Unit 2 Otzi Unit Portfolio Reflection

  1. Taking part in the Otzi Mock Trial, my role was a court reporter, I took pictures during the Mock Trial, I also interviewed some expert witnesses on the defensive team. 
  1. What did I learn? Why should we care about the past? 
  1. We should care about the past because we can know the origin of humans and how pre-historic people lived in the past. 
  1. What worked well? 
  1. I am proud of the following work my argument because I think I used resonable evidence and had a very strong argument. I am also proud of the notes I took during the mock trial, because it was very helpful to decide which team won the mock trial. 
  1. I am proud of the work above because They are very helpful. 
  1. What did not work well? 
  1. I found some of this work challenging, open and closed questions, because it was very easy to get itt mixed up. I also find taking notes during the mock trial was challenging, because I had to wrtite very fast enable to catch up with the speaker. 
  1. I found the work above challenging because it was easy to miss something important and get it mixed up.

Swimming Reflection

What did we do?

We did simple swimming and snorkelling. Most importantly I knew how to stay safe when I snorkell.

What did I learn?

I learned how to snorkell and how to float on the water, we did drills to make sure we knew how to stay safe.

Personal Reference

When I go snorkell next time, I will know how to snorkell, but also stay safe.

Science Egg Car Reflection

What did I do

In this science project, we made a car that has a crumple zone, we made it out of paper, plastic wheels and wood sticks, (tape is included.)

What worked

This project helped us understand how the crumple zone works and mostly the Newton’s first and third law, (a little bit of the Newton’s second law.)

What did not work

(Nothing worked…) Something that did not work was that the crumple zone did not prevent the egg from cracking, the crumple zone was to thin.

Personal Relevance

This experience help me have a better understanding of the Newton’s laws.

Balloon Car

What did I do?

I made a balloon car with my partner, we used a ballon, cardboard, wheels, and tape. We used this to learn that the force that made the balloon car move was a applied force, it was also a unbalanced force from the applied force to the friction.

What did I learn?

Newton’s 1st law states that objects that stays at rest stays at rest and the objects in motion stays in motion unless there is an unbalanced force acts upon it. The unbalanced force is the air coming out of the balloon. Newton’s 3rd law states that every action has a reaction, in our experience, the action was releasing the air in the balloon, the reaction was the balloon car moving forward.

What worked?

The air in the balloon was successfully released, we put air in the balloon and squeezed the end of the balloon, when we wanted the balloon car to move, we released the end of the balloon. Something else that worked was the balloon car successfully move forward.

What did not work?

Something that did not work was that the balloon car did not move in the right direction, this was caused by the straw not pointing straight back.

Personal references

This test made me know that I should check things I’m using before I use it and incase something goes wrong.

1- What was the task ? What you needed to do to be successful ?

I need to make a presentation about a country that speaks french, but all the writing had to be in french.

2- What did you choose to research and why did you pick this country?

I chose France because I already know many information about France.

3- Explain briefly what you mentioned in your project.

I mentioned that in France there are many croissants.

4- What is the feedback the teacher gave you?

I could add more information to my presentation.

5- What are you proud of? What are the areas of improvments?

I could add more details in my presentation.

6- Attach your project

Creative writing reflection

What are we doing? 

Writing a fictional story based on a theme that matters to me.  


What are we learning? 

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)  


What’s Working:

I enjoyed planning for the video games and the non-existing elements that was talked about in the final story.


Areas for Growth:

I need to work on typing faster, I did not write, my full story in the limited time, so next time I could type faster so I can actually finish my story in the limited time.


Personal Relevance:

Creative writing can help me expand my creativity and imagination, this is a good skill to have when writing stories.
