Now that the first marking period is coming to a close, do you think this course has been what you expected?  I think that now that the marking period is over everything that was told to me at the beginning ended up happening and it’s what I expected. 
Are you happy with your academic performance this marking period?  I am not happy with my academic performance because I feel like I didn’t put forth all of my effort this marking period.  One assignment I failed to complete this marking period is my paper about my novel and because of that I know I failed this marking period. 
Things that I learned this Marking Period
·         How to critique media
·         Write an effective essay
·         Write an effective thesis statement
·         How to manage my time
In what ways do you think you’re becoming more college ready?  I think I’m becoming more college ready by being on my own all the time in this course.  Also I’m becoming more college ready by creating my own schedule for when I will get my work done and I have to abide by my schedule. 
What was the goal you set for yourself last week?  Were you successful or not?  Explain.  Last week I was unsuccessful in setting a goal for myself. 
What is one short term goal you can set for yourself for the coming week?  One short term goal I can set for myself in the coming week is improving my grade next marking period.
