literary Analysis #3

When I read Zeitoun I thought of all of my friends and family that lived in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina. I thought about how everyones lives were pretty much ruined because all of there stuff was completely destroyed. My friends lived in the middle of New Orleans and it flooded almost to the top of there house. Hurricane Katrina was so devastating. Also we just had natural disasters happen in Japan, these were both very terrible things that happened.

literary Analysis #2

Zeitoun took place during hurricane Katrina. The levees broke and everything is flooded. The main characters in Zeitoun are Zeitoun, Kathy, Nademah, aisha, zachary, and safiya. The conflict is that Zeitoun stays during hurricane Katrina and his family evacuates. Zeitoun tries to save everything, but eventually everything is destroyed when the levees flood. Zeitoun tries to save everyone and a lot of animals but he can't save everyone. One time he tried to save a 200 pound lady who was hanging on to her furniture but he couldn't lift her into his only canoe. Also Zeitoun sees and hears a lot of dogs who are drowning, but he would go around feeding the dogs that weren't under water.

DAILY GOALS

End of day reflection

Today I did pbl. I interviewed 10 people and asked them if the ocean should be feared. It was pretty even that the ocean should be feared or it shouldn't. I thought I am meets exceptions on pretty much everything. I do my blog everyday and turn things in on time, I am on pace with all pbl, I also like collaborating. I am also always prepared on check ins.

Daily Goals

Today I need to really get started on my Project. I need to call the South Walton fire department to find out where they get their information on putting the flags up. I am going to interview spring breakers and ask them if the ocean should be feared.

End of day reflection

I achieved my goals today.I did a lot of research today on marine life. I need to do more research though. I also need to read more of my book to do my literary analysis.

Daily Goals

Today I plan on starting my project and gather all my information.

Literary response #1

Zeitoun is a book by Dave Eggers which is a true story about a Muslim family during hurricane Katrina. Abdulrahman Zeitoun is a man of strong Muslim faith who owns a painting and carpentering business with his wife Kathy. Zeitoun moved from Syria to New Orleans. Kathy and their children pack up and evacuate during hurricane Katrina but Zeitoun stays to watch over his business and properties. Kathy and the 4 kids evacuate to baton rouge. This is a story of a Muslim man living in new Orleans who struggles on his own during hurricane Katrina.

daily reflections

Today we did 3 different types of government, dudeacracy, democracy, and dictatorship.The dudeacracy didn't really work out because only the boys could decide which didn't last very long. Then we did dictatorship which was fine for awhile but I wouldn't like to have it for a long time. I liked the democracy because everyone had there say in everything.

P.S. I really liked this way We learned this because everyone actually did each of the government types. Like jojo was a dictator.

My family goverment

My family is a democracy because everyone gets a say in things. Like when were looking for houses we wouldn't get one if AJ didn't like it we wouldn't get it and if I didn't like it we wouldn't get it. We always have to agree on it.

• Did I achieve my goals? Why or why not? Yes because I was focused and went in the little room.
• What did I notice about myself as a learner today? I was very focused.
• What went well today? Finishing my spanish test.
• What do I need to change next time I work on PBL? Come to school earlier.
• What do I need help with on Friday (from facilitators)? Researching.
  
• How would I rate myself as a group member today (HS only) 4. I did flvs most of the day.

Daily Goals

Today I finished my Project planning form. Now I am going to work on my FLVS spreadsheet and then finish Spanish. Mckenzie isn't here today.

Daily Goals Check Out

Did you achieve your daily goals? I did achieve my daily goals. I was more focused and I finished the project planning form. I finished everything I was supposed to.

Why or why not? I was more focused today because I didn't have as many distractions. There were no visitors today so I got more work done.

What did you notice about yourself as a learner today? I noticed that I got more work done today. Also I did more work in the morning. I noticed that I didn't talk as much.

Daily goalso

My daily goals are going to be to research on our project and figure out what we are going use for our module. Also I am going to do the OHpedia.

Work habits

My work habits during PBL were pretty focused, but I did get a little flustered because I couldn't find any experts. I got off task on Friday because we had a lot of visitors and we were preparing for the concert.

My work habits this week will be more focused because we won't have as much interruptions. I will try and be more focused because I will stay on task more.

Standard 3

Analyze the transformation of the American economy and the changing social and political conditions in response to the Industrial Revolution.

The industrial revolution was changing from manufacturing things at home to manufacturing in factories. Things started getting manufactured much faster and more efficiently. Children were working in factories and treated badly.

1/12/11

Today we did pbl and accomplished a lot with the rubric, and planning the project. I am feeling pretty good about today's work because we got a lot accomplished. Now I will finish my project planning form. Now McKenzie and I have to find some experts.

Metacognition

What is meta cognition? Meta cognition is awareness or analysis of one's own learning or thinking processes. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metacognition

So metacognition is thinking about thinking.

To be metacognitive means you understand how you learn and how you think.

OHpedia rubric

McKenzie Johnston and I were creating a rubric for online learning. The components below describes what we thought would be helpful for a website for online learning. Our school got together and created a google doc of what we thought would be a good online rubric for online learning.

Graphics

• pictures

Media:

• videos
• games
• music

Written information

• bold titles
• shorter lessons: Only put the information that is important

• colors
• real world examples: give examples of it happening in the real world
• fun facts: Put facts that are short and make them fun and exciting
• recap: have a lesson summary

Civil War Project

I did my Civil War Project with Hunter. Our essentially question was: How did Abraham Lincoln's decision to change his views on slavery affect the outcome of the war?

I will always remember this project because it was fun to do. Hunter and I interviewed Jordin as Abraham Lincoln. Jordin didn't really practice his lines so I will always remember us redoing the interview 50 times. I also will remember the fun facts in the interview. I will always remember learning about Abraham Lincoln.

I will always remember the process it took us to do the interview with Jordin and Hunter. We probably filmed each question 4 or 5 times because we didn't give Jordin any time to practice his lines, so he just read them from a wall. We had to stop in between each question because we would be laughing from either Hunter, Jordin or I messing up. I also learned about the video editing process. Which took a long time.

I will also always remember doing the fun facts. The fun facts were little facts about Abraham Lincoln's life. Hunter filmed me doing crazy things like jumping, running, or going up in the elevator while saying these facts about Abraham Lincoln. An example is fun fact; Abraham Lincoln was the first president to have a beard. We would put these facts in between slow points of the interview.

Lastly I will always remember the whole process of learning about Abraham Lincoln. I learned so much by recreating an interview of Abraham Lincolns changing views on slavery. Because the project was fun to do I thought that the facts and learning about him really stuck with me.

I really liked doing an interview on Abraham Lincoln because I felt like I learned a lot more because it was fun doing it. I also had fun doing the fun facts to kind of make the interview more exciting. I think I will always remember the whole process of doing this project.
