1) I am most proud of my "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" in-class essay because I was able to write an essay about my favorite book, and I feel like I did a really good job answering my essential question for the inquiry project. I feel like I was able to summarize the book in a nice way without being too redundant. I think I've become better at structuring my essays.
2) I think I've become better at reading books that I am not so interested in. For example, for my inquiry project I had to read the Scarlet letter, and although it was really hard to continue reading, I knew I had to read it or else I wouldn't be able to write my in-class essay. I also got better at understanding books like these because I started looking up helping online instead of just trying to figure out the answers myself, going around in circles, and staying confused.
3) I think I need to learn how to read more lengthy books without getting frustrated, especially ones with advanced vocabulary. I'm pretty good with vocabulary, but I think I need to expand my vocabulary a little more in order to prepare myself for college.
