Project Reflection


Project Title: Family History Project

Class: Humanities Date: 10-17-07

PURPOSE
In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.



In order to learn about Mt. Pinatubo, we had to create a narrative about the event. Then interview a person in your family that experienced the event. Revise a writing entry for a personal narrative. Research about the event on the Internet or from a book. Then site the source from where you got it. Then make it into a scrapbook or a newsletter for the final product.

WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.



I learned about Mt. Pinatubo , how it erupted, when it erupted, and how the eruption affected the community in Luzon, Philippines. In this project , I learned how to take good notes so the person you are interviewing doesn't have to repeat anything they said.

REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?








The part that enjoyed during this project was when we presented our work to the parents. I feel like I could have done better on this project because I think I could have done more and added a few more pictures to my final product. Next time, I would try to have at least more than half a page of information, and at least 4 pictures about the event.


ARTIFACTS
You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?

A picture of the ash cloud from Mt. Pinatubo. I would have brought more artifacts but we left it in my grandparents house in the Philippines.

The Wave OP#5

#2 The sentence that stood out to me was " I certainly became more of a leader that then i intended to be" It stands out to me because lots of people can take things too far without noticing. I do that sometimes, mostly when I'm distracted or in a bad mood.

#3 What do you think Robert will do next?

The Wave OP#4

#1 I think that Ben is feeling like The Wave is getting out of hand. Most of the teachers are getting upset and so are the parents. Some students are also taking this way too seriously.

#2 The sentence that stood out o me was " If they're The Wave, we could be The Ripple" I chose this because it sounded funny and it shows how jealous they are of The Wave and how useless they think The Wave is.

#3 If you were in Mr. Ross's class and no one else knows except you and your class, would you tell people about it? Why or why not?

The Wave Op#3

#1 The two clues that I saw is that some kids are actually cutting class so they can go to Ben's class. Most of the school wants to join. Even if they are in a lower grade or higher grade.

#2 The line that jumped out to me the most was "Around the room students jumped to attention beside their desks and gave The Wave salute. Strength through discipline, strength through community, strength through action" I chose this long line because it shows how interested, curious, and dedicated they are to The Wave.

#3 Do you really think that in a couple months no one will even remember about The Wave? "quote form Mrs.Saunders" and Why or Why not?

The Wave#2

#1 The Waves motto "Strength through discipline, Strength through community" spread through school because of the football team. It affected David the most because he thought the football team needs it so their team can finally win a game.

#2 The line that stood out to me was "Maybe you're becoming a guinea pig in your own experiment" That line stood out to me because when it sounds like a joke its really a warning. I can sort of tell because most people I know do that.

#3 Do you think The Wave is effecting the school in anyway?
