Name of assignment: The bill
Teacher: Mr. Adam For this assignment, we had to create a bill (like a law) that's supposed to help a problem, like banning something. |
I decided to have my bill based on homelessness. Mr. Adam gave us the bill template that we're supposed to fill out with information about this topic, and then put our info in the final bill.
|
I think this assignment represents Informational Literacy, because you gather info from different sources and bring it together. I'm glad that I gathered my info for everything and was prepared. The hardest part of this assignment, was getting certain info and fitting it in on the bill. Overall I just talked about how there should be an act to end homelessness, and help people live a happy, healthy life.
Name of assignment: Bechdel test
This was an essay on what show, book, movie, play etc. would pass the Bechdel test. The test is: is there more than one woman in it? Do the women talk to each other? And the last question; do the women talk to each other about something other than a guy? |
I decided to do a childhood favorite show called H20 Just Add Water.
|
I think this assignment represents Self-Directional Skills and Information Skills, because we had to pick our own tv show, movie etc. to base the assignment on. Also after we picked what we're testing, we had to list the parts of when we thought the show passed the test which took time to either watch, read, or think back of different scenes. I've watched this show a billion times so I just had to jog my memory. If I had to change one thing, I would probably rephrase some words and maybe do the assignment earlier so I don't have to stress.
Name of assignment: Hero Hawaiian Portrait
We all have our assigned Hawaiian hero and in this round of competing whos' hero is the best, we had to draw a portrait of them. |
My Hawaiian hero is Queen Emma, and made sure the portrait was shaded in the right places, because that would give me bonus points.
|
This assignment represents Self-Directional Skills the most because it was in our hands to figure out who and what to draw. If I had a chance to redo this portrait, I wouldn't do anything because I was satisfied with the finishing product; I also got first or second place for it. I think overall, this project along with others improve my independent skills due to doing school from home and having to work with what I have.
