Exam Study Plan

First I should study my quizzes papers from third quarter and see what I need to work on.
From forth quarter I need to review the quizzes and papers.

Nervous Conditions was a big topic we went over so I would review the plot and characters that had a large impact.

For more specific purposes:

Thursday: Start studying all the things that are most unfamiliar to me. Maybe start with rhetorical situations.

Friday: Begin finding mistakes on my papers and correct them to further understand what I am doing wrong.

Saturday: Review Key vocab from all the topics we have covered

Sunday: Review everything til I know it well.

Monday: Review still unfamiliar topics.

Fourth Quarter

My fourth quarter has been one of the best quarters I have had this year. I have been really prepared for this quarter and I have gotten used to the amount of work we have. I have been pretty much prepared for class because i brought all me supplies to school when it was needed. I guess I could have taken better notes and participated in more class discussions. I believe I work really well with groups and i have always liked group work.

This quarter, compared to the other quarters, has been acceptionally better. I think the reason is because I wasn't really prepared for the class as well. Also the work load we have done has been very different for me, but I have gotten used to it and I appreciate it more and more.

Reading Response 5/7/12

I have read many books over my ninth grade year. More than I normally do. In turn I have learned that I am a decent reader. I didn’t read any extremely large books but I read books that were a good size. I had always known I was not the strongest reader. Before this year I never read much. Therefore I knew what my strengths in reading were. I am surprised i even read some of the books I did. I don’t normally like those books.

I haven’t really thought of outside reading being compared to the papers we write. After we read Nervous Conditions however, I was kind of interested in Post-colonial Literature. I am still reading The Death Cure but I think my next book will be Barefoot Running, which was given to me by my cross-country coach.

Macbeth Character Perspective

From what Macbeth does on stage, his tone, and his facial expressions, i believe that Macbeth does want to be king at one point. When The Weird Sisters tell him that he will be king, he becomes more anxious and wants to become king faster. But he gets to thinking that since he will be king already he should just wait it out. His actions change when he realizes there are two people in line before him to be king.

The Night he kills King Duncan his stage performance and his tone changes. He becomes a nervous wreck and is very jumpy when he hears the slightest noise. I don't know how, but in that morning he changes again from a nervous wreck to someone who is calm and focused. He has many shifts in his actions and personality that i wouldn't be surprised if he changes yet again.
