#12 - 6/5/'15

As an IB student taking American Studies and American Literature, I was able to learn how to make insightful connection between these two courses. It is certainly interesting to see how these two different subjects fit together like puzzle pieces. Before coming to high school, I was resolute that these two had no correlation, but through the metacognitive blog, I was able to establish the bridge between the two, and was then able to analyze the significance of it. It is true that what I say on my blog posts is not all that great. Unlike my peers, I make rather dull connection, and it takes a while for me to really digest the information and produce it in my own words and thoughts. However, I believe that my ability to relate these two subjects along with my real life has definitely escalated since the beginning of the year. Although history is not my forte, I have learned to become a "thinker" and slightly more "knowledgeable", as I tried to intertwine the pieces from Studies and Literature together. I believe that this metacognitive blog has been an enriching experience for me, and has shaped me to become a better "historian".
