My top favorite assignment:

Assignment I am proud of:

Marketing "The Monkey's Paw"

My top favorite assignment would have to be my "Marketing The Monkey's Paw" slide presentation. This is because for this particular assignment we were allowed to work with a partner. Working with a classmate is not only engaging but its a nice change of pace.

My second favorite assignment:

Video Reflection

The Hitchhiker Alternate Ending

My second favorite assignment would have to be "The Hitchhiker Alternate Ending" slide presentation. This is because this slide presentation was among a couple of assignments where we were allowed to work in groups. Not only were we able to come up with an ending for the hitchhiker but we were able to create a slide presentation combining all our ideas together.

My most improved assignment:

Reading Log

The assignment where I showed the most improvement would have to be in my reading logs. This is because as we write about what we read every two weeks I improve my reading skill and fluency. Not only this but with the practice I get through this weekly assignment my ability to process the text and understand its meaning improves to.

Assignment I am proud of:

Philip Vera Cruz Unsung Hero

The assignment I am proud of is my "Philip Vera Cruz Unsung Hero" slides presentation. This is because out of all my slide presentations that I have done so far I think that this is the one that has come out the best. Not only did it have content, design, structure, delivery, and a well use of color, but it was also the most organized.

What are you proud of being able to do?

I am proud of being able to write equations in slope-intercept form, being able to graph linear inequalities in two variables, and being able to solve systems of equations by elimination.

How have you improved?

One way I have improved as a student has been through my mental discipline and math skills.

Algebra 1

What is your favorite assignment?

A favorite assignment of mine in math has been homework 6-1A & 6-1B. This is because for this assignment we were given extra credit points if we completed the 6-1B part of the assignment after we were only required to finish 6-1A.

My most improved assignment would have to be my "11A- Superman vs. Batman." This is because this assignment helped me better understand what we were learning after I had to write a more detailed response that went more into depth. Thanks to this I wasn't left with any question regarding seasons.
