SUTTS Reflection

I thought that Step Up To The Stage was a very good experience.  I have learned so much, and would love to learn even more.  Now, I feel so much more confiedent and understand how I can improve myself.

1)  What are the qualities of creating a strong presentation?  (Content and Preparation)

Qualities of delivering a strong presentation would be having confidence, a good pace and volume, clarity and preparation.   

3)  What did you feel was one strength of your informative speech?

I think that my presentation was very organized and  I had helpful visuals too.  

4)  What was one area you feel you still could improve upon?

I think I could improve on talking a little slower and taking my time.

5)  What would you do differently the next time you have to present before an audience?

I would work on the clarity and volume of my speech.  I would also like to work on keeping my presentation about one thing, not going off topic.

Refleção dos Lendas

Na aula de portuguese, temos um projeto sobre lendas.  Estamos usando o site Calaméo para ver outras lendas e na final aula de portuguese, nos tinhamos uma "Classroom Assignment" que nos ir por outras pessoas na aula e ler os historias deles.  A historia que eu gosta de mais era do Homem do Saco.  Essa lenda e um ensinamento por que ele fala que voce presisa ficar obiedeinte com adultos. O homem do Saco e um homem que quando vi crianças brincando na rua no meio noite, ele te pegaram ele trouxe para casa dele e fiz sobão deles.  Essa lenda e um ensinamento por que ele fala que voce tem que ficar obediente com adultos.

Science Reflection

In this past unit of science, we have been learning about matter and it's building blocks.  Before this unit, I knew nothings about it.  Here are the things I have learned about:

Atoms

• Democritus and his theory 
• Atoms and what it is made of (below)
• Neutrons
• Electrons
• Protons
• Their arrangement 

States of Matter

• Gas
• Liquid
• Solid
• Plasma

Throughout this unit, I have learned about the importance of atoms and matter.  This unit was very interesting too because we got to watch brainpops and see interactives.   We did labs to see things visually. This was also a good experience because we got to organize ourselves the way we liked, and work together in our study groups.  I enjoyed learning about this topic because it was new to me, and I got to dig deeper and find out more and more.  I wish we could have learned even more about atoms!   Below is a short clip that my study group made.
