Roots of the Enlightenment

Roots of the Enlightenment

It started in the Renaissance between 14-17 century. This event made a big impact on the world. There was news belief called Humanism, Humanism values humans, life purpose, love, peace. People started using logic, some people stop believing in supernatural beings for example god. People start getting interested in science, which leads to the scientific revolution. There were many new scientists and new invention. 

Scientific Revolution Presentation

While Ms.Maria was away, I made a presentation and drew a diagram about Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's Compound Microscope. My scientific revolution presentation was about Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's Compound Microscope. I draw a diagram and explain each part and how it works to all of my classmates and let them take notes on their computer. I part I like the most about this project was presenting it to my friends, but I part I dislike is the part that I have to draw the diagram because I'm not a good artist. 

Pinch Pot Monster Reflection

1.

2. The hardest part of this project is making and adding parts like wings, horns, hands, eyes, etc. The easiest part of this project is shaping the clay and letting it dry.

3. The part I didn't like is cleaning at the end of the class because nobody likes cleaning.

4. The part I enjoy the most is when every part of the clay is finished because the clay when it's done looks very nice.

5. Some of the things that frustrate me is having to put slip on over and over again because your monster have a crack in them,

6. If I could add something to my monster I would add and make a better wing because my wings are too low and look very weird.

7. The emotion I'm trying to get across my monster is creepiness and weirdness.

8. I would give my work a 7 because I didn't spend a lot of time on it, some of the parts look weird.

9. I learn pinching the monster is very hard and it takes a lot of patients.

10. I'm pretty happy about my result after all it looks nice and creepy at the same time.

11. I enjoy the project and pinching the clay.

12. My art skill didn't improve and I didn't new skills because my sketch of the monster and the finished result looks completely different.

13. I should spend more time on my monster because I finish before everyone else.

Mind Mapping The Protestant Reformation

In Social Studies, the cause of the Protestant Reformation was the 95 these and the 95 these were the cause of the corruption in the Catholic church. The impact of this was a split in Christianity, people stop believing in the pope, there was war, the 95 these were spread around the world and people stop paying indulgence.

What I learn this week on Social Studies

This week in social studies I learn about Renaissance and the reformation. We learn about who was the main figure and we learn specific details about Martin Luther, John Calvin, and all the members of the Medici family.In class, Ms.Maria thought us how to make a mindmap. We also went to Mr.Said's class to go make a mind map about the renaissance and the reformation.

What I Learn in Language Art Last Week

Last week in Language Art I learn about Characterization, direct characterization, and indirect characterization. We look at an example of both direct characterizations, indirect characterization and how to define them. We also learn the difference between the two characterizations. We also read the book called Lamb to the Slaughter and Ms.Maria let us find the traits of the two character which is Mary Maloney and Patrick Maloney.

Band Reflection

1. Which adjectives did you choose to convey? Do you think you were successful in conveying those adjectives? Why or why not?

I gave it exciting and fun because in the music there are many whole notes it in. I was successful in choosing the adjectives because the songs were pretty exciting and fun.

2. How did your first draft compare to your final recording?  Did you make good improvements?  Were you happy with your final draft?

In my first draft, I didn’t really know what was going on in the music and I didn’t know that there was key signature. In the final draft, my tempo was better, I started to know some of the key signatures and improve a little bit. I wasn’t really happy about my solo because I didn't practice a lot.

3. Which measures or musical elements did you think sounded the best? What sounded so good about them?  Give at least 2 examples.

I think around the last 10 measures I did well because there are not many 8 notes so I can play them easily.

4. Which measures or musical elements sounded weak?  How could you have fixed them?  Give at least 2 examples that you weren’t happy with.

The measure that I wasn’t happy with is the measure with many 8 notes or the triplet because notes are played differently because of the key signature so I didn’t really know most of the position.

5. Which measures were the easiest for you to prepare?  Why did you find them easy?  Give at least 2 examples.

The first 2 measure and the last 10 measure. The first 2 measure were easy because there were not many 8 notes in it and the last 10 measure was easy because there were also a lot of whole notes.

6. Which measures were the most difficult for you to learn?  What made them challenging?  Give at least 2 examples.

If there are no key signature I would of play all the whole songs right, but since I was fooling around and didn’t look carefully I didn’t notice the key signature. So the key signature was the hardest part for me.

7. Which steps in the learning process did you find the most helpful?  Why were these so helpful?

The clap and count are the most helpful for me because It helps me with keeping the tempo together.

8. The next time you rehearse a solo, what would you do differently to prepare?

I would pay more attention, and look if there are any change in the flats or in the key signature

Reflection Question

1. Our team has work very hard in this project because we want to be successful. In this we help each other to success for example Adam, he bring  in tools for the project so we can make spinner more faster. Nozomu was also helpful because he help me think about an idea for the comercial advertisement 

2.  A  We work together as a group. I work with Nozomu with the making of the comercial and making of the comercial. Nick, Adam, and Tonpo help each other to build the spinner. Kenny and Captain help each other on the 2D add.

     B  In the group I was good at coming up with an idea

     C  My role in the group was the director for the video add, but when I'm done with my job. I went captain with the 2D advertisement, and help Kenny with the poster. 

     D  I apply the critical thinking skills in my future job and also bring the teamwork into it.

3. My favorite part was phase 2 because we get closer to selling our product, making our product and selling for money.

Identifying Unknown Substance

          1. Chemical reaction is a process where you mix 1 or more chemicals together to created                         another mixture. Just like in science class when I mix baking soda mixed with cream of                       tartar and it became baking powder.

          2. The chemical that make up baking powder is baking soda mixed with cream of tartar

          3. The process to make the mystery powder is to mix baking soda and mix it with cream of                     tartar

          4. We test out all of the materials to identify the unknown substance

          5. The important safety considerations of middle school is not to play around with materials                     because some materials are dangerous. Some of the materials can cause damage to your                       eyes.

Science Reflection

          In this quarter I learn about water cycle, I learn many vocabs such as evaporation, condensation, transpiration, and precipitation. I learn what those word means, I learn how to the water cycle work.
          In this quarter I learn about teamwork. I learn that teamwork is not an easy thing to do, for example you're doing a project and your friend and you each have an ideas, so you have to come up with one ideas, so that's what hard about timeworks. Sometime people doesn't agree with your idea or you don't agree with someone else idea. (Deal with it)
          In the design project our project was to create condensation inside the pot so it will create water vapor inside and the water will go inside.

Save the town project.

1. What conflict did your team have?

Some of the conflict that our team face is selecting an idea because everybody think that their idea is the best idea.

2.  How did you overcome those conflicts?

I overcome those conflicts by telling everybody to combine their idea.

3. How did you improvise?

First I thought we were just going to go and stick with one idea, but it came out that everybody was voting for their idea. What I did to improvise was to combine everybody's idea into one idea and that's how we survive 10 bucket of water.

4. How can science help people with erosion and landslides?

Science can help people come up with ideas for erosion and landslides. Science can help us predict what's going to happen to the soil or will the soil come off.
