Hall of Fame Poster
Click to open larger image.
For this project, we had to make a poster about who we should induct if there was a hall of fame during the renaissance, reformation, or scientific revolution period. I chose to do Galileo Galilei because he discovered more things that anyone during that time period. I knew some things about Galileo, and I thought that he would be the easiest one to do. In my opinion, this project was one of the easiest projects I have done so far.
Usually when you make a poster, you get poster board to make the poster. To make this poster, we used Microsoft Word to make it and it made it a lot easier. Working with Microsoft Word was a little hard because it kept rearranging things and it got me mad. After I fixed all the rearrangements, I got to work and finished everything. In the end, I thought it was the best project I had done so far in the year.

Crispin Project
|
For this project, we had to show our understanding of the book Crispin, the Cross of Lead. We had to show our understanding by making a visual and writing about it. I made a presentation for my visual and made a journal for the writing. To show my understanding of the story, my journal was about how Crispin changed throughout the story. Crispin was a really shy boy, until he met Bear. Bear showed him everything he knows. After that, Crispin became brave at the end.
This reminds me of a response to literature. A response to literature is like showing your understanding of the story by finding out what is the theme. I have done a lot of response to literature and it is really easy to find the theme of the story. I would say that the theme of this story is how Crispin changed and change is not easy. |
The Big Wave Haiku Project

For this project, we had to make a haiku and make it like this using Google Draw. In Google Draw, you can make all sorts of stuff like this haiku. It was pretty hard at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was so easy. Google Draw reminds me of Microsoft Publisher. They are both similar. The difference would be that Microsoft Publisher would be used to make a greeting card or a newsletter or other things.
I never had to do this haiku project before. I have done this format with the circle and the arrows before. I have done this format to show how the story turns out. I never knew how to do a haiku poem before, but know I know how to make a haiku poem. A haiku contains 3 lines. The first line has five syllables, the second seven, and the third has five like the first one. What I learned was how to make a haiku poem, use Google Draw, and make this haiku project.

For this assignment, we had to make an Andalusian poem about an animal or weather event in Shabanu. I decided to do a sandstorm because that made a lot of problems happen in Shabanu. What I learned was how to make an Andalusian poem.
I have never done an Andalusian poem before, so this is new to me. If I do have this experience again, I will know what to do and teach other people. For this assignment I used Google Docs to make this. What I learned was how to make an Andalusian poem.

Rome poem

For this assignment, we had to make a poem about the Fall of Rome. My class read about the fall of Rome so we had to make a poem about it. What I learned from this assignment was how Rome fell and how to make a poem. Rome had made so many mistakes that its empire ended.
This reminds me of when I had to write a poem in the 3rd grade. It was a writing assignment and we had to write about a special person. I picked my dad because he is the best so I did and I got an A. For this project I used Google Docs because Mrs.Kanzler wanted us to use it. What I learned from Google Docs was how to set it up and what font to use.
