This semester, I had a great time getting to peer tutor Mr Kim’s block 4 Science 9 class, here is a summary of my learning experience this semester.

Precalculus 11 Core Competency Self Reflection
Chemistry 11 – Midterm Reflection
I have had strengths and weaknesses throughout the course of chemistry 11 so far. during our first unit on the atomic theory, a strength I had was being able to consistently write the proper electron configurations for the elements. A weakness I had from this unit was figuring out which elements have the higher first ionization energy. During our second unit with bonding, a strength I had was being able to draw the correct VSEPR diagrams for molecules. Something I struggled with was figuring out if the bond between atoms was polar or non polar, and depending on how the VSEPR shape could mean the atoms surrounding the central atom could cancel out. From our unit on the mole (so far) I am good at being able to write the steps out properly and solve an equation with unitary rates. something I would like to improve at is being able to write answers with the correct amount of sig figs. I will try to get better at my weaknesses by practicing them more often and asking questions if I need help.
Here are the rubrics of where I evaluated myself
Peer Tutoring 11 – Midterm Self Assessment And Reflection
Here is my midterm assessment and reflection for peer tutoring 11.
Final Self Assessment And Goal Reflection
After the first half of the semester my goal was to have more organized notes and be more organized in general. I was able to achieve this goal. A way I was able to stay organized was by making a list of the things I had to get done with the due dates for everything and when I would have time to complete them. This really helped contribute to my organization skills because I knew what I had to do and I could manage my time accordingly. I also was able to keep my notes better organized and was able to effectively use them to study for tests. Overall I think I achieved my goal but I do believe I can continue to improve at this in the future.
Core Competencies Self-Assessment – PROCESS
Here is my English self reflection, in this self reflection I explain my strengths, what I can improve at in the future and how to do so.
My Strengths
Something I am good at is using the PEEL method when writing paragraphs to communicate my ideas in an organized and well flowing way. I can find sufficient evidence to further prove what I am trying to say and I have learned how to properly integrate quotes. At the beginning of the year I had a lot of dropped quotes, but I know now how to incorporate them smoothly. I thoroughly understand the components of the PEEL method and can successfully use them to write paragraphs.
Examples Of My Strengths
I know this because I can see the difference between the paragraphs I wrote at the beginning of the semester and the paragraphs I write now. At the beginning of the semester my paragraphs did not flow as well as they do now and as I mentioned previously, I did not integrate quotes properly.
My Goals
Something I can get better at is not being repetitive in my paragraphs, and expanding on my points more. That way I can have a better quality of content in my paragraphs, making them stronger overall.
My Plan
To achieve this goal, I will read over my paragraphs an extra time to check if I am being repetitive, and if so, expand my thinking more to be more in depth with my information. This way it will become a habit and the quality of my writing will continue to get better.
Midterm Self Assessment And Goal Setting – Science
The Pillar I chose To reflect on is personal responsibility. Some of my strengths are consistently attending class prepared for what we are learning. I regularly check one note and teams in order to know what we are doing in class each day so that I am organized. I also always make sure all my work is done and completed to a good quality. Another one of my strengths is being able to ask questions that help me clarify certain things. and be able to learn from my mistakes.
Something I would like to improve on in the future is using the legend in one note to mark my work. At certain times I just move on after I complete a question on a worksheet instead of making sure it is right, and fixing it if it isn’t. This will help me learn how to trace my mistakes and notice them so that I will not make them again. I will do this by when I have time, checking my answers and making sure they are right before moving on.
A goal I have is to write out my work more clearly and be more organized overall. As it is I write out all my steps, however sometimes it can get a bit messy and hard to read. I am going to try and make everything smaller and write it out in an organized way so that there is no confusion when it comes to reading my work. This will also make it easier to reference later on while I am studying. I could use different colors to refer to different things. this will help me study more easily and overall be more organized. By the end of the semester I will make all my future notes more organized and keep them in a folder so they are easy to access and not get lost.
PHE 10 Core Competency Reflection
This Core Competency Reflection is based on my personal awareness and responsibility in PE.
Core Competencies Self Assessment – CLE
Here is my core competencies self assessment for CLE after the first half of the semester.
Core Competencies reflection
Strengths
I am good at vocabulary building for example when we are starting a new story I am able to learn the vocabulary easily by practicing the quizlets that Signora Durand posts on one note. I am also good at writing proficiency for example during our class writes I am able to remember the vocabulary and sentences structures causing me to be able to write a completed story. I can interactively communicate with other students for example when we are doing our skits for the stories I am able to help plan them effectively with my group members.
Examples and Evidence of My Strengths
I know that I am good at these things because I study hard for the tests and I practice my lines for the skits, when I study for these things I am able to remember the information I learn and retain it when it is time to. I find that studying using the quizlets helps because you can actively study with flashcards instead of reading over the same thing over and over until I remember it all. This helps me be successful with whatever I may be doing because I am able to memorize the structures.
My Goals
I can get better at pronouncing certain words, because sometimes when I am speaking in Italian I end up mispronouncing some words. I could also improve at memorizing all my lines in the skits and eventually be able to go and present the skit without looking at the cue card. Another goal I have is for me to get better at grammar and not make errors when I’m writing or speaking in Italian.
My Plan to Reach My Goals
To reach my goals I will practice my pronunciation of words I am unsure how to say, and if I need help knowing how to pronounce something, I can ask for help. To remember my lines for the skits I can practice them more so that I can remember them when it’s time to present. If I ever am unsure about my grammar or pronunciation I can ask Signora Durand about it.
