Weekly Reflection

I prefer a not so structured classroom because self directed learning is a good way to learn how to be independent.   I think self directed learning has made me even more independent, I was already independent but self directed learning showed me that being independent can teach you a lot of things.  This week I have achieved two water colour artworks, which I really like the look of.  This week although I haven't really thought of my personal inquiry I will most definitely take some action on it next week.

Rapunzel Sentence

Sentence:  She scolded him fiercely for daring to enter and steal from her garden


My Version:  The cold mysterious rotten smell filled the warm air.  As the dead Autumn leaves crunched beneath his feet his eyes finally met with the mysterious ‘creature’.  Little did he know that it wasn’t a creature, it was indeed the owner. She scolded at him as if he had killed one of her loved ones.  Their neighbour had an old wrinkled face that terrified all of the villagers.

Weekly Reflection

This week has been a really productive week for me because I'm on top of everything.  Next week I am going to do more watercolour paintings, I'm going to do more on my personal inquiry.  My personal inquiry is way out of my comfort zone, I've never done anything like it before and I'm exited to get started.
