Reflection

I feel so smart and confident about this project. I think it was perfect for an exit project. I had a little hard time in the beginning because i didn't have enough information and i didn't know how I was suppose to do the genres. I spoke to Ms.G a lot and Tessa who helped me a lot, after speaking to them i felt very good and I just started writing and posting. I think that having benchmarks was really smart and helpful, i got to give my work in on time and not leave the project for the last day. I got to give a lot of attention to it and Ms.Sackstein was there to help me and comment on my work. I tried my best to make it sound really good but I was nervous. One problem that I have is that if I think that Ms.Sackstein is not going to like a writing or work that I do, I will not give it in. I get nervous and not finish the work. Like i was afraid to do some of the genres because I thought that if I did it wrong, Ms.Sackstein was not going to like it, but i finally learned that I shouldn't be afraid and do what ever it takes. I'm really glad I chose to do this project about treaties, it was a subject that got my attention and since no one decided to do it, i thought it was a great thing to learn more about. I hope I pass this project and hopefully get more in 8 grade.

Andrea, I'm so sorry that you ever felt like you couldn't approach me. Part of my job as a teacher is to make you feel able and comfortable to talk to me about your concerns. I never judge you for not getting it... I wish you would have come to me sooner, then there wouldn't be confusion. I have to say that I have been impressed with your work all the way through. You worked well throughout and were diligent about getting things done on time.
