End-of-Year Reflection for 8th Grade ELA

1. The video mentions that a pencil needs to be held by someone else to do great things. In what ways have you relied on teachers, classmates, or other resources to improve your reading and writing skills this year?

2. The pencil maker says that sharpening will make the pencil better. Describe a challenging reading or writing assignment you faced this year and how overcoming that challenge helped you grow.

3. The video highlights the importance of correcting mistakes. Can you recall a specific instance where you learned from a mistake in your writing or reading comprehension? What did you learn, and how did you apply that lesson in the future?
