Hi! I am a freshman in high-school. I attend a great school, with excellent
teachers and amazing students. My
portfolio might have one overall theme: growth. I
started the school year well, but I ran
into some problems and had real trouble getting back on track. -Especially in
English. I had to grow a lot and in a
short time.
We are required to put
together a portfolio blog, and this is it. A few of the highlights of my growth this year: I
chose to write about immersive reading because it has made my class a lot easier, and as the name implies,
I am learning to immerse myself in my
reading. As an example of being immersed in the reading, in Purple Hibiscus,
I felt for the family at each up and each down. I chose the hits and misses that I
did because I had some major ones and
they helped me learn more about myself. An example of a hit would include my Purple Hibiscus annotations, and an
example of a miss would be my literary
analysis on Lord of The Flies. This
leads to my next point about revisions. I chose to redo my
Lord of the Flies analysis because it was my worst grade and I hoped to
learn from it and apply my new skills
that I have mastered this year. I will continue to improve in my immersive reading. The annotations seem to
be the most important for my success. I believe I will return to enjoying English
more and more again as I continue to work on these skills.
Happy reading!
