Reflection:)

New knowledge I have gained:
- Meanings of new words.
- Why Golding chose to strand the boys on the island.
- Why the conch plays an important role in the book.
- Make new friends by helping each other.

Skills I have practiced:
- Making a glossary of the words I don't know.
- writing essays.

Skills I have developed:
- Understanding and knowing the words I didn't know before.
- reading.

My performance in English that I am proud of:
- being able to write essays better by practicing a lot.
- reading more.
- knowing new vocab so I can use them in the future.

My performance in English that I would like to improve:
- Use a wider range of big words in essays or pieces of writing.
- Write more so essay writing won't be as hard.

How I intend to go about achieving my targets and moving forward in English:
- I NEED to read more in order to use a wider range of big words in essays.
- I have to understand why Golding has used language like that so I won't get stuck while reading the book.

Microcms of the Island.

What does microcosm mean? Well, it means that something really small can represent something big. So, in relation to the island from being somewhere so small and nothing happening, became somewhere still small but big and lots of things happening. The fire and the camps are some of them being big.
