I can defend my claim using evidence from quality, reliable sources.

I used a lot of effor for this because it was really hard to find whhy phones should be allowed in school.

I can write an effective argument by organizing my evidence and reasons into paragraphs.This assignment helped me reflect on integrity because I accepted my feedback from my peer edit partner.

I can compose a unique journal entry and defend it in a video.

For this I used refinement because i really wanted it to sound good.

And a thing we worked on in this class was our infographic about chilagi.We listed 5 things that others could expect about the school on canva.If your wondering why we are doing and infographic about chilagi,well it's because  we are reading a book called Two roads.Its about a boy (cal) and a dad (pops) who are native American and live on the railroads.While pops was in the army he is going to fight for his balance while he sends cal off to native American  boarding school.Something I learned about this is to focus less on design and more on work because  when I did it I spent more time on it looking cute and less on work.I have improved with my writing skills.

The next thing we worked on  was the first journal prompt.If you don't know what a journal prompt is it is when mrs.Evans gives us 2-3 prompts for us to choose out of,then she trust us to write the story.Another thing they let us do is use older journal prompts.But sense out of 3 journal prompts this was the first one I got to be creative.The options were  Write a story that includes the following elements: a college student who doesn’t know they have magical powers, a struggling coffee shop and a comet. Or Write a story about someone who is really good at something they hate.I choose to write the second one about a girl who does dance but only to keep her mom happy.I learned that writing a story is hard so just be patient with it.I improved on  it so far because of my thinking and ideas before writing.

The final project of this unit was the letter to cal.As you already know about the book we are reading so far in class (two roads),so we wrote a letter to cal basically describing his life.Also just checking in on him like any other human being would talk to a fictional character.I learned during this to always focus on what is happening in the book.i’m improving on this by paying attention more in class.

One of the first things we did in humanities this year was  the human migration map.This was about where the first humans traveled and was very helpful for other projects.One of the main things we did was find different continents and oceans.The next thing we did was mark the important landmarks with a star,like the bering strait.While doing this I learned that it is very important to focus and pay attention in class because while doing this I got very confused.I think I could have improved on my writing in it because it was very brief and not a lot of info.

Another thing we did so far in our 6th grade year is the first Americans research document,it is a rough draft for our exhibition project about the first Americans. We mainly use it for research but I also have been using it to store my paragraphs and edit them. Im learning with this project that  finding info and using different websites is very helpful because if I go off of what I know I probably wouldn't be as informational.I think I improved on my wording because im saying things in my own words than others.

Yet another thing we're doing so far is the first american slide about all the info about our continent and how the first Americans lived.We got put in groups and I think I work pretty well with them.Another thing we are going to do in this project is make a diorama about everything. Im learning to be patient with other people during projects because i'm not so fast either. And Im improving on the same thing too what about you?
