English 11 Honours I Can Statement Write
on How would you describe yourself as an English student?
I would describe myself as a hit and miss English student. I would consider myself very competent in some areas of English, this would be including thinking critically on ideas or views of the story or topic, using information to organize my research using a variety of sources, and using writing and design processes to plan, and create well thought out pieces of writing. However, I struggle with poetry, and responding to texts in personal ways.
What should I know about you as an English student?
As an English student in high school so far, I was not in English 9 Honours or 10, this would make you think that I am at a disadvantage and will struggle with this course. However, this will partially be the case with our Poetry Unit, but I will succeed in units such as the Writing Unit, the Short Story Unit, the Novel Unit, and the Non-Fiction Unit. I will ask questions and clarify misinterpretations or wonders to my peers or the teacher. I am a student that asks a lot of questions so I will be sure to email you or ask in class whenever I can.
What are your strengths as an English student?
My main strength as an English student is that I can write essays and paragraphs very well, I enjoy writing persuasive essays. In History 12 this year, we had to write a film review essay based on the films historical accuracy. This was very easy for me and I had received a 93% on the assignment. We had to cite everything. This will make it easier citing in English 11 Honours to remember how to cite and put in paragraph citing. I enjoy reviewing books and or films using research at my disposal.
What would you like to improve upon as an English student?
In English 11 Honors, I would like to improve substantially in the Poetry Unit, as well as public speaking and or presenting information in front of my peers. I will improve on this by asking questions about Poetry to my peers and or teachers during the semester. I will also improve on my public speaking by practicing whatever I am presenting as much as I can, as well as practicing public speaking elsewhere.
Top 5 things I learned in Pre Calculus 11
on This year in Pre Calculus 11 I learned a lot.
#1 Perfect Squares
Perfect Squares have helped me a lot this year in Pre-Calculus 11, it was one of the first things that we learned in the course. I ended up memorizing the perfect squares from 1-15. Memorizing these set of numbers just generally helped me with certain types of equations, especially with our first and second unit which were Roots and Powers, and Radical and Radical Operations. Having a list of perfect squares in your head will be very helpful through all semi advanced levels of math without being able to use a calculator.

#2 Radicals
Radicals in math are very important. By using radicals as inverse operations to exponents, you can solve almost any exponential equation. Radicals are also another key building block to solving exponential equations, and helped me a lot during our first 3 units which were; Roots and Powers, Radical and Radical Operations, and Solving Quadratic Equations.
#3 Completing the Square
Completing the square put simply just made the course easier. Learning this in unit 3 helped a lot with our next unit Analyzing Quadratic functions. It can be challenging to learn at the start, but it is worth putting in the work to learn this skill. It mainly helped with Quadratic equations, being easier than the Quadratic formula but a lot harder than just factoring.
#4 Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions
Adding and Subtracting Radical Expressions is also another building block for other skills or concepts. In future courses, knowing how to add and subtract radicals will come in very handy as well as it helped solve any exponential equation that I have faced this course.
#5 The Cosine Law
The Cosine Law is one of the two laws that we learned this year in Pre-Calculus 11. The other law that we learned was called the Sine Law. The Cosine law is an important skill because of it’s use in real life. I had never heard of The Cosine Law before this unit, so it was interesting to learn about it.
