Semester 2 Goals

1. I feel that I am different now than from the beginning of school because now I have a better understanding of how to organize your work time when you are working in a project. I learned this from my use of task lists on the Time Travelers Project. This really helped me and my group plan out what we were going to do over the course of that day.

2. I think a very important skill that you must have for succeeding in humanities is being able to understand and analyze what you are reading. I had trouble doing this for the last book we read (Gates of Fire) and when it came time to study for the test I had trouble figuring out what to do.

3. One thing I would like to improve on this semester is turning in all my homework (even the little things) on time. I am going to do this by immediately putting the assignment in the front of my binder once it is passed out, and that way when I get home I will do the homework first thing.

4. One topic I am really curious about is Medieval times. I would really like to study this because I don't have that much prior knowledge on it and I would like to study it more in depth.
