Through out the lit. circle unit in English class I have improved on my understanding of text. The worksheets we were provided with helped me to really pick apart my thinking and asses what I had read. The more I thought about the novel, the more questions and predictions I thought of.
The discussions with peers helped develop my listening skills because it made me focus and have deeper thinking. Sometimes during our discussions someone would bring up a question or comment that I hadn't thought and I would try to remember it so I could go home and try and see their point of view too. It was interesting the different views/thoughts people had on some of the novels gestures.
Personally a skill I need to further develop is time management. A few times I found myself having to read for a few hours straight in order to catch up and finish my role on time, which was stressful. I have a calender I use for dance, I am going to start using it for planning my homework/projects out too. I think if I can dedicate certain allotted times for getting stuff done I will be more motivated to get it done because I will be more organised.
