First Quarter Reflection: Fall, 2010

Hi everyone and congratulations on surviving the first quarter of freshman year!

To start off the quarter, I would like you to reflect on the past quarter. You may post your reflection here, as a comment, or turn in a hard copy.
DUE: Friday, October 15, 2010

Please include the following in your reflection:

1. A short description of your quarter. Good stuff? Junk stuff? and, very important, What do you notice about yourself, your peers, your classes that distinguishes high school from middle school?
   
2. Language Arts: What were your big (or little) "ah-ha's" for the quarter? What can you do now, or what do you know now, or how do you feel now in this class that you didn't do, know, feel before this quarter?
   
3. What would you like to see changed about Language Arts--assignments, procedures, instruction, etc. and WHY? The WHY is very important. If you're very persuasive, you might convince me to make a change. Hit me with your best shot :)
   
4. Then, describe your overall MeneMAC experience this past quarter.
   
5. Last, what are your goals and hopes for this second quarter?
