance to get to know a lot more people in my class. It is heaps fun and interesting to hear and see other people’s views and a discussion.

**My greatest strength is** would have to be writing something or paraphrasing. Another thing would have to be group discussions and that I actually participate.

**The two areas of my learning that I want to focus on improving are:** <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">**1.** Getting up and talking in front of the class. <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">**2.** Participating a lot more in group and individual discussions and set tasks.

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">**I am happy with** the tasks set and the topics we are going to learn about. Also the choices and work we get to take part in. **<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The class wiki offers me **<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">a way to communicate with my humanities teacher and other class mates, it’s also a privilege to forgetful people, because I’m sure sir would still have the work that was set still on the class wiki. **<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Hall of Fame is a **<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">place that everybody can see wonderful work others produce.

font-size: 14pt;">My strengths (what I am good at) in Humanities include **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">being// able to pay attention and learn about classes that I am interested in, especially history. // <span style="background: white;

font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">kids in the classroom making silly comments and getting major lectures from teachers. // <span style="background: white;

font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">actually work to my highest ability during class and home tasks and put in a lot of effort to actually look forward to the topic. // <span style="background: white;

font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">pretty neat, just a bit behind seeing as I was role call for a day. // <span style="background: white;

font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">not the best, but if I keep trying, I will improve. // <span style="background: white;

font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">pay attention to what the teacher or student is saying and put in effort to learn about the topic. // <span style="background: white;

font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">are fun to work with and are a good thing when it comes to group work because everyone gets along and we all like working together. // <span style="background: white;

font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">learning about a topic individually and summarising. // <span style="background: white;

font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">am an alright student but needs to pay more attention to the topic and tasks in the future. // <span style="background: white;

mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">What progress have you made towards meeting the goals you set yourself in Term 1? **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;"> // I’ve made an improvement and still think if I keep trying my hardest, by the end of the semester, I would have reached my set goals. // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Do your goals need to be reviewed and new goals set? **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">No, because the goals I made are the ones I want to focus on and have been for a whole term. Setting new goals would take too much time and a waste of it. // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Yesterday **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">I was working on “To the manor born” and also got embarrassed by Mr Reichelt. // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Tomorrow **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">I will be working on my essay and “To the manor born” // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">I will **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">try to work co-operative and get more work done during classes. // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">I refuse to **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">listen to long boring lectures for no reason and not being told when our homework is due. // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">My favourite **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">activity for this year would be Medieval Day because we learnt about new things and were split into our friends classes. // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">The best part of this wiki is **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">knowing what you have to look forward to during the week and what other people are doing. // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">If I had a rubber ducky I would **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">think I’m weird… Haha, I would probably treat it as a pet and bring it to every class to annoy teachers ////<span style="color: black; font-family: wingdings; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">J // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Brainbusters are **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">pretty fun, because we can get a laugh out of something we learn. // <span style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">My teachers always **//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal; msobidifontstyle: normal;">give us too much homework, especially things that we are working on for ages, we have a life too!

I know we’re teenagers, but sometimes, we want homework.. //


 * 1) <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Write a paragraph which provides an overview of your Semester 1 reports.

My Semester 1 report was not the best report I’ve ever got. I was pretty disappointed with my report and I told myself Semester 2 I will promise to work harder. My main subjects suffered the most, English and Maths with a UG, not satisfactory. It showed my parents and me that I really need to start working harder. I wish I did better on my report, this semester has to be a lot better than last semesters.


 * 1) <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Write a paragraph explaining how you feel about your report and the comments made by your teachers.

I’m pretty disappointed with my report. I really do think that my teachers were as honest as possible and that they were probably right. All comments made by my teachers really did make me realise that I need to try a lot harder, and that I need to put the best effort, and complete work requirements to the best of my ability.


 * 1) <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">List the three main strengths evident in your Semester 1 reports (mentioned in two or more subject reports).

My strengths that were clearly proved in my Semester 1 report were English. I have the ability to do the best work possible; I just choose to slack off. Also, throughout Humanities, I do have some strengths, I just don’t show that I do.


 * 1) <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Outline any areas of weakness which have been mentioned and explain how you intend to address these areas in Semester 2.

Clearly my area of weakness is Maths. Throughout my schooling, Maths has not been so important to me, but if I wanted to succeed in maths, I probably would be able to. I think I need to pay a lot more attention in class, and complete all requirements, especially homework.


 * 1) <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">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 all honesty, I believe that the goals I set myself were unsuccessful. During this semester, I probably will try a lot harder, and try to make sure I achieve these goals.


 * 1) <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">(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.

If I like something a lot, I will try a lot harder to actually do well in the subject. I’m starting to get into a routine of completing homework; this will definitely help in the long run. Having an idea of what kind of employment I want to contribute in after schooling helps me being able to choose what VCE studies I will have to complete. But really, nobody knows in Year 9 what they want to do when they leave school, that’s why completing your education then worrying about that stuff is a better idea, because you have a better choices.


 * 1) <span style="color: navy; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">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.

The three goals I will be setting myself for Semester 2 are the exact same ones I set for Semester 1, cause unlike last semester, I want to actually try throughout Term 3 & 4.

- Have improved on handing in all set tasks completed, on time.

- Complete all homework that is set.

- Be more confident in front of audiences.
