First Semester Reflection



         It is the end of the first semester everyone, yeah, winter break here we come. For this blog I will look in the past at all the books I have read this semester. The books I have read were Divergent, Flags of our Fathers, Manuscripts found in Accra, Son of Two Bloods, The Study in Scarlet, and The Hound of the Baskervilles. The reason why I chose these books were because of multiple reasons. First being peer preferences, some of the books, like Divergent. Second reason is because of suspense, the suspense of figuring out who the murderer is. This appears in the Sherlock Holmes series. The last reason is well just for fun in reading something new, like the Son of Two Bloods and the Manuscripts Found in Accra.

        The posts that I made are also something that I would like to tell you about. When I first started blogging I wasn't sure of what to do, I made it seem like an actual assignment instead of something that is there to express myself. It took me until my 4th blog post to realize that I am taking this way to seriously.  Compared to the holistic rubric out of 6 the best I made would probably be a 3-4.

        Now the big question, how can I improve? I set myself three goals. First, I want to make sure that I include more of the prompts in my blogs, let it be thematic or character or any type. Second, I want to make sure that I be more open about my books, not just talking about the pros but also the cons. Lastly, I want to be able to make connections with my book, let it be the world or I.

       This are my thought son my progress during the first semester, I hope to hear from you the next.
