metacognition journal.

1. The in class activities have improved my learning and understanding of macbeth. The discussions we have are really helpful and they help me get a different perspective on what i think.
2. Blogging is a really different and a unique approach to learning, and I think its a really good idea. If im on my computer talking to friends, i can do my homework at the same time. This method in my opinion is just adjusting to the times. We are in a time of technology, and this shows how we are adjusting. The class activity that helped me understand macbeth was where we took a passage and translated it into modern english and explained what it meant.
3. My growth as a learner has been positive, and a specific example is the postcard. Before blogging and learning about this stuff, I could not have done a response as in depth and thoughtful as the postcard, but now that I've grown as a learner, i can write things like that. My goal for next term is to keep blogging and keep having fun and get an A!
4. One of my strengths in my opinion is bringing 100% to each class and each assignment. The one thing i want to improve on is getting all the assignments done however. I have missed one assignment and i would like to improve on that. A challenge is really understanding the story of macbeth, and a specific example is the passage we took from the story. It didn't make any sense at first, and it made macbeth really confusing, however once we took a deeper look at it, i better understood the story.
