First Economics Term

–Results:

My results were ok. I almost over did the first test and I write too much in the time given. I had got almost full marks for the first three questions. I got a Merit. I could have got a Excellence if I had managed my assesment time and answered the last question as best I could. I had run out of time by the timei had started the final question and wants able to get the better grade.

The second test I didn’t concentrate on answering the questions as well as I should have. I waffled a bit but still answered the basis of the question. I didn’t get the marks I needed to get the same result as last time. I probably didn’t do as much I should have during the test. I got an achieved and I’m happy that I did pass and it is now learning point for my future tests.

–Behaviour

My behaviour has been fairly good I haven’t been a bad boy or done anything that I shouldn’t be doing in class. I complete my work as best I can and do what I am told. I mostly have a positive attitude and understand the work as best I can. I always try and use my mañaaki orewa spirit and do the right thing. I show respect to myself, others and the enviorment. 

–Improvement

I need to improve my comprehension skill. I need to read the question fully and try to understand exactly how to answer the question correctly without wetting in thing is don’t need. I can improve my time management skills as well so that during the tests I can complete each and every question to the best and fullest in order to get the best marks possible to me.

Economics SMART Goals

These are my SMART goals for Economics this year:

SMART =

S = Specific (what) M = Measurable (when) A = Achieveable (how) R = Realistic (why) T = Think (who)

S = I want to achieve some high standard grades for economics. Excellence is my target but if I am having trouble and get a merit I will be happy with that. If I get achieved then I know I have to work a bit harder so I can upgrade my grade next time.

M = I will do my work when it is given to me. My homework will be done ASAP and be completed for the due date. During class I will keep up with the rest of the class and make sure not to fall behind in my work. If i do fall behind I will make sure I catch up in my own time. I will use my fellow class mates to help if it is needed.

A = I will achieve my marks by doing extra work to make sure I fully know what I have to know in order to get the grade I want. I will complete the work in class and ask questions on anything I don’t understand so that I learn. I will use qualities such as the grade cycle (Gathering, Processing, Applying) to achieve. I will show Mañaaki Orewa in class towards fellow classmates and my teacher so that I get the best possible learning experience.

R = I want to do these things and achieve well because I have little idea on what I want to do when I get a career. So doing my best in school now will give my more options when I am looking for a job career. I also like to do well because doing so makes me fell proud of myself. 

T = For me to achieve my SMART goals it is up to myself to do well and accomplish what I would like to accomplish. My goals are wants and I have the means to get them. This is becasue they are more like necessities to me and I need to do my best and try my hardest. My classmates are involved I have to be able to work in Paris and groups for some tasks so social skills are required. Mr Stevens is also involved in giving me the means to demand what mark I want on my assessments. Most importantly it is my job to succeed all this.
