Learner Profile-English
In English I think I’m knowledgeable.
I think this because I know different literacy techniques, and can define them in writing. Also because when I look at a piece of writing (mainly focusing on House on Mango Street) I enjoy and think I am successful in finding the deeper meaning in it.
Another learner profile I believe I am is open-minded.
I believe this because cause I think that open-minded also means looking at things in different points of view. I think I do this in both inspecting writing, and writing stories. When I write stories, for example the 50 word story, I try write different types of view, not only one type. When I inspect writing, mainly vignettes, I try find the deeper meaning.
And lastly, I think I’m reflective.
If I wasn’t reflective, I wouldn’t be able to do this right now. I know what I can improve on. I can improve on more sophisticated writing, instead of writing like I speak. I can see what I’m good at. I can see when a piece of work is good, and when it’s not. Regardless of how good my writing was in the past, I always know there’s room for improvement.
And that is what I think I show in my English class.

You have identified relevant Learner Profile traits Emily, and explained them well in the context of your learning. I often appreciate how you can hear a different point of view and take time to reflect on what you have heard, and modify your thinking if necessary. Your contributions to class discussions do show your understanding and knowledge and others learn from what you contribute. Writing from different perspectives can be challenging and it is impressive that you are trying to do that. I always enjoy reading your writing. Thank you for your thoughtful post.
