In ELA, we are reading the book, Charlie Hernandez and the League of Shadows. My beginning of the year goal was to work on my Vocab.
How is the goal going?
I achieved this because I got higher on my i-ready in this category and I am pretty proud of how it's gone. I am going to start to aim higher on every vocab lesson and work-problem.
What are you going to do do, keep working on this goal, or make a new one?
This year on the i-ready, my score went way up. On IXL, my vocab is now 760-900. I am instead this semester going to work on my grammar and reading strategies.
INfographic About Chillagi
This project was an Infographic about Our book, 'Two Roads' and our "notice and note" sign posts. we used canva so that our work would be artistic and more interesting to read.
For this project I created a timeline about Native American Boarding schools. Our learning target was I can use research skills to develop a presentation from primary sources. I think me and my partner did a good job of making this timeline and that we did well on this. I think I meet my goal by working hard to complete this and using good websites and examples of timelines.
HUMANITIES PROJECTS
What did you do for this project?
I made an infographic on Canva about traditional Hispanic folklore versus Charlie Hernandez folklore.
I had to refine my infographic alot over the weekend of thios assignment. Why I had to is because as I started to look over it, I didn't make much sense to the assignment. I had to delete my entire thing and restart by looking up more about the traditional folklore. As I started to rifne it, it was looking much better and more organized and I am glad I looked over it in the first place.
What did you do to prepare for this debate?
I worked with my one partner on this assignment and we both in the start had to create a google doc about three different reason why we should stick to a four day week. We then put it into one doc and made our debate presentation.
Did you win? Why or why not?
Me and my partner Ryder lost this debate because we were supposed to have a 3 person group and instead we had 2. We had good info and presented mainly well but we both could have spoken up a bit and we had no rebuttle for the other team.
I feel like the most challenging part of this essay was writing the Intro/Conclusion. Why I feel this way is because when we were first starting, I had trouble finding what I should say to get the reader hooked into the essay. The reason I had trouble with the Conclusion was because I want the reader to take action and I didn't know what to say for it. I feel like either Body Paragraph #1 or 2 #. This is because #1 has good evidence and analysis' about working parents and how hard the four-day week is for them. But on the other hand, I think that Body Paragraph has good points about youth crime in the counties and how it increased with the four-day week. If I were to give advice to the future 6th graders, I'd tell them that when they hear they are writing an essay, not to worry, it's not as complicated as may seem. I'd also tell them to DO THE PREVIOUS HOMEWORK ABOUT DEBATES AND ESSAYS and that they should write their Hook and Thesis, then start the body paragraphs and then come back to the bridge. Don't get stressed!
I think that my 3 most favorite memories of this Field trip were Learning how to throw an AtlAtl, hiking and making bracelets. i liked the atlatl because it was cool to learn about what they are and how to use them. I also liked the hike, when our tour guide stopped every couple minutes to tell us more about where we were and about the Native Americans who once lived there. Lastly, my third favorite memory was getting to create little bracelets by weaving because it was the first time I every tried it and I really liked it!
I think this trip helped me gain confidence by making the station for weaving because I had never weaved before and I had fun learning and getting good at it.
