Goals-Quarter+4

Goal #1: Improve my writings (word chice, grammar, look up words that I don't know, and etc.)

How?: For word choices I will look up in the thesaurus, use go-chu-gang words, share my point of views with my friends, and study more about grammar at home also. My opinion gives me an idea that I should look up the words that I don't know in the dicitionary. Then, my writing should be improved.

Goal #2: Stay on task during independent work time

How?: By focusing on my own work, and finish my goal on time. Also, I will not talk to anybody while indepedent time, and not goof around until I finish my task.

Goal #3: Improve my handwriting

How?: Change my previous handwriting, by writing bigger, and clearly.

Paragraph/ Reflections

Goal 1: I am usually putting effort for my writing, but it seems not so satisfying with you. Therefore, I will not use a ricecake word, instead I'll use go-chu-jang words by looking it up in the thesaurus. Also, for the words I do not know, I'll habit myself by looking it up in the dictionary. Last but not least, as you have said in the SLC (Student Led Conference), I do have opinions that I have a problem with my grammar skill. I somtimes get something mixed up, and write a sentence in an incorrect way. To get this improved I am working on a grammar book that is suitable with my level. Since I solve this I started to feel that I made differences with my writing, in fact, I should keep working on it!

Goal 2: I am goofing around at independent worktime, and talking with my friends. I know that I have been troubled with this, and I am trying to fix this problem. I will stay on task during worktime, and not talk during worktime either even if I have a question. As I said, I WILL change this problem as quickly as I can. I now even ignore people's questions, and don't talk or goof around during independent work time. Therefore, ypu might see me changing: focusing on my owm work~

Goal 3: I am also trying my best to change my penmanships too, but it seems that you're not satisfied again. From my mom's advice, she said I should write bigger, and clearly. I started to change my handwriting, and started to see a bit change. It is hard to change my handwiriting, because I used to write small. Still, I am doing my best to make my handwriting bigger, clearly, and satisfies you. Now, I am sensitive with my writing. I used to just scratch out the words that are ugly, but now I write slowly, biggish, and clearly. Also, instead of scrathching the words with my pencil, I erase with my eraser. (But I don't usually, because the first time I write, I write the words big, clear.

Paragraph/ Reflection 2

Goal 1: I can now clearly realize that I am always looking up words that I don't know in the dictionary. When a new vocabulary comes to me while reading, first I try to guess the meaning in the context as best as I can. A dictionary is the second best policy for me. This rule is applied to my literature circle book, __Number the Stars.__ Now I think that I should acclimate myself to this when I read a book. Also, my grammar skills are getting little bit improved since I am working on it systematically. Last but not least, I see just a bit change in my word choice. I hardly look up in the thesaurus, for go-chu-gang words,maybe I am too lazy to look up a thesaurus.. I'll break myself of a bad habit!!

Goal 2: I think that I don't talk in class' independent work time anymore,and not to make any faults again. I can feel a little bit of improvement, espeically during snack, and independent reading time. I used to talk, and share my snacks during this time,but not anymore. I always try to concentrate on my own book, and my snack. (*^^*) . I am trying to pay attention to your lecture and I hope that you're pleased with it.

Goal 3: I finally found out why my handwiriting uesd to be not so satifying with you. The reason was because, since I always wrote too fast, (to get it done early) my handwiriting was just.., bad. Now, since I discovered my problem, I started doing this: WRITE SLOWER. It is obvious. my handriting was awkward, becauswrote otetoo fast, so if I were able to write slower it's going to improve. I know that I can write good enough when I write slower. All I need to do is to slow down, and never think that it is a race.

Paragraph/ Reflections 3

Goal 1: Now I'm highlighting the words that I don't know when I'm reading books(excluding libary books). This definetly is helpful to me with the word choices, and I'm trying to use these words when I come to write some articles. In addition for my vocabulary improvement, I am working on a nice workbook,which gives me terrific vocabulary words that I can use. For grammar, these days to be honest I don't usually work in constant pace. I will start again with it in a constant pace.

Goal 2: Whoo! now I bet that I don't talk in independent work time, and I think it's a gigantic success to me! I don't talk with friends neither in a snack time, nor in an independent reading time. Please take a look at me and my group are not uproarious anymore.

Goal 3: To be honest again, I don't see any positive differences with my handwriting. Thus, a bit change than when I started this was I write a bit more curlier and slower. However the kernel of handwriting is I think discriminability. The reason that I wrote awkward is I am lacking in that essence I think.

] Paragraphs/ Reflections 4  Goal 1: Highlighting words while reading gives me some improvements on my vocabs. That's a definite fact, and I think it's essential to everyone. If a person's writing is not improving, I'll recommend him to do so. My goal is reaching to the "accomplishment" in selecting nice vocabs. For the next goal I'll keep up this work. and never make a failure.

Goal 2: These days, I have been always on my task, and did not goofing around when it's time to work. The most significant reason might be changing my seat I think. As a matter of fact, it's nice to change environment around me in some cases..., and I'll not look off my book during classes from now on.

Goal 3: To be honest again, I don't see any positive differences with my handwriting. Maybe a bit has changed than the very beginning. However, the kernel of handwriting is I think discriminability. The reason my handwriting looks awkward is, lack of that essence I think.
