“Seventh Grade” by Gary Soto In 7th grade Literature, we read the short story “Seventh Grade” about Victor who tries to be someone he is not just to impress a girl. What kinds of things do students in seventh grade at MMS do to impress other people (and not just someone of the opposite sex)? Tell me three things that you or other peers do to try to impress others and explain each one. * The things that student would do to impress someone at MMs. they would dress nice, get there hair or nails done
Even though Victor, a 7th grader from the story of “Seventh Grade” by Gary Soto, is trying to find his way socially, academically and personally, he is motivated to get his “girl” but in doing this he matures and develops. On the first day of seventh grade, Victor’s personality is sheepish and shy. When he was in his math room for his second period, he sat in the back because math was at his weakest subject. On Victor's way to math class the narrator says “After English, Victor had math, his weakest
I’ve never wanted anything as bad as I wanted this. I’ve never put this much effort into anything as I did this. I prepared myself for this one event that would be a big milestone for me. Seventh grade volleyball tryouts. Volleyball was a family sport and my first love. I wasn’t obsessed over the Jonas brothers or Hannah Montana; I was madly in love with the game of volleyball. How it had a physical strain as well as a mental strain. Volleyball isn’t thought of as a mental game, but there’s a lot
Observation of Student While observing the students in my classroom, I focused on how engaging and motivated they were. The eighth graders at Pine Forest did not have a good seventh grade math teacher, so the students are very behind. They know that they are behind because Mrs. McLamb tells them all the time. Instead of it discouraging them, it motivated the students to want to learn. They know that they must catch up, so I saw the students trying their best to stay focused and be engaged. I noticed
When the seventh grade year started I had a lot of concerns.The reasons I had concerns are because the seventh grade seems a lot more difficult than the six grade.My older sibling told me that the seventh grade was tough but the first couple weeks of school was not that hard.I knew that was nothing compared when we are working on stuff in the middle of the year.The first week of school was rough.The thing is math is probably the hardest subject in all of my classes.The fears I had going into the

She was cute. And really good in math, too, Victor thought as he walked down the hall to his homeroom.” ( Solo 122
In the beginning of seventh grade at the jr.high my fear consumed me, but soon after I learned about the school all the fear started to disappear. The worry that consumed me most was worrying about my lock/combination. I worried about this because I have never used a combination lock before seventh grade, I also worried that I would forget the combination. That started to fade in the first couple of weeks though because I memorized my combination and learned I’m one of those people who don’t go to
seems to be the solution. But is it? Though Gradiate has its amazing parts, it doesn't grade as desirably as you'd think. Although the feedback Gradiate gives is impressive and on a higher level, the feedback itself isn't suitable for grade level. In my 7th grade class, my teacher expressed to our class how many students' reviews were marked as "ungradeable", however were perfectly gradeable suing a seventh grade rubric. For my classmates who do receive feedback, all agree the feedback is more suitable
In the beginning of this seventh grade I was worried about the stress of my grades. My first reason of being stressed out about my grades is because I never have all good grades. My second worry is about all the hard work. My reason for that is I usually never get all my work done because it’s all hard. My third reason is not having anyone I know in my class. My reason for this is one year I had none of my classmates in my class. My fourth worry about seventh grade is getting in trouble a lot because
In seventh grade, I needed to take a math exam to determine if I could take Algebra I, a high school credit class, my eighth-grade school year. This was very significant to me because I had wanted to prepare myself for high school material. I practiced with tutors and teachers in my school my entire seventh grade year to take and pass the exam the summer before eighth grade year. May came along, and everyone who had registered for the test needed to take it. I took it, and passed it with a proficient
