Would you want your future to be decided by others ? Why or Why not?

Well if there is some people who stood up for me like my mom and dad they always stood up for me. Well yeah I could let others decide my future but only if it's the right thing. Because imagine like someone you don't know and it could be your enemy or a stranger and they told you to do stuff that would be a good future. You think it was right well your wrong because you don't see the person every day or so. So that is the reason why only let the others who stand up for decide you future not others who would threaten you and trick you.

Also in the book after the tripods came. People lots of other people were enslaved, poor and capped and it was all because of the tripods. The world was lead by the tripods. I think in the past it was beautiful and peaceful but in the future the tripod controlled everything. So the people were like this because it wasn't the peoples fault that their future became like this. It was the tripods they decided which is better in the future a beautiful and peaceful life or sarcastic and bitter life. So when the tripods made their decision

Imovie reflection.

In our Imovie it was really great because we did a really good job because we put in good pictures. We got a good introduction of King Khufu and also we put pictures of his mother and father. Also in our transitions it was really good because in every slide there was always a transition.

In the bad thing in our presentation is that our pictures were blurry. Some of our voices are fast. There was too much background voices. But next time we can try better and we did a really good job.

City Connection Reflection.

What did I do well in the Project?

Well in the project I think I did pretty well. I mean by I got a lot of graphics in each slide and I put a whole lot of effort to it. Plus I got a lot of information in each slide like the statistical information it had a lot of information about the city and the population. I got a lot of good questions and comments when I finished showing the presentation. Then when I checked the presentation score I got an A+ and I believed that I really did it. I achieved my goal in this project. I managed to get an A+. Plus my family was very happy.

What can I improve for the future presentations?

What can I improve in my presentations in the future is that I can add more slides. Also I can put in more ideas to make it very interesting and I can make my grade better. I can put much more effort. I need to put in more graphics and picture to state my information. I can find for website with the most important and interesting information I can find. Also I can improve finding more history information for the history of the main idea.

What is analysis of my performance?

What is the analysis in my performance is that I confident and loud. Plus sometimes I look at the screen of the presentation and I always look at the audience. But the problems were I talk really fast and I always get a little too rushy so I can get over it faster. But I think I did really great at my performance but I can do better then that. But I was very confident but I was a little nervous but I can try to improve on my confidence and feelings.

My learning profiles.

My learning profile is a profile A. I learn best when I get the exact detail of my work after I did an analysis, verbalization and writing. I also learn best when I am able to learn details and information with my eyes and ears even, when I am stressed out. Plus I learn best when I get encouraged I am able to synthesize and understand information from the whole perspective and I can explore ambiguity.

I need to improve in my language skills because it is very important for my learning. I need to control my stress because every time I get stressed out I have difficulty see the big problem or the main thing. I need to improve on controlling my stress because every time I get stress, my logic hemisphere (left side of the brain) is having difficulty accessing the gestalt hemisphere.

The strategies that would help me in my learning is that I need to improve in my comprehension and grammar for my language skills. The strategies that would help me in my learning is that I need to control my stress when listening to the big picture or the main subject, in order for me to do that I must calm down and get a drink of water. The strategies that would help me in my learning is that I need to improve my stress when my logic hemisphere is accessing the gestalt hemisphere, in order for me to do that I need to get a little rest or talk to my friends.

I would like my teachers to know this about me that I sometimes I can get a little worse in my English and a little good at it.
