Today's Class

Today in class, the students had to present and break down a certain chunk from the book "Fahrenheit 451". Though my group did not get to present today, I found this assignment to be difficult. It was hard for me to break down my assigned chunk with my group. By the end of the class, the group knew and could summarize the chunk we were given. But, I was frustrated that I couldn't do it on my own. And I know that I wasn't the only one struggling because some of the groups that presented didn't do so well. I hope mine does well tomorrow even though my only job will be reading the text and making the annotations on the computer. The entire lesson was about annotating the text and breaking it down so you know what is going on. I struggled with this which was a wake up call for me. Even though I am considered college ready, I don't believe I am ready for college since I can't break down a high school text independently. I'm not worried though, I'll manage. Hopefully by next year, I'll be able to break down difficult texts on my own.
