Persuasive Writing Self Evaluation

Surface Features- Great
Because there is no spelling or punctuation mistakes

Deeper Features- Good
Because my ideas are great and my sentances make sense. There is a couple of ideas in a parahgraph

Title & Intro- Good
The title describes the purpose of the writing.
The introduction has a hook that captures the audiences attention and makes them want to carry on reading

Organisation of the writing- Good
The hook captures the audiences attention so the reader reads on. The arguments are strong but could be stronger. The summary is good and it wraps the writing up.

Strength of Argument- Good
I am only writing about the topic. Most of the facts are true

Publication- Great
Because I have photos and a title that stands out from the writing

Key Competency Reflection 2007

Attributes I have shown progress in

• Technology - I think I have improved in technolgy this year because I have been a Tech Wizard and learnt things from other tech wizards.

• Active listening- I think I have improved heaps in listening because now I am listening and then asking questions if I need to. I am also respecting others more than I used to.

• Goal Setter- I think got better in goal setting and achieving the goals I know this because I have set lots of goals and I have improved heaps in the areas. Like my active listening goal.

• Respects- I think I have improved in this area because I have been listening and respecting others more when they are talking

• Reflects-I think I have improved in reflecting because I am doing quality reflections for my goals and things I have learnt.

Attributes I am still working on

• Self motivated- I think I have got better in this but still need a bit more work because I give up sometimes when things are getting to hard.
  
• Can put things into practice- I think that I am quite good at this because most of my goals that I set have been achieved.
  
• Maths- I think I have improved heaps in Maths because now I am understanding things better than I was.
• Contributes- I think I have improved in this but still need a bit more work because I give ideas most of the time but some of the time the ideas are a bit silly.

Reflection- Blog spelling should be correct

Surface Features on your blog should be correct?
True or False?
Why?
I think on all of the blogs the spelling should be correct because it is just like a book but it is online. If you know that there is Surface Mistakes you click the save now instead so only you can see it or put the word draft at the start of it.

Speech Reflection

I thought that my Speech went good because I spoke clearly and I looked at the audience. Next time I would vary my voice and slow down when I speak.

Term 3 Active Listening Goal- Reflection

I think that I have achieved this goal because I am now listening better and respecting others. I am still sharing idea not interrupting. I am also asking less questions because I have been listening better.

Reflection 18/9/07

Today I learned that if a frog jumps in a pool of hot water they will jump straight out, and if they jump in to a cold pool of water that isn heating up slowly they will wait till they get rescued. This is what is happening to the planet earth.
Becausae of this learning I now understand what will happen to the earth if we keep causing Global Warming.
The next step in my learning is to stop creating global warming.
