This has definitely been an interesting year and another step forward in terms of my work which I will present today.
It really doesn’t seem like it’s been a whole year especially with the last few months all done through online schooling so I actually forgot about the majority if the work that I have available in my portfolio to present. I think one of the best recent examples of me stepping out of my comfort zone to do work came from the poetry unit we did way back in winter. This unit is something I was quite honestly terrified of going into, as poetry, especially the beat poetry that we focused on is a huge reflective piece on who you are and what emotions you put into it.
Presenting my poetry or heck, even writing some in the first place was always something I didn’t enjoy. I found it hard to get used to but eventually managed to go on the stage at the cantina night and presented a few pieces of writing that I’d spent a few weeks developing. While they didn’t have the word choice or themes that other people used that must have needed tons of planning and thought, I still feel like my work was a step forward for myself and am satisfied with what I presented despite my pre existing fears of presenting that kind of stuff.
Another thing that I think Ive been handling well is the swap to online schooling. I already struggled to check showbie and all of that stuff as is before so changing to full online had me nervous about how my productivity would hold up. I think that for the most part I’ve done a pretty good job during these times and have for the most part done all the work required. Using what we have been doing in PGP over the last year I think has definitely kept me on track and has been really useful.
Something that I think I could have done better is the overall quality of my work. I think that when I really try to just get something in the quality dips pretty obviously. Revision can fix a bunch of these mistakes but I also believe that I need to spend more time on the overviewing stage of my work to make sure that the quality is always good.
That concludes my tpol for grade 11 and I hope to improve to my fullest for grade 12.
