Reflecting On My Progress in Biology 11

1. What are you proud of so far in Biology? Give specific examples (3?) of your "best" work. Why did you choose those pieces?
===So far I am proud that I have been able to complete all of my assignments in Biology. My best work is the classification project because I feel like I independently understood it and my partner (Chiedza) and I were very creative. Another project that I feel I put a lot of effort into is my natural selection web. Me and my partner really tried to puzzle together the correct sequence. The third thing I am proud of is my blog. I put effort into explaining my posts and making them look professional. I try to make my blog look organised and easy to navigate for others with clear titles and complete ideaséthoughts.

2. Look through your binder - what does your binder say about your work habits? Do you have incomplete work? Is it organized and easy to access? Have you kept up with the work that has been assigned?
===My binder contains handouts, worksheets, notes, assignments, and study tools. My binder shows that I have identified my learning style and do alternates in place of worksheets that don`t necessarily progress my learning. I have no incomplete work besides some colouring worksheets. In each unit I have made up supplementary notes to compensate. I have dividers to separate the units with all of the work accordingly. Everything has a date which makes it easy to access. I have tried my best to keep up with assigned work and think I have succeeded.

3. Look at your blog - what blog posts (&/or comments) mean the most to you so far and why?
===The blog post that means the most to me so far is part 2 of my `Viruses` post. This is because I was genuinly interested in the virus Cholera and found it interesting to learn the origins and details of the virus. Another post that is particularly interesting is the `Peculiar Animal` one. I like this post because the pug is such a cute animal which sparks my interest into why it looks the way it does. Also, I was never really fond of dogs or any domestic animals until learning their history.

4. What does engagement in class mean to you? What are some examples of you being engaged and contributing to learning?
===Engagement in class means completing work, answeringé asking questions, and being self directed during assignments. I always try to ask questions of things I am unsure or curious about and try to work independently while completing assignments.

5. Do you have any goals / improvements / hopes for the rest of the semester in this class?
===I hope to continue completing all of my work and improve on focussing during computeréI-Pad work. I hope I can continue to understand all of the concepts and balance the class with everything else.
