We are/have worked on: American history, (Spanish American war, American Imperialism) Space and scale model, Cell City Model I was most interested in the Spanish American War & Imperialism. I think that American Imperialism based on Manifest Destiny is bad because it is just taking other people’s land.
Score
8-8.5 out of 10 because I feel like I have been doing really well. It’s not a 10 because I forget to turn things in and they get turned in late.
Strengths
- LIC I liked the Space and Scale model and the Cell City project because building things and being creative are strengths for me. -In LIC the projects have been in partners or teams. Teamwork is also a strength for me because I don’t have to take on all the work. -I am getting better at checking email for assignments from teachers. -Being able to type has been helpful and I feel like I am able to get more done. -I like it when we watch videos and we get to just watch and not take notes. I like this because I can take in more information if I can focus on it the whole time. When I take notes I miss everything that’s said while I’m writing. -Google Drawings
Stretches
-Focusing is still a stretch. Even when I don’t sit with my friends, I can still be distracted. -Turning things in on time is a stretch for me because I am sometimes still working on it, and sometimes I forget to turn it in. -One major thing I learned from Cell City was that something like this takes a long time to make sure you get the scale right, but you can still see what things are. I love our city but I was also frustrated. I wish we had more time because I wanted our vehicles and buildings to have more detail and to carefully cut things out to have a more finished look instead of looking rushed.
Goals
-I can send myself reminder emails and cc the teacher. “Don’t forget to turn in the lab report by Tuesday!” -Keep working on the goal to tell teachers when I’m not done with an assignment.
