Reflection
In this quarter of Biblical Studies, I learned about the book of Proverbs, especially about wisdom. I learned that wisdom from God is one of the most important things in life and to be able to earn this, we must follow God's instructions. Another thing is that if we have this wisdom from God, we will be able make smart decisions so that we will not go astray from God's path. There were several assignments that questioned me about these things. There was also a major assignment in which we related wisdom with social media. We analyzed some trends in the use of social media and we learned that people might make unwise decisions if they get too attached to social media. I was interested in this topic because I was able to reflect on the things that I have done and what changes I should make to my lifestyle.

Sample Work - Difficult Issues Presentation
Teacher's Assessment
This reflection is my best sample work because I was able to achieve a good score even though presenting is one of my weaknesses.
I did well in this project because I was able to cooperate with my groupmates, Jocelyn and Kristina, well. We were able to conduct the survey successfully and compile our survey results into the presentation. I was also able to present the information using a clear and loud voice and I had enough understanding of the presentation.
I can improve by providing more information in the presentation because I only need 0.5 points in order to get a full score for the 'Material' score. I can do this by explaining it in more detail and also providing more information about the relation of the answer to my survey results.
This sample work relates to the global context of Identities and Relationships because I learned about the identity, beliefs and values of a true Christian and that I should follow it. I also learned about spiritual health, how social media can affect our relationships with our families and friends, and also the purpose of our lives. This is shown as I learned about identity formation, status, roles, personal efficacy, attitudes, motivations of being a true Christian. I also learned that we must make good life choices and in this context we must not be too attached to social media as it could create a gap between our relationship with God. Other than that, I learned that we must not follow what we think but what God thinks.

Quarter 2
Goals
I hope that I can learn more about the Bible and God through the topics that I will learn this quarter. I also want to improve my skills in analyzing verses from the Bible and also keep on improving my skills in reflection. I would also like to improve my relationship with God and learn about the true meaning and purpose of being a Christian.

Reflection
In Biblical Studies this quarter, I learned about the book of James, especially about maturity in Christ. I learned that to be mature, we must resist temptation, apply the word of God into our life, follow the law of the Scripture, control our tongues and our actions, live an honorable life, do not have evil desires, and also be patient and keep on praying. There was also an activity regarding these topics, which was that I needed to create a presentation that will show one of the aspects to be mature and my classmates would need to guess what it was. The topic that was assigned to me was to tame the tongue. I think I could have done better in doing it because my presentation was very short and only a few was able to guess what my topic was. After that assignment, I also learned how to be blessed by the Bible. I learned that we must humble ourselves unto God, then we must rely on God’s word, and we must refuse to let the world corrupt our lives by living according to God’s word. I also learned that we must not practice favoritism or racism because it is wrong in God’s eyes. There were also other topics that I learned throughout the quarter. There was also a test after we learned all of those topics. We had to create a 5 paragraph essay regarding one of the topics that I have learned. In the end of the quarter, I became more aware of my life and I learned that we must be mature in Christ because that is the way that we can be blessed in life and also be redeemed from our sins.

Sample Work - Criterion A & B Test
This is my best sample work because I was able to get a very good score in a criteria A and B test that comprises the topics that I learned in quarter 2. I chose a topic that was familiar to me and can be seen in some verses in the book of James. I put my best effort into this test even though I had limited time to do it and it was quite challenging to me.
I think that I did well in explaining the different ways to be mature, such as accepting God as our saviour, doing God's word and not showing favouritism. I explained why we should do it and also some examples of it. I was also able to support each way using various bible verses found in the book of James. I was able to interpret the meaning of these verses correctly and also show my understanding of it through my essay. These are the reasons why I was able to get a very good score.
I can improve by putting more detail into the explanations of each way, such as adding more reasons and examples. I could also write about the importance of doing that action in our lives and also how it can relate to a normal person's life. The reason of this is because it is important to know how to practice it in real life instead of just knowing the theory of it.
This sample work develops my understanding of the global context Identities and Relationships because I was able to explore my identity as a Christian and also reflect about my spiritual life through the assignments given in this quarter. I was also able to learn more about how to become a better Christian by learning its beliefs and values. I also learned about how to take care of my spiritual health and also how to treat other people, including my friends and family, when I learned about favouritism and racism. Lastly, I learned about what it means to be a Christian through the topics in this quarter. This shows that I learned about the identity formation, attitudes, motivations, psychological development, nature, dignity, reasoning and judgement of a Christian.
