Hi parental units, this is my e portfolio that I prepared just for you, YAY. This contains some chosen work that we have done this entire school year, in math, language arts, science, and social studies. This also contains the finished product of our long-awaited "2 Minutes to make a Difference" project. A very VIVID description of that is located below. The work we have posted in here are basically chosen by ourselves. I hope you appreciate all the effort I've put into this. no seriously.

=Personal Reflection= 2 things I'm good at are: -Getting things done on time -Understanding whatever is discussed during class

2 things I need to improve on are: -Putting more effort on projects, assignments, and such -Using time given to us in class efficiently

My goals for the next six weeks: 1) To get higher marks than I did in the last two terms 2) To put more effort on my work 3) To use class time more efficiently

=Adult Response= In looking at your work, I would like to compliment you on the following 2 things:

I will help you succeed in your goals for the next 6 weeks by:

=Language arts= This year is LA, we did all sorts of things in class. There are only several that I can remember well. We have set goals in class to help us improve every term. We also wrote a couple of Famous Birthdays report. It is where you have to choose someone famous who's birthday is on the current month, and write several paragraphs of his or her autobiography and such. I found it quite interesting. We were also asked to complete book reports. It's pretty simple; we just pick a book we've read in the past and write about it. In class today, we are currently in the progress of completing our writing folders/journal. We are asked to complete 2 writing pieces every school cycle. I find this interesting since writing is one of my strong points.

Earlier this year, our LA teacher Mr. Mclean gave me a heads up on my writing. He said out of all the paragraphs he has read, mine stood out. I just thought of mentioning it here because it's something I'm really happy about and proud of of course.

=Science= I think I'm doing fairly well in science. The marks I get in our test, quizzes, etc for the third term are higher than those of the second term. For our e portfolios, we had to choose one work that we did which we are proud of, and another in which we think we could improve in.

Below is my title page for Cells and Body Systems. I think I could do a much better job of it than what I did. I should have spent more time working on it. Instead, I remember rushing through the work during class. That was my mistake. In spite of the poor effort, it still turned out nice.

Below is my four-page science test on fluids which I'm proud of. First of all, I studied hard for this test the night before. And I paid much attention during class and that paid off. Even though I studied at the last minute, I still got a perfect mark. I didn't get the bonus question right though. But all in all, I'm pretty much happy of the outcome. =Social Studies= Below is a project we did in which we have to make a magazine ad of whatever kind of product we created. The product must be something related to a Greek god. For mine, I chose to do Hermes Airlines because Hermes is the god of trade and travel. Below is another project we did in social studies. Before we studied about ancient Greece, we learned about ancient Egypt. For this activity, we had to pick one vocabulary word that is ancient Egypt-related. We had to write down its definition and draw a picture about it. PS: Please view my Egyptian Photostory. It can be found the the U drive. =2 Minutes to Make a Difference= __My Pay It Forward Video__ Last November/December of 2009, all of grade 8 were asked to make a video entitled "Pay It Forward". It is all about doing an act of random kindness to either people we know, or to complete strangers. The goal is that this deed may be passed on. Hence, paying it forward. The idea was to make the world a better place, and to create a chain of acts of kindness being passed around to everyone who needs it. We may choose to do it in groups or alone. And we may decide what the act of kindness may be. I partnered up with Kaitlin Lowe, and we gave sugar cookies which we made to the kids at a local daycare. We also gave our time to stick around and entertain the kids. Here is my PAY IT FORWARD BLOG POST

Next thing is making our 2 minutes to make a difference video. But before we get to that, Mr. Harbeck made us create a google document in where we save all our essays, questions, and pictures which we will later use in making our two and a half- minute long video. Again, we may choose to do this project alone or with a group of (maximum) four members. My group consisted of myself, Kaitlin Lowe, Razel Abraham, and Caitlin Torres. Below is the google document we created together. Here is the link to our GOOGLE DOCUMENT.

When all's ready, we completed a first draft of our video, which can be seen below. Our topic, as you can see, is called environmental activism. We focused on issues regarding the environment, such as pollution, climate change, and such. Our first version of the video was not very well-completed. media type="youtube" key="zyGuAdFtUSQ" height="364" width="445"

After that, we were given a chance to change the errors that we've done and make a better version of our video. Before that, we were also given some feedback to help us improve. Our video's final cut is seen below. Hope you enjoy it!
