What did I do?

We had a bake sale and then we used math to figure out the costs for everything and for the recipes conversion from U.S system to metric system. And we cooked our food.

What did I learn?

I learned how markups work and markup prices and how to use markups and how profits effect the cost of a product. And I learned a lot about baking with samuel.

What did we do? 

Analyzed Author’s Point of View in a personal essay, focusing on important aspects of the author’s social identity and their sense of belonging in specific communities.

What have we been learning? 

Author’s Point of View

– How an author’s opinions, assumptions, beliefs, values, and biases affect writing

– Using detailed text evidence to determine Author’s Point of View

Social Identity

– How societies categorize individual people into larger groups, such as;

Ethnic Identity

Languages Spoken

Gender

Sexual Orientation

Age

Socioeconomic Status

Physical Ability

– These social identity categories can change people’s point of view because their experiences over the life can change the perspective of the world because they could be treated differently because one of these social identity categories.

What’s Working:

Something that is working is identifying what the author social identity is and finding out how it shapes the authors point of view and how it effects the story and how the author views the topic she is writing on.

Areas for Growth:

Some areas for growth are probably using the text evidence and referencing to the text while explaining the author’s point of view.

Personal Relevance:

This is skill can be used in your life to analyze texts and understand the information without any biases and can get the raw information.

1. What did I work on? 

1. During this unit, I worked on 

1. Understanding different types of governing 

2. Comparing ancient Greek democracy to modern USA democracy 

3. Understanding how and why rules and laws change over time. 

4. Researching US amendments and UN articles about human rights 

5. Participating in a Socratic seminar discussion about the causes and effects of amendments/articles and how they are connected to each other.  

2. What did I learn? I learned how and why does democracy changes over time. 

1. How does democracy change over time? 

1. It changes because representatives change, and they introduce new laws and change how things are done. Also, laws end because they don’t meet modern day requirements and are terminated. 

2. Why does democracy change over time? 

1. It changes because of times and changing and because the future requires different things and the government needs to adapt to these changes by creating new laws and ending old ones. 

3. What worked well? 

1. I am proud of the following work connections, and my research booklet and comparing ancient democracy and modern democracy. 

2. I am proud of the work above because it forced me to think creatively to find similarities between 2 things and forced me to research information. 

4. What did not work well? 

1. I found some of this work challenging, the U.S bill of rights. 

2. I found the work above challenging because it made me think a lot about the similarities and if they are really that similar.  

5. Personal Relevance 

1. Research skills and listening skills are important in my future because being able to research in college will be a huge advantage because I will need to learn information for writing different things and can help me learn so much. 

6. This is a photo of my work about my connections.

What are TTG’s and how do they support academic learning.

The TTG’s are the trans-displancery transfer goals which you work towards durring the year.

There are 5 TTG’s: Critical Thinker, Creative Learner,
Ethical Global Citizen, Effective Collaborator, and Skillful Communicator. TTG’s support my academic learning because they help you get better academically.

Critical Thinker: To be a critical thinker means to develop ideas and construct arguments by synthesising information and thinking of creative ideas.

Creative Learner: To be a creative learner means learn creatively and think of different ways to learn information and listen properly.

Ethical Global Citizen: An ethical global citizen is someone who is a good citizen and gives back to the community and is good person.

Effective Collaborator: To be an effective collaborator means to collaborate with others effectively and be able to share your ideas with others.

Skillful Communicator: A skillful communicator is someone who can share your ideas and information with others in different ways.

What TTG’s would you like to focus on and why?

I would like to focus on critical thinker because it is good be a critical thinker because you learn a lot of skills and I can improve my learning skills.

I am going to focus on listening and paying attention in class a bit more I will measure my goal by seeing how much my grade has improved by me focusing more. Some actions I will take to help achieve my goals is by reminding myself to focus and watch the teacher when speaking and having a focused mindset. This goal is realistic because it is simple and not difficult to accomplish. I will track my goal every week and I will to reach my goal in 2 months from now.

What did I do?

During semester goal I developed a SMART goal of managing my time so I have less overdue homework. This goal was specific and easy to measure using the overdue tracker on schoology. I believed that by monitoring my data I could realistically decrease the amount of overdue work by the end of the semester.

What did I learn?

During this process I learned that I have more overdue work than I expected. Most of the overdue work was forgetting my assignment . I learned that consistently monitoring the overdue work and reminding myself what work I need to do I will also write reminders.

What did not work?

I was tired sometimes and it made it extremely difficult to follow my routine because I was tired and unable to focus so I need to figure out a better way to focus on those days I have sport training.

Personal Relevance

This can help me in my life because I will have a routine to follow after work school collage and etc. This can help me learn structure and organization in my life and the future.
