In this exhibition I learned a lot and I learned that there are a lot of modern inequality's that I didn't even know were still here! For example I learned that Latino males are 2.4 times more likely to be arrested than your average white based on racial bias. Overall I did learn a lot in this exhibition but there are not a lot of real life advantages to this knowledge but I was able to improve my presenting skills and presentation organization skills that will help me in my future. Also Overall in this exhibition I got a Meets+ as my grade but for my presentation slides grade I got a Exceeds and for my oral presentation grade was a Meets and my research exhibition grade was a Exceeds. I got these grades because I took on multiple extra assignments to raise my grades and I worked really hard to complete my work on time and to meet and exceed the class norm grade. I think a good goal for next time would be to do even more challenge extensions and aim for an exceeds on my overall grade. I will do this by committing even more to my work and paying attention to the exceeds grading rubric and include every aspect of it into my next exhibition.

Pros and Cons of Ocean Trawling and Over Fishing

This was the written aspect for our mock trial exhibition where we wrote our opening statement, direct examination, cross examination, and, our closing statement.

This is where I wrote my script for my Fiji legal system presentation in order to replace my oral presentation grade for the mock trial.

This was the presentation that Shawn and I conducted in order to replace out oral presentation grade for the mock trial.

The learning goal in this project was “I can apply my knowledge of westward expansion, geology, and government by constructing a well organized mock trial for or against famous mountain man Kit Carson using logical reasoning, relevant and credible evidence and acknowledgement of opposing claims”. In this unit leading up to this exhibition we virtually traversed the timeline of the west and the taking over of the Americas learning about important events on historical figures that played key roles in westward expansion for example Kit Carson was a very influential leader during this time and was very important when it came to the Native American removal act when being placed under orders by general Carlton. We also learned about ELA skills like writing race paragraphs, or essays, and literary analysis. I applied these skills during our exhibition build up by creating a strong argument that gave me and my team the best chance of winning and by knowing all of the facts in order to learn how to prepare myself to defend and attack when in the court room. Overall I grew a lot as a student and this unit taught me a lot about the taking over of our country and how to properly write paragraphs, essays, responses, opening statements, closing statements and so much more. Some challenges that I had to overcome during this exhibition was trying to predict what the other team was going to say and coming up with counter arguments in order to defend my case and another thing that was challenging was refining my written aspect because there were so many things that I had to fix in order to make it the best that it could be but over all it worked out! I learned a lot about laws and our legal system back then and now and how I can use this in my future if I ever find myself in court, maybe as the jury or the defendant. It is always good to know how to defend myself if I get a speeding ticket. I learned a lot about myself as well because creating and planning for this exhibition really brought out my competitive nature and what I realized is than when I am passionate about something I really try my best on it and that surprised me because I didn't think that this exhibition was going to be very exciting but I was totally wrong! Based on the rubric I think I met all of the standards and more, I completed all of my projects on time, my work was refined and thought out, and I worked really hard and went above and beyond on everything! I think 1 really good goal for me for the next exhibition would be to communicate with my team more because even though we were really successful, I failed to establish proper communication because half of the time I was just doing things on my own! Also I got an exceeds!

The goal of this project was to replace my oral grade of the mock trial exhibition because I was not there so instead Shawn and I made a presentation comparing the Fiji legal system and the USA legal system and we talked about multiple different aspects of each like courts, laws, and elections. From this project I learned a lot about the legal system of Fiji because I was the one in charge of researching Fiji's legal system and some things that I learned were that Fiji has 4 courts and they elect members of parliament and then the members of parliament elect a president. The grade I got for this project was      an exceeds because I worked really hard to complete this project and made sure to give it my all in order to fully earn my oral grade for my mock trial exhibition. I think a great goal for next time would be to check a little earlier so that I never have to make up a exhibition grade.
