12 Grade English:

1. Of all of the books that we have read and studied this year, which has been your favorite and why?*

This year we read seven books and I liked Hamlet and the Kite Runner the most. Both of theses novels were very interesting and we could actually relate to the Kite Runner, Hassan and Amir grew up and the problems Hassan had to face because of Amir as he wasn't rich.

*N.B. We have read: Hamlet, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Persepolis, Moth Smoke, The Kite Runner, The Metamorphosis and Angela’s Ashes.

2. Of all of the books that we have read and studied this year, which has been your least favorite and why?

Of all the books that we have read this year, Metamorphosis has been my least favourite because that was one novel which was very confusing. Even after reading it twice I couldnt understand it well enough.

3. As a reader, what have you learned from Grade 12 English this year? What do you still need to work on?

As a reader, I have been reading these books with interest and I even make notes as I read, that makes it easier to understand the book. I have to work on the annotation at strong as its not that strong. I believe the best way to understand a book is to make notes for it.
4. As a writer, what have you learned from Grade 12 English this year? What do you still need to work on?

I have learned how to annotate properly and compared to last year my essay writing has been improved as I can write my essays in a shoter period of time. I need to work on improving my vocabulary. I have made my own blog and various other accounts for example on twitter, blogger and etc.

5. As a student, what have you learned from Grade 12 English this year? What do you still need to work on? (Here, you can think about such things as academic discipline, participation in class, working together as part of a group, making presentations, etc.)

As a student I have learned alot this year in English 12. I have learned about academic discipline, I have been participating in class way more than before. Apart from that working together and interacting with other students in the class has made my learning experience more effective. We even did presentations, which made me more confident than before now when I present I feel very comfortable.

6. Technology has been a major part of Grade 12 English this year. How do you think that your computer skills have grown and developed as a result? What would you still like to learn more about?

Yes, certainly technology has been a big part of our class this year, all of our work has been done on the computers. This was a very different experience as we had never used computers continously in any of our other classes. I have become a fast in typing and It has enhanced my knowledge about different websites and how to operate them and make my own accounts.

7. How do you plan to prepare for the final exam?

For my final exam I will read all of the novels again and will make notes which would help me to get a good understanding of the books basically it will be a review as we have already read these novels. I will compare these books with eachother which would give a better understanding of what overall these novels are about.

8. What lessons from Grade 12 English will you carry forward into the next stage of your academic journey?

A few lessons from Grade 12 English which I would carry are not to use google for writing any research papers as it dosent always give the accurate information. Another thing is that I would keep my laptop with me all the time, its very convienient to work on your own laptop.
