My second Inquiry went pretty well. I think this was because I wrote a well structured report and my presentation was good. I got a 4.5 overall from my peer marking, and a 5 from my teacher.
The Pest Inquiry was really useful as it taught me that if you have good information, you will have a better mark than not having much or good information. It is also useful as it taught me how to find the information and how to identify if it is correct.
How do I feel about Inquiry now that I’ve spent 10 weeks in it? Well I have to say it taught me a lot of new ways to get information and how to make my slideshow interesting. It showed me new and different ways to write structured reports.
One of my goals was to get a 5/5 on my presentation. by working on this goal it helped me to improve my learning because it taught me that I can squeeze huge paragraphs into short texts.
The goal I did the best with was my presentation. the reason it went so well was because I achieved a 5/5 by working hard on making sure I get the main information and not only making it too long but also not too short.
I was a bit frustrated with how one goal went because I did not get the sources on my mother ship which gave me a really bad score.
Next time I will try get my information from a website and make sure it has the correct information. This will help me get the sources on my mother ship. this will help me because I can get my sources on my mother ship which will give me a better mark than before.
