That bit extra

Over this semester many tasks have been completed and feedback was given.

Superman has Kryptonite 
I have Literacy.

My literacy is not the greatest, however I am doing little bits and piece to slowly improve my literacy.
The feedback which I have received from my peers and my wonderful teacher relating to the areas which needs improvements are:

Speelling Spelling
Handwriting
Punctuation
Structure of essays



Things I have been doing to slowly progress.

Reading, reading and more reading. I have been reading books and magazines which I enjoy and I think this will help me with my spelling and my punctuation.

As a student the most important skill to have is to take down effect notes and the second is to be able to read it. My handwriting is messy I admit, however every time I get the chance I take my time writing my notes down slowly and correctly.

Task!

The Hurdle tasks!

Happy go Lucky

Good teacher or Bad teacher?

A film response on Happy go Lucky was completed on the second week.

From the feedback on my written response, I realized that my essay structures and spelling needed to be worked on. 

Learning style Presentation

In this section we learnt new skills to help us further understand the way we learn and our learning styles. I choose to unlearn and relearn my handwriting so it meets the Victoria Cursive standard.
