This I believe Reflection (:

Project description: Well in this project when we first started we needed to do 3o things on what you believe and write it about the stuff that is really important and interesting in your life. And then we needed to choose a quote of the 30 things that we wrote and I choose " Everything happens for a reason ". And then write an essay about your quote that you choose and I choose that quote because a lot of stuff happen to me and well everything that happens it happens for a reason.


Reflection: In this project of I believe it made me believe more in things and trust more. And also this project I also noticed that my other friend they also believe more in stuff thanks to this project. I think that this project really help me a lot on believing more stuff.


I think that I did challenge because in the essay we needed to write at least 4oo words or 5oo the max and well when I was typing my essay I though that I did like 4oo or less that that but when I check on the word a count it was 784 words and it was a lot and I needed to arrange some of my work so then I just stayed with 5oo words and I think I did challenge because I wrote a lot.


What I would do different would be spent more time in my work even though I know I have the enough time to do my work but what I do different is spent more time on it.


This project would help me a lot later on when I grow up because I could be a writer or be an expert on projects of writing and some other stuff but I really think his would help m a lot later on.

My Ishmael R.E.M

Project description: for this project was based of My Ishmael its the book that we have been reading for the longest. They gave us the chance to choose our own chapter and do something of it. And also we could of do how much we wanted to but I just wanted to do one. Which was tho one of the illustrator the drawing and I choose that one because I love painting and because its fun and better.


Process: First thing I did was to get a piece of paper and practice my drawing with it and see how its going to look like. Second what I did I started to draw first with a pencil and then deleting my mistakes and then in color. Third when I was done with my drawing with a pencil I started to color it with the lightens color so it would look like if I had painted, doing it smooth.


Reflection: I learn that going to school is good to get a job when you grow up. And when you finish so they could go work and get money for the stuff that we need. Well at first it wasn't that easy but then when I was on half of it started to sound easier and well I noticed that always at the beginning its always going to be hard but when your in the middle of it looks easier. Sometimes you just have to try hard so it wont be that hard. Well I think I would do the same because in this project I took a little of while and it wasn't that easy but I tried my best and I did a hard work and I know I did well so i think I wouldn't change it and I would just do the same thing. This would help me a lot after because this show me how much work and effort you have to do to get a good grade and to understand it better and it would also help me later on drawing because if we do projects of drawing and painting lately now you would be an expert on this.

Evelyn Glennie: shows how to listen :D

What will you remember about her performance ?

I would remember all the emotions that she has for music. All that type of sounds that she did but speacially in the marimba. And also I would never forget either that even though shes deaf she knows how to do all those kind of sounds and I know she could feel it.


Describe what it felt like listening to her play. What factors helped create this moment ? You can describe any of the times that she played or either instrument.

Well I really had fun listening at her perfomance because like all the kinds of sounds she would do it would like relax me. Also it would inspired me that even though shes deaf she knows how to focused on what she was doing. And I really like how she was useing the drums because also she would do it with the sticks in the sides to make differents sounds.


What elements of her perfomance influenced what the audince heard ?

I think that she put a lot of effort in the performance. At first I didn't know that she was deaf because everything that she does with the sounds it doesn't look that shes deaf until she said that she was deaf since she was 12 years old. And well everytime she would do the sound it would feel good.


What did she mean by " Each person experiences music in their own way" ?

I think that she meant that some people might be blind but, they know how to feel the music and do different type of sounds but they have their own way to do the music and feel it. Some people don't really like the music because they think its boerding because they don't know how to feel the music and they don't know how special is. (:

But it is really important to eat organic food and be haelthy.

School Daze Dialectic Journals

Quote: " Yeah," I said with a bitter laugh. " Only about eighty million kids went to bed last night praying for six feet of snow to fall so the schools would have to close. " (page.131)


Response:
I think that this quote is intersting because I feel that way sometimes. School should be a place that you can meet new people and learn about the subjects that you like. And some students don't like school But unfortonely we have to come because that would help us get a good job when we grove up. Some kids don't like going to school because they think that its lame but they have to because is something that they need to do. But also there some student that do like coming to school because they like school subjects.
