Goal Setting

My Learning Styles

My strongest learning style is: InterpersonalThis means I learn most effectively when I’m working as a group or a partner. I like to discuss and debate with a lot of people. I don’t like to work by myself because when I don’t know something, I don’t have anyone to work with. Sometimes when I’m working by myself, I get really stuck on a question. My worst learning style is musical. This means you like to listen to music,play instrument,and like to compose music.

Writing

Spelling

What I can do now:1. Use correct punctuation,have even spacing,have correct heights in my words.2. Write a significant amount in my story and have a lot of adjectives.

My next steps:1. Add more speeches because I don’t have a lot.2. Also using similes,metaphors,and more adjectives to make my story more interesting and cooler.

What I can do now:1. Get high scores most of the time because I sometimes look at my

spelling notebook in the bus.

Teacher Comment

Miyu has had a great quarter 3. She impressed her classmates with a well-spoken presentation about the Ainu of Japan recently, and also her Medieval Castle Podcast. Her work attitudes have remained strong and in many ways Miyu is a model student.Keep up the great work Miyu!
