Final Self-assessment

1st Pillar: Self Regulation

        This semester, if I'm being honest, I don't think my self regulation has improved that much. Like last semester, I have trouble finishing assignments on time, as well as stay on task in class. However, the assignment I didn't finish yet is the Romeo and Juliet essay. But, lately I've been able to complete my work at home. Granted, 50% of my work is put up later than it's supposed to be. I don't have a problem with listening and paying attention in class, as well as helping others or giving suggestions. For example, I've edited both Sarah's and Sukhleen's Final essay for our pressure unit. I helped out sorting theme statements/thesis statements. When we are working in groups, I give insight and ideas. I typically stay in task when we work in groups. However, individually I could do better, I often loose focus and check twitter or whatever on my device. Although I don't comment often, when I do I really think about it and make sure it's in a respectful manner.

2nd Pillar: Quality of Communication Skills 

             One of the expectations from the prescribed learning outcomes is to: 

8. B8  explain and support personal responses to texts, by
   – making comparisons to other ideas and concepts
   – relating reactions and emotions to understanding of the text – explaining opinions using reasons and evidence
   – suggesting contextual influences 
   

An example of me displaying this is when we were doing the poetry assignment, and I think the best example of me showing this is from the discussion for How is your Heart by Charles Bukowski. I analyzed the theme, meaning and tone in all possible aspects and figured out which one made most sense to me. 

Examples:

Another expectation from the PLO's:

5. 5. C7  select, adapt, and apply a range of strategies to revise, edit, and publish writing and representing, including
      – checking work against established criteria
      – enhancing supporting details and examples – refining specific aspects and features of text – proofreading 
      
   Throughout the class, I always revise and edit my work after I'm finished, fixing errors or moving sentences around and occasionally change phrases. Before finishing I make sure everything is in order and good in my standards. Additionally, I proofread other's work really often, and make suggestions and explain different concepts, such as different theme statements and thesis statements. I also help figure out the different types of essays we have the choice of writing, like with our essay on pressure. 
   
   Finally, the last PLO is: 
6. 2 write purposeful information texts that express ideas and information to:
7. – explore and respond 
8. – record and describe
9. – analyse and explain
10. – speculate and consider
11. – argue and persuade
12. – engage

 I show this through my final essay on pressure, my synthesis essay, as well as my final response on relationships. An example from my final essay:

5. 3rd Pillar: Contribution to the learning environment 
6. When it comes to commenting, I fall flat, because I hardly comment at all however, when I do I think I do a good job, because I try to make my comments helpful/thoughtful, so I can actually help them improve their work. Additionally, I help proof read and edit other people's assignments, and give them some input on their work. During group talks, I also contribute regularly, giving new ideas.
