At the beginning of the year, I start of getting Ps and Ms. Later, I start getting more Es. Describe areas you have grown in and what you need to continue to target to be a stronger writer? Use the rubrics to help you form your responses. There are many areas that I have grown in. One of them from Language Arts is writing. In the past, I often get P and M. But now, we currently did an on-demand writing and I got What was your favorite independent reading book? Summarize what it’s about in 2-3 sentences. Why did you read that book? What type of reader would enjoy that book? Take a look at your NoRedInk profile. What grammar skills that you practiced were challenging? What skill do you feel more confident in applying to your writing now? What oral presentation or speech do you feel most proud of this year? (Crusade leader debate, competitive sports debate, young entrepreneur of the year debates, Shark Tank, Speak Out, Columbus Mock Trial, book talk) What helped you f...

PART A: Find pictures and videos to add to your blog. This should take no more than 10 minutes. Examples of pictures you might use include candid shots from the marketplace, speak out, or your work time during Phase I or II. 2. Examples of videos might be from the same locations, or you could include a link to your documentary or commercial. <-- here is our commercial PART B: Answer the following questions on your blog. When you are done answering the questions, publish your blog post. Think about the work and effort your team members have put into this project: What are some examples of what your classmates did that helped you learn? Please include at least three and elaborate (explain more) about how they helped. My teammates taught me many things. One of them is sewing. Our manager taught me how to sew by hand and I end up enjoying sewing a lot. Next, I learned how to use a sewing machine from Ms.B, our math teacher. It was challenging at ...

Today, you will take your sources and create a standardized work cited page using Easybib. After you submit this works cited page to google classroom, in a blog post, you will summarize the following (each bullet should be at least a paragraph): Using the graph below, plot a point in the quadrant that shows how motivated you were to work on your Shark Tank 7 project up until this point. Do the same for how motivated you were comparatively to work on the historical fiction narrative during quarter 3. Explain why you put each point where you did in the quadrants and why you were more or less interested or more or less motivated yourself to work on this project. The reason why I put the point for "highly interested in topic"  in the middle is because I wasn't really liking the idea of this topic, but later on when our product came out really good, it made me feel more happy. And for "highly motivated on my own to complete the project," yes, I have hi...

                                   There were 5 main languages that spread during the Age of Exploration. There were French, English, Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese. French was originated in France and moved around to Africa and a little bit near the coast of North America. In Africa, French spread in countries like Madagascar, Namibia, Liberia, Sierre Leone, Nigeria, Benin, Gambia, and Kampala. Second, English was originated in England and it spreads through North America, some parts of Africa, and Australia. Next, Spanish was originated in Spain. It starts to spread to Mexico and the west of South America. Following is Portuguese. It spreads around the south part of Africa and central of South America. The reasons why their languages spread is because of establishing colonies and trade. They have to establish colonies because they did not have enough resources of materials they needed. So...

1. Did you tell a story or just report information? Our group did tell a story. Not just reporting information. Our story is about the Siege of Antioch (battle of Antioch) that happened during the first crusade. And we talked/act about how the crusaders got control of Antioch and got attacked in the end by the Muslim Turks. 2. What went well? Be specific. What went well is during writing the script. It was easy because we've learned about the battle from our research. So, it was pretty easy to write the script knowing all the events and characters in the battle. 3. What was challenging? How would you handle that challenge different now? Explain. The filming was the challenging part. On the first day, one of our members didn't come to school. So, we only filmed one scene. And I went crazy worrying that the project is due the next day (Thursday). But the I realized that we still have time. Because we don't have social studies the next day. And on Thursday, our missing ...

Here is my historical fiction narrative (diary) that I wrote. 1. What was enjoyable about writing your narrative? Be specific. Writing a historical fiction narrative is a new experience for me. So this is my first time writing it. I mostly enjoyed creating my own characters for my narrative. Creating a character was really fun. You can create their names, life story, and even their own appearances! I love that part the most. 2. What was challenging about writing your narrative? Be specific. Try to make my narrative sounds like the old days is challenging. We don't really know the language they used at that time and because the don't use the words like LOL, HAHA, or DIY, right? I was hard when I was trying to make it funny for the readers. So, I decided to use the normal words to make it sound a bit like the olden days. 3. Evaluate (describe) your experience as a historical fiction writer. If you had more time, what would you have liked to research further/c...

1. Describe the process for this artwork. (What did you do?) First of all, we had to choose one living thing and one object. I had chose a seashell and a beetle. And then I made a draft of how my object with change (metamorphosis) into another object I chose slowly. As you can see, I have five transformations of my object. I first drew the seashell and it starts changing in a beetle through the five transformations. After I finished drawing my final work, we can choose whether to color or shade. I chose to shade and it came out perfectly like the picture beside. 2. Explain what you did well? I think what I did well is on the step of shading, especially the second one. The second one is Ms.Pavla, my art teacher's favorite. And I guess, it must be because I put so much effort on that one and try to make the shading blend together perfectly. But I got lazy on the last three ones. 3. Explain what you can improve? I can improve on making sure that my transformations are in their...
