i-ready
i-ready
we did I-READY early into the year, and the score I got on the reading diagnostic was 599, which I really good for the beginning of the year, I think I got this because I love reading and do it all the time, so I can easily understand the concepts of the diagnostic.

Long term learning target
I can demonstrate my knowledge of Early American history, government and civics through a TED Talk-style presentation that analyzes the major political and social changes that affected the definition of citizenship and the rights of citizens, and explain how those changes continue to impact marginalized groups today.
Evidence
Evidence
A piece of evidence that I met this learning target is when we actually did the TED-Talks. these were a style of exhibition where we were paired with a Group of of 3 or 4 other people and all got a topic to talk about in one big slideshow. i was assigned the school to prison pipeline about kids getting unfairly punished in school and even getting sometimed sent to prison.
How this can be used in the future
this can be used in the future because it can help when i grow up and i can be active about these problems we talked about to make a difference.
Blood and thunder
Blood and thunder
