Answers to questions

1. There are a lot of things I achieved during the school days, which was 6 months. I learned useful math skills. I learned about history in humanity class as well. For me, Paleolithic age and Neolithic age was the unit that I had most enjoyed. These are the greatest achievements for me in 6 months in school. I made an achievement for being social. In elementary school, you can only be friends with your classmates because the classes rarely meet. Unlike elementary school, in middle school, you have 8 subjects and each class has different friends so you have more chance of having many friends. I think those are the achievements that I made.

2. I learned many skills in each subject. For math, I learned how to convert a decimal to fraction. I also learned the vocabulary about geometry, but the palindrome was the thing that I most enjoyed. For humanity, I learned about Mesopotamia, first 4 empires, Paleolithic , Neolithic , hominids and much more. I loved every things in humanity. In science, I learned fancy words that are used in science such like convection, mass, volume, fluid and others. Even though the test was kind of challenging for me, I think I enjoyed a lot too. P.E was one of the subject that I enjoyed too. I had badminton, pickleball, basketball, kickball and much more. I think every subjects were fun.

3. There are not really many skills that I want to learn because I already did during 6 months. Still, I have some. In P.E, I want to learn to play soccer. In humanity, I really want to know about Persians. There are nothing to learn about science and math because as I said above, I learned a lot. I think those are only skills that I want to learn.

4. Goals for this next year is to study a lot more and read a lot of books that can help me finish ESL and be a normal student.

Literature Circle Feedback

I guess this is my last blog post about Literature circle. Here is my answers to the questions.
Actually, even though I like the discussions, the book was not really interesting. His future was too obvious and also, I was sometimes curious about the next chapter but most of the time, I was sure that Brian will do this and do that because at the last page of the chapter, the book briefly tells you what is going to happen in next chapter. Still there was my favorite part. It is when Brian uses his hatchet to make a fire. Nothing else was interesting. I think this book is trying to tell the readers that if you try something to do really hard, you succeed it. After the talking with other groups, I want to read Julie and the wolves, because that is what I wanted to read at first, and everyone was saying that Charlotte Doyle is too hard and Thunder cave is boring.
