GRADE 7 ELA

I've learned and done a lot of things that have helped me in this subject. Projects, essays, and reading information are all included. We completed two projects in this unit: "The Invention Project" and "The Mini Willie Wonka Project." As in the invention project, which I completed with three other members of my team, the task was to create a presentation about an invention that could change the world, create a diagram, and explain the problems, solution, target audience, and perceived problems about it. In the Mini Willy Wonka project, we created a presentation about a made-up candy with magic in it, making it appear to be an actual product. I completed an assignment for the unit. I just finished an essay on "Problem and Solution." I discussed pollution all over the world, including a problem and solution essay about it. And we learned about reading strategies, plot, characters, setting, theme, and CER in the main part of our lessons (claim, evidence, and reasoning). The test included these as well. And as a result of that, I've done something unique that I don't usually do in class: a flip-grid video in which we had to explain a problem and provide a solution. In the second semester, my unit test was based on cause and effect, and we even got to choose our own topic to write about! I really liked the projects this semester because they were mostly based on our creativity and minds, mostly the utopias I and my friends made. 

My favorite activity was the project about an invention created by my team. It was about a toilet car, which is essentially a portable toilet that can be installed in your vehicle. I enjoyed it because we were able to create slides, posters, and advertisements! We were also able to conjure up something in our heads that we believed could change the world. It was also a lot of fun to present it to the class and answer questions from my classmates.

I didn't enjoy writing the problem-solution essay because I dislike writing essays, especially problem-solution essays. Writing and typing exhaust and irritate me. Problem and solution essays, in my opinion, are difficult to write. because you will need the internet to assist you, and you must write it properly, as in those information essays, and you must be good with words, unlike me.

This unit, in my opinion, was very wholesome and enjoyable to attend, despite being somewhat tiring at times. I mostly enjoyed the projects and other activities; however, some activities did not appeal to me, and I did not enjoy writing the problem-solution essay. If I could change something, I'd like to include fun activities that will help me understand more about the unit and try to make everything more simple and easy for students, in their opinion.
