Thank You Ma'am Friendly Letter
I was required to compose a friendly letter using information from a short story. There are several reasons I am writing this assignment. First, I learned the elements of a short story and learned to identify them in our story. Next we learned the components to write a friendly letter format. Then we applied specific story details and write in the first person as if we were a character from the short story. -Use proper friendly letter format referring to letter frame. -Compose the rough copy letter using specific details form the short story and the write the letter from the prospective of the main character of the story. -Remember to use appropriate tone and audience for the letter. -Complete all steps in the writing process as set out in the directions. Upon completion of the assignment I can now... - I can now identify elements of a short story - I can write a friendly letter - I can apply specific story details - I can write as if I were the character from the story

TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was asked to do a definition card about a person from Mesopotamia. INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? I am completing this assignment because I needed to make a definition card about something from Mesopotamia. CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment? - I need to make it neat and easy to read- I needed to illustrate how Sargon look like- I needed to use a sharpie to make the picture look 'crisp'.- I needed to use lots of colors to make it look good

NEXT STEPS: - I can now illustrate Sargon the leader of the Akkadian Empire - I now use sharpies to make my drawings look better - I can now make my definition cards neat

Cro-Magnon Drawing Assignment
 TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to illustrate a Cro-Magnon four quadrant poster that has four sections about their homes, social structure, food, and tools. The poster need to be fully colored and the colors should have been a color that existed or was common back then. INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? There are several reasons why I completed the illustration assignment. First, I now know I can demonstrate my knowledge through drawing instead of writing. I also had to organize my information into four categories about Cro-Magnon Life.

CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment?
 * visually represent four categories easily understood by the viewers (specific details)
 * use all space and draw scene from Cro-Magnon life
 * finish product included title, subheadings, fully colored, layout

NEXT STEPS:
 * I can now use a process to visually represent any time period in history
 * I can now use design elements and layout techniques to do a drawing task
 * I can now organize my information in to categories

One thing I remember about rates is that you can use them when your shopping and ratios can help you with organizing things. Proportion is something that says two ratio or two rates are the same. Pythagoras helped me with finding the hypotenuse of a triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest line on a triangle and the two other small lines are called the legs. To get the hypotenuse, you need to square the two legs of a triangle then you need to add them. Then you need to find the square root of the answer. The square root of the answer is the hypotenuse. I also learned about finding the size of the leg. To get the answer, you need to square the hypotenuse and the other leg. Then you need to subtract the hypotenuse with the leg you squared. Find the square root of the difference to get the answer for the leg. Difference is the answer to a subtraction problem.

One of the works that i did not do is the math video. I didn’t get to do it because my group wasn’t really ready to do the video.

I will also try to listen to my teacher more so I can be a better learner and i will try to comment on all the scribes in the math blog.

Term 2
In term 2, we learned about finding the surface area and the volume of a rectangular prism, triangular prism, and cylinders. We also learned about percentage. I kind of had problems on finding the surface area because we had to find the area of each side of a prism and a cylinder. I had lots of fun with volume because it was really easy to find the volume of prisms and cylinders. I improved a lot this term, my mark went up by 6.

In term 2, i kind of improved on doing my homework. This term I probably did 75% of all the homework i was assigned. The only thing i didn’t do this term is comment on blogs because i get really lazy.

In term 3, I will try to comment on all the blogs and improve my mark more so I can make my parents and teachers proud.

Personal Reflection
Hi Mom, there are two things I am good at and they are finding the fraction, decimal, and/or percent of something and I am also good at dividing fractions. Two things I would need to improve on are multiplying fractions and listening in class. My goals for the next 6 weeks of school are to do my homework, not lose my work, listen to my teacher more so I will know what to do, and stop getting easily distracted in class.
