Esol- Learning goals

1. List your English learning goals for this semester
Goal 1: Learn more descriptive words
Goal 2: Learn how to use adjectives in sentence
Goal 3: Using similes in essay writing

2. Explain why these are your goals?
First, Learning how to use descriptive words. The reason why I chose this goal is because I want my story to sound amazing and descriptive so I want to learn how to use descriptive words.

Second, how to use adjectives in sentences, I sometimes use adjectives in my stories but I want to use more so people can understand more about my story. 


Lastly, using similes in my essay writing or just a recount writing. I love using similes in my story, it makes my story sound very good. I want to use more in the future so that's why I chose this goal and this is why these are my 3 learning goals for this semester.
3.Give examples of things you can do to help  you reach those goals.


I could maybe go onto thesaurus to get some descriptive words and use adjectives to put in my story. For my spelling I could ask people to help me or ask my caregivers to help me spell words. Lastly  using similes in my story, I could maybe ask the teacher what kind of similes I can put in my story, or ask the people next to me.
