Band reflection 3

1. Which adjectives did you choose to convey? Do you think you were successful in conveying those adjectives? Why or why not

I choose slow and gentle but most of my song is fast but the middle part (measure 19-33) Is kinda slow and gentle so overall I didn't choose a song that went with my adjectives that well but at the same time did.

1. How did your first draft compare to your final recording?  Did you make good improvements?  Were you happy with your final draft?

I think my first draft was sloppy Meaning For example On my first draft I wasn't always on a seady rhythm and I would play some wrong notes but on my second recording It took me only two tries to play through the whole song and it was a lot better.

1. Which measures or musical elements did you think sounded the best? What sounded so good about them?  Give at least 2 examples.

I think the chorus of this song (measures 1-16) sounded the best because It reminded me of a song I used to listen when I was small, I think it was in a cartoon or something like that.

1. Which measures or musical elements sounded weak?  How could you have fixed them?  Give at least 2 examples that you weren’t happy with.

29 and 30 in my opinion could have been b]made differently because the notes before measure 29 were fast it it only sounded right if measure 30 was fast as well.

1. Which measures were the easiest for you to prepare?  Why did you find them easy?  Give at least 2 examples.

I think the middle slow part was the easiest because I understood the tempo right away and could understand how and when the next note would come in but as for the chorus it was a lot harder because their was a rhythmic beat that I still needed a little but of work on.

1. Which measures were the most difficult for you to learn?  What made them challenging?  Give at least 2 examples.

The last 2 measures where the hardest to learn because it went from a low note to a high note and It was kinda challenging at first also measure 7&8 were challenging because it went fast and they are all high notes.

1. Which steps in learning process did you find the most helpful?  Why were these so helpful?

The counting and clapping helped me a lot because it helped me with the new rhythmic beat that I wasn't understanding.

1. The next time you rehearse a solo, what would you do differently to prepare?

I could practise more on my own time and ask more when I didn't understand something.

Shark tank Reflection

1. Using the graph below, plot a point in the quadrant that shows how motivated you were to work on your Shark Tank 7 project up until this point. Do the same for how motivated you were comparatively to work on the historical fiction narrative during quarter 3. Explain why you put each point where you did in the quadrants and why you were more or less interested or more or less motivated yourself to work on this project.

2. Summarize the process of selecting a topic for your Shark Tank 7 project.

It took us a while to come up with this idea but when we came up with it we tried our hardest to make it work.

3. Describe the process of researching and your overall success or struggle with researching your topic for Shark Tank 7.

We had to find a way to mold it in the shape wi wanted and be able to perfectly fit our phones inside the carved out part but after some attempts’

we finally did it.

4. Describe the steps taken and overall challenges in completing or creating your Shark Tank prototype.

We had to first of all find some crayons then we melted them in a pan and put it in the mold we wanted it to be then carve it so my phone would fit inside it.

5. Reflect on your overall presentation experience or struggles with completing the pitch for your shark Tank 7.

We had to time the script and make it fit perfectly in our slides but when we finished it was pretty smooth

6. How would you present differently for Speak Out/the formal Shark Tank presentation?

I kinda choked some times in the presentation because i would forget the script for a few seconds.

Age of exploration

Describe where the above languages originated and the movement of them to other areas.

spanish was originated in spain but spread all the way to Mexico and most of south america , Portuguese was originated in Portugal but it spread to the other half of south america and some countries in Africa, French was originated in France but spread in Africa and America and most of all english was originated in England and spread in most of north Africa, all of Australia and Africa.

Based on the map and language research, what can you conclude about how exploration has affected the world?

What might it have looked like before Europeans set sail?

S.S mockumentary Project reflection

1. Did you tell a story or just report information?

I reported a story of a crusader called Jeffery

2. What went well? 

I Think we did good at showing Jeffery as a crusader and we did good in good in putting kinda a lot of information/facts of the battle of Antioch. 

3. What was challenging? How would you handle that challenge differently now?

It was hard to try to find time to film with the whole group because some times members of the team were absent, like me for one day So it was challenging to find time.

4. What was enjoyable by creating this project? Did the entertaining parts take away or add to the overall message you were trying to communicate?

It was very fun making the script with all sorts of funny ideas. I think the entreating parts added to the overall message because it was funny but we also showed parts like 1 in 5 people would die every day because of starvation and like they would have to eat grains of wheat and seeds from animal droppings because of starvation.

5. What did you learn form this project?

I learned that time and missing members can be a huge problem in making a video.

Historical fiction narrative

1. What was enjoyable about writing your narrative?

In the story you could make the character do anything it felt awesome

2. What was challenging about writing your narrative?

Finding the exact time when the events happen it was really a challenge for me .

3. Evaluate (describe) your experience as a historical fiction writer. If you had more time, what would you have liked to research further/change about your narrative?

It was very fun but took me a long time to write a diary if I had more time I would have went in the event of the holy lance but it would take to long.

4. Which crusader primary accounts or other sources did you use to help you replicate the language, events, or tone of your account? Please specify from the list which you found helpful.

The only two websites I used were wikipedia and extra history, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Antioch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemond_I_of_Antioch and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvUibFUJFKM

5. Why did you choose your particular timeframe for your narrative? Was it too much, too little, or just the right amount of time to cover? Please explain.

Science reflection

1. Describe characteristics of different chemical reactions. (PS2.8A)

Matches: when you strike the match powdered glass and red phosphorus make up friction therefore ignites the match and what makes the match ignite is Antimony Trisulfide in the red part of the match.

Acid/base:Realizes Endothermic reaction meaning it gets cold, carbon dioxide and sodium bicarbonate

Iodine/starch: changes color

Indicator: color change

Dont talk about ooblek u can less you say it is not a chemical change…

1. Describe the chemical makeup of baking powder. (PS1.8B)
A: Backing soda: NaHCO3 and Cream of tartar: KC4H5O6

2. Describe the process you used to determine the unknown substance.(SI1.A)
We knew that
A: The unknown substance is backing soda. We already knew that backing soda and vinegar had a chemical reaction that fizzes a lot and when we tried mixing vinegar with the substance it did the same reaction so we now we know that it is backing soda

3. Describe the process you used to determine which two substances make up baking powder. (SI1.A)
A: We were testing out what iodine would do to the given chemicals and we saw that with backing powder the color changed (to a purple) and and It started to slightly fizz so when we tried mixing backing soda and cream of tartar and we got a slight fizz and light purple.

4. What are some important safety considerations for a Middle School Chemistry lab?(SI.1A)  
A:Attire: long pants, lab coat, no necklaces, tie your hair if long

2 .personal protective equipment: glasses, don't touch any thing, lab coat.

3. chemical safety: know the chemicals you are using.

4. safety equipment: fire extinguisher close by and again safety glasses.

5. lab behavior:  clean up your mess, listen to instructions and no tasting.

Middle school


Diary of a wimpy kid


The bad beginning


4. Raina telgemeier


I like books that are kids around my age talking about a point in their life. Like smile she was 12 years old or diary of a wimpy kid he's I think 12 too and Middle school he is in 7th grade. When I like a book i don't stop reading unless I finish the book or I'm really tired.
