As an individual, I am going to be more on task and be more of an active listener. I'm also going to participate during class discussions. I will also contribute to the new class goals, by always trying my best.

Knowing myself and my actions and behavior I will change my actions so that I dont distract anyone else including myself with things of topic. I will also not get dragged into of topic discusions and follow what is being taught. The last thing is when I am finished with my work I will read and not talk to my peers.

Knowing myself and the things that i do i will be more interested in the discussion that is taking place. I will also try to stay foucse which means i can not talk in class to no one. I'd also like to participate more often in class in stead of ingoring the teacher like i did in 2007. I would like to always try my best to contribute in my new class goals.

From now on in class i am going to try and achieve all the goals i wrote down today. I am also going to try to achieve the goals we set as a class. I am definitely going to try and stay on task and try and raise my hand more. Another thing I am going to do is push my self to do my best.
By trying my best I think that I will reach all my goals.

A way that I could contribute the class goals is to help keep my classmates on task, focus more on my work, and study harder for tests and projects. I will also try more active listening when working in groups.

A way that I could contribute the class goals is to help other classmates to know that it's class time and not chatting around. I can focus on my work and do my best in tests and all the other subjects..

I as an individual, I plan to help our class fufill our goals by trying to help other people that don't understand a certain question. Something I think that our class should work on is working better in groups. Many people in our class have problems working in groups, so we should all try to work better in groups, that way many more things will get accomplished. I hope that with these new goals that we set as a class, we will all be able to benefit and improve the work that we do inside and outside of school.

I will try to help the class goals by trying to participate more and also by helping others that need help. I will try to be as clear as I can and as nice as I can be when explaining something whether it is group work, or helping someone. I will also participate more and share my ideas with the class more often. As an individual, will try to be on task and focus more in class, I will also try to put as much effort as a can in my projects and homework. Adam Liang, 731
