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
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.

Poetry portfolio

Book titled 'Poetry portfolio'Read this free book made on StoryJumper
In my opinion my favorite poem is Jollyness because it might be short but it has the best meaning behind it, it has a warm feeling when you read it.

The most challenging parts were trying to to write the comments on my poem especially analyzing rhyme, internal rhyme, assonance and alliteration, The most challenging poem was "Where i'm from" because i'm not good in memory and in the where i'm from we had to think of when we were younger but my mum helped me a little.

If I had one more chance, I would use more rhyme, internal rhyme, assonance and alliteration because I got a B on it.

Science reflection

I Learned mostly about the infiltration and transpiration, I didn't evan know that was part of the water cycle it was very interesting. I learned that sometimes you will not always get the best parter but you just have to deal with it and you shouldn't always choose you friend. You have to try a lot of different types of prototypes your first one will probably never work you have to try different design till one works.
