WHAT DID I DO

We made a red velvet

what did i learn?
In this unit, we learned about rates and percentages. Understanding this is very helpful because they make it easier to calculate and convert costs in different situations. For example, when baking, we had to adjust ingredient amounts and compare prices. By using rates, we could find the best deals and make sure recipes turned out right.

What worked

The cake was a hit, and teaching Hannah to bake was fun. Teaching Hannah to bake was fun, and the cake turned out great. The cake was a success, and first-time baking with Hannah was a joy. Baking with Hannah was fun, and the cake was a hit. The cake turned out great, and I loved helping Hannah learn.

What did I do

I tested a balloon car to see how far it could go.

What did I learn
I learned about Newton’s laws, specifically how F = MA means force equals mass times acceleration. This means that when a force is applied to an object, it causes the object to move. Then we added weights to the car, and when we increased the amount of weight, the car needed more force.

What worked

what worked was that applying more force to the car increased the balloon’s acceleration, allowing the car to travel a longer distance.

what did not work

What didn’t work was when I put a lot of weights on the car, it couldn’t move at the beginning. I think it was just too heavy for the wheels to get it going, so it stayed still instead of starting to roll.

Personal Relevance
In real life, if I were on a bike with my friend and someone else was also on the bike, the bike would need more force to start moving.

WHAT DID I DO

 made an egg car that could go down the ramp without breaking, while still following the necessary criteria.

WHAT DID I LEARN

We learned about Newton’s laws and how they affect objects. For example, Newton’s first law states that an object will stay at rest unless acted upon by another force. So, when the car stays in place, it will not move unless Mrs. Kirwin pushes it down the ramp.

WHAT WORKED

What worked was that I was able to create a design that protected the egg when the car hit the cement block.

PERSONAL RELEVANCE

I think it is very important to learn about Newton’s laws so that in the future, you will understand them better.

One art piece that i am proud of is my plaster Teletubbies because the Teletubbies represent people saying we can do it if we all work together. And it is very important that people know that sometimes it is ok to work together and not. by your self all the time.

To make this Art, i used Plaster, paint and Posca markers.

WhatI learned from doing the plaster is that you need to do it very fast so the plaster does not dry up and get hard.

What are we doing? Writing a fictional story based on a theme that matters to me.

What’s working, Theme (my purpose for writing this story, my message to readers)

Character Development (creating believable characters with positive & negative traits)

Plot (the sequence of events in my story; Western and Eastern approaches to storytelling) Setting (the world that I create for my story)

How did you get the ideas for your story? i got a idea of my story is how it is very important of how we treat people know matter the Race, religion, nationality, or size beacuse we all matter.

Areas for more growth. I think I did my theme well because I believe it is very important to know who you can trust, becuse you may get your heart broken.

What elements of your story are you proud of? One element I am proud of is setting the setting takes place in the past. Due to the extreme racism

personal relevance, yes it matters, so you can know the importance of themes

What story elements do you enjoy planning or writing?

The story element i like is how my character Kiara was happy in the begining but towards the end kiara got more sad.

What are we doing? Academic paragraph about character Analysis

What are we learning? how to analyze characters in fiction。

reading The Sixth Man and determining important character traits (character’s action, words, thoughts).

Whats working

I try to find character traits first, then I analyze the book and get to know the less important characters, so I can i can have an idea in my head what I will write in my notes or in my discussion board.

Areas for more growth,

i would like to go deeper into the story so I can pull out more character traits

personal relevance

i think that it is important that we get to learn, so in the future we can write a amazing story

I made this poster by using Canva, and i put my favorite color, sport,game,show, to this post

Why have a digital portfolio at SAS?

Creating a portfolio, or blog is a great way to collect all the work you’ve done throughout your academic career. You can include academic, athletic, and personal artifacts or experiences that you want to share with a wider audience. This is a great way to organize all your learning in one place and you can take it with you when you leave SAS.  When you make your portfolio, you create posts that are categorized according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you, but if you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:

• An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category. Think of this as the first opportunity to engage and hook your reader!
• Body – this is where you share your learning. This should include a combination of text and media in the form of images, graphics, and embedded videos. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging and organized? Do they want to keep reading?
• Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
• Tags – create tags that can be used as keywords to describe your post. Tags help organize your post a little more! Aim to have 3-5 tags for each post. For example, if you are posting about a novel you wrote, you might want the following tags: #Fiction, #MurderMystery, #Theme, #PlotDiagram
