3rd Quarter Reflection

So far, this quarter in US History, I have learned many new skills. I am getting better at multiple choice questions, finding primary sources and using them properly, and being able to analyze the research that I find online. I really liked when we analyzed the political cartoon because we were able to use our own and the authors perspective to describe what we thought the cartoon "meant." My favorite thing we did this quarter was watch the High Line documentary. I was so astonished by how innovated people are! I really would like to visit the High Line sometime. I also really like how we learn about the broad ideas first and then go into specific details about each topic. For example, we talked about innovation and progressivism and then got into specific details about the progressive era. Doing this helps me better understand what we are learning. Next quarter, I would like to be able to really understand all of the material from the reading ahead of time. Usually I read the section and answer the homework questions but I never truly understand what I am reading until the night before the test. This is a weakness of mine that I would like to change.
