End of Quarter 1 Feedback

I think my two goals for humanities first quarter were met. I wanted to get some more words into my vocabulary and I wanted to learn to write better. I did get more vocabulary words this quarter, especially words about capitalism. Now I know a lot more words that I did before I came to this class. My second goal was also met because we did a lot of writing activities this quarter. Something that really helped me was the descriptive writing. I had to show instead of tell for that and that helped me.
One of me three new goals for the second quarter is to learn about Imperialism, especially in Africa. I have never really learned about Imperialism before because I've done mostly American history. I also want to learn about this because I know basically nothing about Africa. I've learned about all continents except for Africa, so I want to learn about Africa.
My second goal is to get better at Socratic seminars. The worst grade that I got in this class is from the Socratic seminars. I want to get better at those because they really got my grade down. I think I could start talking more and prepare better for the next Socratic seminar we have.
Mt third goal is to study more for quizzes and tests. I think the test was another thing that got my grade down a bit. I don't think I started studying early enough and then about a day before the test I had to cram a lot of studying in. As a result, I didn't do so well on the test.
