When I was preparing for the seminar questions,I intend to make the questions not so tedious. So I jumped out of the quotes,and write some philosophical questions. But they still have slight connections with these quotes so that everyone can score on Criteria A. And it seems like a very successful choice. In this seminar, … Read more
Got a 4 and a 7 in the seminar. It’s mainly because my analysis of the quotes wasn’t well connected to my opinions… And also, if I could speak more my performance would be better. I actually had more opinions than I said in the seminar, but I just feel like I need more time … Read more
Our seminar this time was about Literary Travel Quotes, at first i didn’t think much of it and thought it would just be a discussion of how the background of the author connects to what he wrote or some generic stuff like that, but i was completely mistaken. This seminar was really fun but also … Read more
Saturday, May 9, 2026 Reflection on First Seminar about Travel Quotes English In this seminar, our class discussed about the questions of travel, focusing on mainly what’s the point of traveling, and also discussions about stages of traveling. Specifically , the questions of wither starting the travel is easier or persevering travel is easier and … Read more
As the first seminar of the unit, I think I did a decent job. Our seminar was mostly about “Travel” (well, actually all of it). We all gave different opinions about travel and, at the same time, analyzed literary quotes to support our opinions. We started off with “Why travel is important in modern life.” … Read more
In the previous seminar on the literary quotes of travel, I scored a 6 (a), and a 7 (c). The seminar included questions that were vague, like your interpretation of the quotes. Because there’s 4 pages of quotes, we were talking about very different stuff, which caused the seminar to not be a “discussion” but … Read more
So we had another seminar. I got a A4C6, but the A4 was only earned from the second class. I think I did pretty well on the second class. I did miss connecting points in the first class, though. I could do better if I had connected more points and quotes in the first class. … Read more
Our seminar about travel‑themed literary quotes turned into a philosophical conversation about what travel truly means to human. Looking at how I did in this discussion, I noticed I struggled a bit with analysis (criteria A) at the very beginning. I mostly talked about my own opinions and daily life examples, but I didn’t really … Read more
My score was A4C6. From the seminar I learned that a journey may not necessarily be a physical journey. And journeys can give us more diverse perspectives to help us understand the world and gain more knowledge. I was quite initiative at the first two classes, but I stayed quiet during the last class. I think I should speak more … Read more
I think everyone did pretty well in the last seminar, and everyone that was here prepared at least a little bit about the quotes and content on the workbook. But as the leader, I think I could have finished preparing all my questions at home (as in the end I ended up changing at least … Read more
Reflection on my own performance: Score: 6 for “speaking”, 8 for “listening” I expressed my thoughts a lot during the seminar, but most of them are not really related to the quotes (only answering the questions the leaders gave us). I think this is why I only got a 6 for my “speaking” part🥲 (you … Read more
I feel like i performed okay in the seminar. Problem was that I didn’t get any highs. Most of my points did not include in depth evaluation & comparison of other people’s points or other quotes. For example one of my points is relating to the “All roads led to Rome” quote, my point was … Read more
