Entry 8: Metacognitive Reflection

1. Which steps of the process did you feel you accomplished most successfully? Why?
I think that I most successfully completed my two quotation analyses. I feel that the quotations I choose connected nicely with my novel and that I had lots to say.


2. Which steps of the process did you feel you accomplished less successfully? Why?
My grammar and some of my would choices were on the weak side.  


3. What strategies helped you complete this project successfully? How did they help?
It helped me a lot when I found great peace's of media that I could connect to my novel. It also helped that survival is such a common theme, and I had multiple different things I could discuss throughout the course of this project.


4. Look over your reading response journals, proposal and consider 1/2 project teacher-student interview. Overall, how successful do you feel you were on this project from start to finish?
I feel that I did an excellent job covering all the different sides of survival and death. I discussed multiple different things during each one of the activities so I was not mentioning that same thing over and over, which makes it much more interesting. I think that if someone was to read my tapestry project they could learn a few new things about survival. 


5. If you were asked to complete a project similar to this one, what might you do differently next time?
If I was to complete a project similar to this one again I would most likely to to mix up my vocabulary strait from the beginning so I do not have to go through it and try and change the words into stronger ones. This was my greatest struggle on this project. 


6. What did you learn about yourself as an English student, or as a student in general from completing this project?
I learned after completing this project that if I read a wonderful book such as The Hunger Games, that I quite enjoy connecting it to different forms of media. I have a feeling this is because I love discussing books that I enjoy. Also, writing about the different events in the book when I am comparing to different things helps me remember what happened in the book much easier, so this could possibly help me with memorizing or studying in the future.
