English Goals

I am most proud of creating a theme statement and backing it up with evidence from the text. Something I found challenging during the assessment was making unique inferences. One of my inferences somewhat repeated a previous inference. My strongest inference was finding a part of the text that supported how strong George and Lennie's relationship was. My theme statement for my written response was that it is important to set goals in your life in order to move on/persevere through life and that life is much easier to get through when you are not alone. It was effective because they were not cliches, so the reader could understand it in a different view and not immediately dismiss it. My text integration techniques were not that good. I could improve on inserting them in the middle of a sentence instead of stating them before analyzing them. Something I want to work on to prepare for the summative before October break is making unique inferences. While I could also improve on text integration, I think that unique inferences that are not repetitive are more important.
