Semester 2

          This past semester was a good one for me because i achieved my goal of getting all A's and B's in my classes. The spots where I was most challenged was writing the essays; either the essay relating to the summer reading book or the short story essay, I always have trouble getting the thoughts gathered to put on paper.  The spots where I did well this past semester was in the vocabulary and grammar sections.  On almost all the Vocab tests I got an A which was very good for me compared to last year in 8th grade.  Also on the grammar quizzes i got all good grades as well.

       This coming semester I think will be harder than the last semester, but I still will keep my goal of getting all A's and B's.  Some goals for English would be improving on my reading skills.  I can improve my skills by making a goal of reading at least one book on my own time per quarter and stay reading the books assigned in class.  For writing, I can improve on writing my essays by improving my theses statement, and organizing my thoughts more when writing.

        The English exam to me was "half and half" , I thought some questions were easy but some questions were  hard.  If I could restudy for the exam I would defiantly study the literary terms more because you needed to know those for the multiple choice, and you also needed to know them to do well on the essay.
