Tony,
Thanks for your reflection. I don’t think we will be able to this project again this year but maybe next year (if you have me) we will do another project like this and you can try the other project. I am glad you want to try new things!

Luis,
Thanks for your opinion but remember just because it’s the end of the year doesn’t mean we can’t work hard!

Phong,
Very nice relfection! I am very glad that you feel you learned more about poetry through this project!! I am also glad that it helped you to present your information in the way you learn best. Thank you for your input. I can use this information in future years when I do another project like this.
Thanks!

Wenna,
Thank you for your honest opinion on this project. I know that research is not always fun. In your writing, try to use other words to describe what you mean instead of using the word “thing” over and over.

Asiya,
Nice reflection! I am glad you enjoyed doing this project and finding information about people’s lives! In your reflection, be careful of spelling. You write pronouns the vocabulary and you should have written “pronounce” the vocabulary.

Nice work overall!

Do you not like reading poetry or do you not like writing poetry? For your first sentence above, I gather that you don’t like reading poetry but do you enjoy creating it? Why do you think poetry is so hard for you to understand?
Also, be careful with your wording. Instead of saying, “The easiest thing in pøetry for me is find rhyming wørds.” You should say ” The easiest thing in pøetry for me is finding rhyming wørds.”

Wenna,
Thinking is so important!! Of course you need to think to write poetry! If you had to write poetry, what would be easy for you? Is there anything that comes easy? Was picking a topic easy? Also, I understand English is difficult for you but I think you know more American English than you think! Don’t doubt yourself!!

Also, remember to say “poetry” or ” a poem.” You shouldn’t say “a poetry.”

Nice reflection. I can understand why writing poetry is difficult for you especially if you have not done it before! I am glad you had the experience to write some poetry. Make sure you connect your sentences. For example in the first sentence you should put an “and” between poetry and I. Also, I want you to explain your reflection a little more. Why do you think the sentences are easy for you to write when writing Sonnets?

Nice reflection. I can see why writing poetry might be a challenge for you. Finding rhyming words is hard for even native speakers of English! Change ” because It always follow many rules.” to ” because it always follows may rules.”

Nice job Phong! I liked your reflection on the poem. You also did a nice job picking out the rhyming words in the poem!
