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.

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.

I did well in math and chinese because I was very serious about those classes but I can improve in language arts and social studies by listening more. I chose language arts because I know I can improve in language arts. I can improve by listening and being a critical thinker by really focusing to what the teacher is saying. I will in class focus on what the teacher is saying and use critical thinking to apply it in class.
