Wrapping Up

The end of this unit has been surprisingly bitter sweet. While I'm excited to move forward with the class and begin looking at new time frames, I am going to miss looking at Victorian writing. I found a passion for this unit that I hadn't had for any of the other times. This is the first unit that I have felt a real connection to the characters, and have been truly invested in the books. This, I believe, had a major influence on the word I did. Developing a better understanding of the characters and background helped me to do better work.

This unit has also presented me with new challenges, and shaped the way that I view the class. As I become more comfortable with the independent style of  learning and find new ways to express what I discover with activities, I find that I am becoming a better student. This unit in particular tested my ability to stay on task. However, I was able to solve my problems without needing to take drastic measures. This has helped my to be accountable for my own work no matter how I feel about it. It has also helped me find new ways to keep myself on task. By helping me to take charge of my own learning, this unit has helped prepare me for further exploration.
