Dear Ms. Langley,
This six weeks has been an interesting six weeks in terms of the stress over midterms and other important tests and projects for different classes. As an English student, these weeks have been a little easier than the other class work. This is due to the writings and readings. I believe I deserve an 80 or a 90 due to all the work I’ve done.
I have read about five books this semester. One of the books is of course Citizen and another book is The Illusion of Life which is a pretty heavy(as in weight) book. The other three books were The Hobbit, The Hate You Give, and The nine old men. These books were books that I wanted to read and Citizen was a school book. I usually read fantasy books and this semester I transitioned from fiction to fact/nonfiction. My plans for the next six weeks/semester is to read Nonfiction and books on real life at the same rate as I was reading fantasy and fiction books.
For the writing, I have written the Citizen essay recently and writing it wasn’t that hard to write. This is probably due to all the practices this semester. I have also written the response to that New York times news article that was done before the essay. I have also tried to update in the padlet a lot this semester.
Throughout this semester I have gotten better at turning stuff in and getting things done not too long after they were assigned. So my goals for this next semester is being able to turn things in the day they were assigned. I want to get better at planning so that my grades can be hopefully better than this semester.
In conclusion, I believe that I deserve an 80 or 90 this six weeks because I have improved over these six weeks and this semester. Even over the holiday break I didn’t fall off the cliff and kept keeping the same pace.
