PD 3 ENGLISH 10 HONORS
Above is a Wordle with your focus words from last week. A wordle is "a visual depiction of the words contained in a piece of text". The above wordle makes the words used most often larger. This means that more people in our classes selected those words as focus words. (note, I forgot to collect focus words in several classes, so this does not display every single word selected. Sorry!)
Using the above list, select one word that you think is the most important word to drive our class this year. In the comments section, please answer the below questions about your word.
Your response should be at least 5 thoughtful sentences.

Knowledge- The state or fact of knowing. It makes me think of the guy who's sitting in his garage with bookcases behind him talking about knowledge. Without knowledge you can't be extremely smart. personally it means to have at least common sense. My goal for this year is to gain more knowledge.

Cooperation- Without cooperation, not much would get done. That is why this word is important, to me, and i hope to the rest of the class . When we all cooperate together, it makes life and work much more enjoyably. It makes me think about another word in the wordle, that of teamwork. These words make me hope for and think of a better functioning machine, which is able to get its work finished in a reasonable amount of time.

Creativity. We all have creativity in our mind and use it everyday. If it is to draw a picture or make a board game. However, we can use it on writing. When we write our essays, it should be creative and informative. Not bland and useless. Creativity is a good way too express our mind.

Focus- getting the job done in a timely manner. It makes me think of a group of people all sitting down together and getting a project done while still having fun. Focus and English class go together because while I know that this year is going to be fun, we will still have to focus and stay on task so that we can learn and prepare ourselves for the next few years.

Accomplishment; This makes me think of succeeding and doing well in everything. I think that this is relevant to English class because you have to accomplish a lot to become successful and that is my goal. This word means a lot to me because I love to accomplish good things. My goal for this year is to accomplish good work, good essays, good test scores, and overall a good year,

Hardworking- If this class is to be successful, then everyone must work hard. If we do not work hard, then we will not accomplish anything. Furthermore, we will have poor grades if we do not work hard. The harder we work, the more we will learn, and the more we learn, the smarter we become. Overall, hardworking is the most important focus word for this class.

commitment- A promise to do what is right. This word makes me feel confident in knowing that if you have a commitment that you will follow through. You use this word everyday simply by saying you'll have your homework done by the due date. Sometimes it is even as simple as keeping a promise to your friend to follow through with plans you made together. My goal for this year is to continue keeping my promises and being committed to everything i do.

Respect- A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. Respect makes me think of old people your parents always tell you to be nice to. If no one respected each other, we wouldn't all get along to achieve a goal. I associate it with my teachers, because if you aren't respectful to them you wont get anything done. My goal this year is to be more respectful to my peers.

Determination means a firmness of purpose, meaning you are willing to put forth the effort. I think this word is important especially in an honors class because it shows that the hard work and dedication is there. If you're not determined to do what you need to do to pass, it will greatly affect your future. This word means something to me because without determination, I wouldn't have made it to where I am today. Being determined to work to the best of your ability and focus on the important things will guarantee success.

Inspiration- Inspiration is something positive that plays a huge role in English class. All literary works are inspired by something, whether it is another piece of literature, a memory, a film they saw, or maybe a piece of art. Writing happens a lot in this class, so you have to pull your ideas and inspiration from somewhere. Without it you would have no paper. Saying this I want to be more creative in where my inspiration comes from when it comes to writing this year.

Dedication. This word makes me think of continuing even when I don't want to. It will help me with maintaining straight A's. Also with playing sports it takes dedication to do homework even after getting home late on game nights. Out of school it will take dedication to continue to not only maintain but improve upon my soccer skills for club. Overall I think this word has a postive, motivational connotation.

Commitment: Commitment makes me think of starting something, and not giving up. I associate this word with English class because when you are writing an essay, or writing at all. You may give up on your ideas or get bored with your ideas, but if you are committed, you are less likely to give up, and you'll have a successful year. Personally, this word means to keep going and never let yourself down.This word is helping with this school year because I plan on really succeeding with school this year, and I can't succeed if I'm not committed.

Motivation - having a desire to do something. This has a positive connotation and we need to have motivation in English class. We need to be motivated to do our homework and class work so we can pass. I hope that I will be motivated to keep my grades up.

Commitment- We all in this class have to have some commitment in order to get through school. You need to be committed to yourself and this English class with your schoolwork. Homework is a big commitment in this class you are expected to do it and turn it in. Ms. Gearhart expects us to be committed also because we are in honors and we chose to be in this class. Without your commitment to everything you do in this world you might just become unsuccessful so just don't give up on your self and work hard in this class and everything else you do.

Determination-Our class, as an honors class, should be determined to do our best work. With firm belief, our class should want to push harder and rise above the expectation held over our heads of being an honors class. We should never give up or give in on the amount or difficulty of our work. As a class, we should always try our hardest to be solution driven and help each other out before we give up.

Cooperation- Cooperation is important because without it, we wouldn't be able to have fun doing basic work. We would also not have many friends because its a way people come together and bond. Cooperation makes school an enjoyable place to be for students and teachers. It makes me think of creativity because everyone has their own ideas. I think cooperation is important in everyone's life because it allows us to connect with others.

teamwork- Teamwork is very important for our class because it is the only way we can succeed. No one can do everything by themselves, that is why they have their classmates. As a class we can accomplish anything as long as we work together. We win as a team, and lose as one.

Creativity- creativity is essential to an English class especially when it comes to essays. If our class isn't creative then there aren't any other point of views to go off of. You can analyze some writing by yourself, but that doesn't always mean it will be the best. Someone might have a better idea than you, and you wouldn't be able to use that or improve any of your work in the future off of that better idea.

Determination- firmness of purpose. This word makes me think of someone who doesn't let a little ounce of pressure bother them, but instead they believe in themselves that they'll do things right and give their best shot to things. I associate this word with school because when you first walk through the building you are determined that you are going to do great in classes, that you won't let anyone or anything bring you down. This word for me means that as long as long as you come with the perspective of doing well, you WILL do even better. My goal is that I am determined to do better in classes that I didn't really try my best in.

Creativity-Since this is an English class, and we do it a lot of writing and analyzing it is very important to be creative so you can think of things that other people may not think of or so that your writing will be unique, and other people can learn from you as well as you learning from others.

Persistence- I feel like if you don't have persistence then you won't be able to accomplish anything. It makes me think of having to try several times before I get something the way I want it. I think this is good for your class, because it means we won't give up on something, because it is too hard. We will try until we get it right.
