English II Final Writing
A student deciding his/her own grade? How outrageous; that is crazy. My grades have been from a C to a B range. For my final grade for this class I believe I deserve a B because I would try my best to participate in class and understanding most of the class lessons.
I think you probably think I deserve a C for this quarter because I’ve been slacking a lot and how I can do so much better. I have not turned in my villanelle and sonnet on blogger but I still have time to turn it in. I know I’ve begun to do less than what I usually do but I still understand what’s going on in class. I don’t think you should give me a C because I give a lot effort still.
I deserve a B because I would try my best to participate in class. I would raise my hand when you ask us to share our journals. I would share my thoughts on something we just went over. Also when we have an art gallery walk, I would usually keep my hands because I had something to share with the class. By participating in class it helps show that I’m actually learning in class.
Another reason why I deserve a B is that I understand most of the lessons that you teach. For example when we learned the Greek and Latin prefix and suffixes I got an A on most of them. I understand how to write a paper now. On my papers that I write I give a good hook and thesis statement. I’m still improving on how to analyze the text and summarizing the story. This is why I think I deserve a B.
In conclusion, I think I deserve a B because I try my best to participate in class and understand most of the lessons. By participating in class it shows that I understand what’s going in class. All of your teaching and lessons were very easy to understand. So Mr. Allam what do you think I deserve in your class?
