Spanish Class Reflection
Throughout my entire 10th grade school year, I have learned a numerous amount of new skills, I have formed plenty of new friendships and I have accomplished how to take both and work efficiently as a team. These new smarts that I took in definitely improved my writing, i’m basically a walking encyclopedia. That’s not true, but it’s like I’m a new person, my brain is growing like bamboo. The above smarts in my works include writing essays that are in depth, analyzing texts to help myself and others understand the reading in a thorough way, and using the correct format (posture, voice/tone, eye contact, body language, etc.) when presenting to an audience.

Then, later in the year, I think we began second semester, we started to do the TFA Lit Circle presentations. These presentations consisted of a : closer reader, character watcher, plot tracker, proverb interpreter, and a questioner. I would always pick proverb interpreter for one of my slides and my partners didn’t really mind because they knew I would get it done and done well. I would, for the most part, always get questions at the end of the presentations about the proverbs and it was fairly easy to keep the conversation and answer the question properly. As time went on, creating more of the lit circles, you can see the improvement on my analyzation, not only in the slides but on my score sheet comments. This is, without a doubt, a skill that these work samples demonstrate I have
