Self assessment - 2nd Term
This second term, English
class has been amusing. Cristina teaches very well and clearly. In this term
what I liked most have been the activities with Clarissa.
I think my strength is
listening, because I like listening to songs.
And I think my weaknesses are
vocabulary and reading books.
What did I do well in this
term? I think I have paid attention in classes (I can do it better), I enjoyed
them, I have enjoyed with the activities with Clarissa, like why did you said that…? or the games
related with homonyms, homophones and homographs. The units I liked most have
been: Crime and law and Things you can do with your mobile phones.
In the third term I must do
more effort, especially in vocabulary, reading and writing. I also need to
improve speaking. I have enjoyed a lot with the projects about different
countries that my classmates have prepared.
In culture I have learnt about
Nigerian talking drums and about the two men who stole identities (Frank
Abagnale and David Hampton). Outside the class I did my project and homework,
and I listened to English music.
Next term I have to improve my
English and my results.
I like most…

In English, Clarissa´s
activities and Cristina´s project.
In Geography, maps and
economy.
In Physical Education, badminton.
|
I didn´t like…

In Physical Education,

|
|

reading.

|
|
