Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals

1. Domestic Violence 
2. I-Poly Citizen
        This year I made a promise to myself that I would show up to school on time because the past 3
        years I had a great deal of tardy slips from the office. As a I-poly citizen and to show grown in            ESLRS I plan on being more mature, and also to be more like a role model for lower grade
        level because I seen past seniors that haven't exactly "grown up" to the level I thought they
        should be on. An example would be participating in can food drives or red cross blood
         donation.I really want to participate in one of the senior year committees but between
        having to do 4 days a week for mentor ship, I will try and make room in my schedule.   

Effective Learner
   I promised myself to finish high school in a positive and high note. Beyond doubt I believe that I
   am capable of doing just that. Before senior year had begun, I promised myself that I would use
   time effectively in class and not procrastinate on any senior project. One problem that I use to
   have is not asking for help when needed, but this year is going to be different I could feel it. I
   plan on using my agenda this year, whats funny is each year I always get one but never use it but
   to be a effective learner I must.

Effective User of Technology
   I must say I consider myself pretty good with technology, I know the basics such as power points,
   emails, searching the web, etc. I am a pretty good problem solver when it comes to using
   technology, know a days everything in on the internet and its not that hard to figure it out. To be
   a effective user of technology I must go beyond that and learn skills that I haven't already such as
   I don't know what is a multimedia file or how to create a short film adaptations  but I know i will in
   time know how to use them. In 10th grade I know how to made short film adaptation in film
   elective but that on a Mac and I have a HP computer but I will seek assistant when I have any
   problems with technology. I will also update my cellphone with apps just incase I need to access
   Google docs or use a reminder app.

Effective Communicator
   Throughout 3 years in I-poly, I must say that I have become a effective communicator but I still
    have some problems. One of my biggest problem is going up to present and getting really nervous
    and stuttering through my presentation or sometimes forgetting my lines, I think its just because I
    hate being the center of attention but to be a effective communicator I must overcome my
    problems especially since I'm a senior and most of the project are by myself. My
    mentor ship is helping me become a effective communicator because I am constantly
    helping or communicating with domestic violence offenders and victims. To become a effective
    communicator I have to get my point out to my future group member without becoming
     disrespectful because in past group I was afraid that they wouldn't like my idea but this year
    is different. Basically I have to suck it up because from senior 2 hours presentation to presentation
    to my classmate I have to learn to become a effective communicator. I am  pretty positive I will.
