  8. What did you enjoy about class this marking period? Why? Please refer to specific activities, projects, workshops, etc.

    This marking period is a memorable moments in my life. First of all, I really like the topic about being a whistle-blower. It teaches me a lot of stuff about the whistle-blower. Honestly, I rarely go to a play. However, the last time I went to theatre with this class was fun and interesting.

    What didn't you enjoy and why? Please be specific.

    Almost nothing I did not enjoy in this class. However, if I have to mention at least one thing that I did not really enjoy was to write a monologue. It was really useful and I enjoyed it but not as enjoyable as other activities.

    Do you feel you have changed in any way as a result of your participation in this class? If yes, how?

    Fortunately, I do feel a change in my participation in this class. I became more involved and I did more activities and community service events as before. I also enjoyed more than I did before.

    Were there any activities/projects/topics that I didn't cover that you want us to cover?Which ones?

    Honestly, you pretty much covered every topic that I wanted us to cover. Thank you for that.
    What can I do to make the class better for you (aside from no homework J )? Please be specific.

    I think it would be great if you can give us more community service opportunities and the class can go together. Other than that, everything goes perfectly.

    What advice can you give to your classmates to make their experience in this class more meaningful?

    I would suggest them to do more of community service. Honestly, community service is very important for every student. It enriches our experience and also knowledge of helping others in the community. Therefore, I strongly recommend my classmates to be more involved in the community.

    Where are you doing community service? How many hours have you done so far? What have you learned or gained from volunteering?

    My main community service that I am staying with is the Student Government. I am doing a bunch of stuff with the school, principal, teachers, and the student organization to provide a great service for the school.

    The activity that I enjoyed during this marking period was the tableau making workshop about the Enemy of the people. It was fun and we actually had to be creative and thoughtful.
    What didn't you enjoy and why? Please be specific.
    There’s not really a specific thing that i did not enjoy because overall i like the class, after i think about it , I didn’t really enjoy writing to my buddy, i might sound a little rough, but she’s boring.
    Do you feel you have changed in any way as a result of your participation in this class? If yes, how?
    Yes, i think i have changed in my own personal way of thinking, viewing the people around me and also being a little less judgemental.

    In term of activities i can’t think of any specifically, i’ll let you for sure if i would like to cover any.
    What can I do to make the class better for you (aside from no homework J )? Please be specific.
    I think the class is perfect just the way it is, personally I have done everything that i needed to do i don’t think it could be any better.
    What advice can you give to your classmates to make their experience in this class more meaningful?
    One advice that I have for my classmates to make their experience in this class more meaningful is that they should go out there and practice everything they have learned, they should remember facts so they will make right choices in life.
    Where are you doing community service? How many hours have you done so far? What have you learned or gained from volunteering?
    Usually i do community service at the library located in my neighborhood almost every saturday. So far i think i’ve done over 30 hours. Well one thing that i’ve gained from volunteering is me being a little more patient and devoted than i used to be.

  23. Well, the activity that i most liked was the meeting with our buddies from st lukes at newcomers HS library. it was really fun sharing ideas with our buddies, making posters, enrolling in exciting conversations with them. i also enjoyed the trip to manhattan watch the play “an enemy of the people” . i almost forget... the sensei movie was the best of this MP
    However,i did not like the visits that often were made by jenny because she was so strange
    Yes, now i like more helping our society to avoid bad things such as bullying, lack of education and others
    I would like to do an activity about water pollution because i am very worried about people’s health
    Nothing special,just keep doing as good as you have done it so far.
    Guys, do your homework and study because it is everything that will decide your future.
    Well, last time i did community service it was in st lukes school for Christmas fair. i have done 28 hours so far. i have learned that children are the wonderful human beings in the world.
    From class this marking period, one thing i will take is sharing feelings and one thing i will give i
