**During the past few weeks:**
 * I have learnt about the Great Southern Land and the history of the first European settlement in Victoria.**
 * I most enjoyed the Humanities class on the comprehension worksheets involving reading a context about an explorer and answering the questions.**
 * My attitude has devoted itself towards learning and has also changed on a positive note from this class.**
 * My behaviour has helped me complete most of my work to the best of my abilities.**
 * My interim report in the subject wilI indicate that I have been up to date with my work and have been organised with my book and folders.**
 * The hardest task I have had to complete was the Greath Southern Land research essay, this is because a lot of research and effort to be put in to produce an essay.**
 * My workbook is clean and neat, although I do not stick the majority of my work into my book, I keep it separately in a folder where I file all my work and papers.**
 * My greatest strength is using an essay structure in a piece of writing, it helps me organise my ideas neatly and allows my essay to flow.**
 * The two areas of my learning that I want to focus on improving are:**
 * 1. Using the correct grammar and punctuation in my work.**
 * 2. Cramming all these significant historic dates into my head, so that I may use it for future references.**
 * I am happy with my progress through the year so far, but I am still improving on many areas of my organisation and work.**

The most important thing that I have learnt in Humanities in the past month is the first settlement in Melbourne that developed to become what it is today. I helped myself to learn by listening to the teacher and concentrated on my work when completing given tasks. When I eat sugar, I become euphoric and therefore I can not concentrate properly. I worked with Selman and Amanda. Both these people worked effectively with me and I found that we had an effective working relationship. My progress towards meeting my goals for this semester is advancing as I expected, however I still want to exelerate more in my learning

05/05/10. My goals for the rest of this semester are: 1. Pushing myself forward to a higher level than I currently am. I want to get the best marks that I can out of my high school reports. However, the only problem that I have in fulfilling this goal is that I have no competition or motivation. 2. I am wanting to achieve an 'A' in every subject possible for the mid-year reports. I need a good first semester report to create a good resume for the MHS entrance exam. I will focus on every subject possible and work to the best of my abilties. 3. Complete as much work as possible during class time. I want to put more effort into class time and use free time for other work. Though, I would have to be very dedicated to this goal to achieve it.

11/08/10 - **Add reflective comments to each of these questions.** Learning the foundations and skimming the top of Economics, I believe, is the most important aspect I have learnt through this semester. This helps us become aware of how our economy runs and the simplification of basic economic studies. I would make class more fun. Through my explanations I would try to make the class laugh and enjoy my explanations, adding simple jokes that will make the class more fun. By looking back at your work and see how you feel about it, although take time in order to carefully analyse your efforts. I believe that I am successful in Me & My World this Semester because I have completed my work with all my efforts. When I look back at my completed tasks, I feel proud of my work Every minute counts within this class, although lecturing at the beginning of every class takes away our learning time. We've heard it enough times that it could be predictable of what you would say at the beginning of almost every class of MW. Slacking. 1. To complete all set tasks with quality and all hard efforts. 2. To listen and remember the information explained in class by the teacher. Goal #1: 3/5 - I can always see a gap in my work after when I submit it to the teacher. Goal #2: 3/5 - I tend to forget the information explained at times, simply because it is sometimes not interesting - explaining topics would be more interesting if it more positive. Quite prepared, because I am choosing math and science subjects, in which I am very capable of. Although, dedication is required in order to achieve success.

14/09/10 ** // Copy and comment on the following: // **** a. Are you on-track to achieving your Semester 2 goals in this subject? ** Yes, I feel as though I am on-track to achieving my Semester 2 goals My World. I need to continue to work hard, organise my study time and use study time efficiently. The three most important things that I have learnt during Term 3 is the difference between rules and laws, applying these regulations to real life situations and learning a brief outline of economics and understanding how to market a product. There was not a single session throughout this term that I believe was the best. I believe that all lessons that were taught are equally important for knowledge and skills. Also, I try to work hard in every session and therefore, there is not much time to enjoy the sessions. I believe that I am making my way to my Homework habits, though I still have great room to improve my organisational skills. I tend to focus only on one subject for each night and I need to write up a time table to equally distribute the studies of each subject. I personally believe that I cannot “do my best” in anything in this subject, I am an average student in this class; I am striving to work harder and focus on my work. I believe that I do not have “high expectations” in this subject, I tend to slack off at times and I can always set a higher goal, somewhat that I can not achieve at times because it is out of my reach. I believe that I need to be motivated at times in order to stay on task, help me learn and improve my skills. There are also times when I am frustrated on a question that I cannot respond to, the teacher will be always there ready to give a response. Mostly, yes, I am near to satisfied with my progress and achievement in this subject. I have been recognised twice in the “Hall of Fame”, I feel quite proud of this, although there are other people who have been recognised more than me. Even though I feel a bit frustrated by this, I believe that it is very reasonable and that I deserve it only two. My teacher is always ready to lend a helping hand when a student is frustrated with their work. He makes students think of the issue by formulating questions to make students more clear of their viewpoints. He gives very good lectures that have meaning and are straight forward.
