Nonfiction Writing Reflection

January 29, 2026 /

What did we do? 

We made a nonfiction essay describing and analyzing differences between the original novel and the film adaptation of “The Giver” by Lois Lowery

What have we been learning? 

We learned about academic essay organization, and how to write a strong a strong introduction paragraph with a interesting hook. We also learned how to write strong thesis statements and how to write strong body paragraphs with clear transitions like; however, whereas. We were taught how to write a strong conclusion paragraph and closing thoughts.

What’s Working:

Some things that are working are the body paragraphs because I can compare the differences between the novel and the book and really show how it takes away from the overall story. Also the Magic School AI chatbot helped me improve my writing by pointing out some mistakes and giving me some suggestions on how to start the opening hook which is usually the most difficult part of the writing process. Also working with a peer in this case Morpheus really showed me how I can improve my writing because his writing was very well structured and he gave me some very good suggestions.

Areas for Growth:

I think a area for growth is my transitions because I used one of my transitions incorrectly and I think I can really improve on that by using it in a more advanced way. dealled with this by asking magic school and my peers for help on how to use it correctly. The least favorite part of my essay is probably my closing statement because it just bothers me because I feel I could have done better but I could not think of any way to improve it.

Personal Relevance:

This essay really opened my eyes to the various ways artificial intelligence can improve our work in daily life and writing. This taught me how to write. proper nonfiction essay with all the components needed and I can use this for multiple things later on in life and in collage.

Semester 1 Report Card Reflection Post

January 28, 2026 /

I did well in math and chinese because I was very serious about those classes but I can improve in language arts and social studies by listening more. I chose language arts because I know I can improve in language arts. I can improve by listening and being a critical thinker by really focusing to what the teacher is saying. I will in class focus on what the teacher is saying and use critical thinking to apply it in class.

Semester 2 SMART Goals

I am going to focus on listening and paying attention in class a bit more I will measure my goal by seeing how much my grade has improved by me focusing more. Some actions I will take to help achieve my goals is by reminding myself to focus and watch the teacher when speaking and having a focused mindset. This goal is realistic because it is simple and not difficult to accomplish. I will track my goal every week and I am to reach my goal in 2 months from now.

Endangered Species Portfolio Reflection

January 26, 2026 /

What new information did you learn about Endangered species?

A piece of new information which really shocked me was people where using animal parts and bones to create medicine which I haven’t really thought of a threat because its not as common as something like habitat loss. And speaking of habitat loss I did not expect wild fires to be a threat to amur leopards all the way in frigid east russia. I found out that amur leopards forests and territory are burned down by farmers to clear out land for agriculture.

What new skills did you learn doing this project?

I learned how to be very resourceful and look deeper, I had to use these skills when searching for my graph of the amur leopards because there were few graphs and they where in websites and difficult to find and I had to ask ai for sources and and had to find the reliable sources and fact check them with their dates and numbers.

PE Football

What did we do?

In this unit we trained basic skills and played small sided games and improved our in game thinking and reactions and we learned to play as a team.

What was fun about this unit?

We got to play a lot and actually train our skills in matches and would have a lot of free will to play in the matches and learned how to switch sides with the ball to change the tempo of the match.

Swimming

We did a lot of swimming from one side to another trained our from a lot by making us every single class swim from one side to another.

We also learned ot do snorkling with snorkel masks and flippers and learned how not to choke and we did paddle boarding and learned how to control it and make as fast as possible.
