Final Reflection

       The three most important things I learned this you in ELA was, how to write blogs with correct grammar. For the school year  my teacher taught me to make sure that I have correct puntctuation  in my paragraphs. She has also taught me to annotate books so I understand things clearly. Lastly she has taught me to use my time effectively. I think the most valuablre thing I learned was to use my time wisely, I always procrranstine  or find a way to being off task. Knowing that my assignment is due the next day I try to do as much work as possible. 

           One thing I will always remember is our Holocaust unit. Reading the memoir of Elie Wiesel was very interesting to read about. I will never forget his story of how he survived a concentration camp. His heart breaking story taught me not top wait for things to happen and to fight for what is right me and for others. When we read the poems from the children in the camps, which led us to our butterfly projects. My poem "Terezin" was aboutt how the families were fooled to believe in something better, and that they were slowly dying. "Wanting a badge of blindness To be a proof for their own children." (Lines 5-6) "And the cannons don't scream and the guns don't bark And you don't see blood here. Nothing, only silent hunger." (Lines 12-14)

Out of all the books I've read this year I would choose "Notes From the Midnight Driver", I think it is a very relatable book for teens that are going through similar experiences. I think that the book funny jokes, and many great characters. Personally my favorite character is Solomon Lewis, he's my favorite because of. His background story and how he can relate to the main character. I would definitely reccommend the book to other students.
