Gr 6 Final Scripted Performance

Reflection: I think I projected my voice well because ti was audible, and could be heard. I can tell that I used my diaphragm because my voice sounds clearer than it usually is, and that is why I could tell this. I would really like to comment on my facial expressions, but it was hard for me to see my face because of the lighting and camera. I did see a bit of my face, and when I could see my face, they matched the characteristics of my character, and the scene. My voice had lots of variety because when there was a dramatic scene, like at the end, my voice sounded scared and faulty, whereas in the beginning, I was trying to scare people and my voice sounded like a tough girl. I am really proud of my whole group because we pulled everything that we wanted to pull off, and it all came out better than we expected. One thing I would change is how the voice could blend in together and it could sound more like a real conversation going on. My number before was 8. 5, and I think I am no...

Math Reflection, Fractions and Decimals

When is it more useful to use fraction or decimal notation?  Give examples to justify your answer. It is more useful to use a fraction if the question is talking about parts. It is more useful to use decimal notation if the question is talking about wholes with easy to work with numbers, like 10, 100, 1, 000, etc. Ex. Bob had 121 pizza slices, and ten friends to share them with, including himself. How many slices should each person get?      2. When comparing two positive whole numbers with different numbers of digits, such as 115 and 37, the one with more digits is greater.  Does this rule work for comparing decimals?  Give examples to justify your answer. No, because there can be a 3 digits in one number, like 1. 22, while another number only has 2 digits, like 5. 9. The second number is greater than the first number, even thought it has a less amount of digits.

Fraction Comparison Reflection

You know how to compare fractions using cross products, LCD, and logical reasoning. When is it better to use one method over another? It's better to use on way over the other because it will take less time. Logical Reasoning: If one fraction is greater the half, and the other isn't, it would be better to use logical reasoning than the other methods because if you find the LCD, it will take longer to find the answer. LCD: If there are weird fractions that don't divide well, you should find the LCD of the two fractions because it will be easier to find out the LCD than anything. Cross Products: If the numerators don't divide well with the denominators, you should just multiply the numbers because it's very quick. It's best if the numbers are small.

Submarine Model-Building Reflection

Question 1 Draw a colored sketch of your submarine model in the  floating ,  sinking  or  neutrally buoyant  position. Take a photo of your sketch and insert the photo below the title of your blog entry. You could also do your drawing use a digital drawing tool if you like.  Question 2 Part of the design process, is to think of design ideas to try and then test to see how those design ideas actually work.  Describe any design ideas that you had which  did not  work as expected.   I thought that putting a pack of rocks around the bottle would make it sink, but it didn't. I thought about blowing a balloon to make it float, and that didn't work. Describe any design ideas that you had which  did  work as expected.  I thought that making holes would allow water to come in and it did. Blowing into the tube worked, and using clay to hold the tube in also worked. Question 3 Describe at least two...

Sportsmanship - On The Sporting Field And In Everyday Life

Sportsmanship - On The Sporting Field And In Everyday Life           Sportsmanship is respect to others, playing fair, following directions and rules, and having fun. I have demonstrated sportsmanship this year by having fun, and shaking hands with my opponent to acknowledge appreciation. I compliment anyone (opponent or teammate), if they accomplished or did something amazing. I can demonstrate sportsmanship in P.E. or on the sporting field by showing that I have witnessed something amazing if I have, by playing fair and honest, and by following the rules, and what the coach says. I can demonstrate sportsmanship in everyday life by playing by the rules of any game, or just rules of the house, and by doing the best I can at anything I am doing, even if it is just practice. I can demonstrate sportsmanship in a new way by supporting my teammates in what they are doing. Sportsmanship plays a great part in the game.
