**Math**
 * This schoolyear was quite good for me.As a student that had just came last February ,there are thing that they're were studying that I didn't know but there are also things that I already knew.One of the things that I already knew before was finding out the volume**. **I already know that because we already studied that when we were 4th grade and 6th grade on the Philippines.I already studied Mesopotamia on Social Studies in the Phillipines so I'm**=====
 * pretty sure that I did well on that topic.Eventhough I have things that Im good at ,I still need to improve in memorizing ideas in Science and Social Studies.I also need to stop hurrying up because I always make typographical errors when Im hurrying up.My goals for the next 6week are to be more studious and learn to memorize important ideas .Another goal of mine is to stop procastinating .**

**TERM 2 REFLECTION**

**where did you struggle and**
====**how will you do better next term?** ====


 * As a new student,it became so hard to be good in things you had never done before but some things were pretty easy.On my first day of school,we were studying about “volume of cylinders and prisms.I had studied those things before so I’m pretty sure that I did well on my first day of school. While studying volume,I learned these formulas Side.Side.Side for cube pi.r.r.h for a cylinder ,l.w.h for the rectangular prism and //b . h1 .h2// for a triangular prism.In times when the diameter is given instead of a radius,you got to divide the diameter by half to get the radius.I get confused with this formulas sometimes but I managed to figure out what formula to use and get the right answers.So,to be better next term,I got to memorized the right formulas for each shape. **

Integers

 * We had a Math Test about Integers.I made mistakes and I'm here to show everything I did wrong. **


 * Question:Suppose you subtract -7 from the quotient of -16 and -4.What is the answer? **
 * My answer: **
 * (-16 / -4) - (-7) **
 * 4 -(-7) **
 * 3 - subtraction of negative integer and another negative integer in a bracket is addition which means my answer is wrong **


 * My correction: **
 * (-16/-4) - (-7) **
 * 4 - (-7) **
 * 11 **


 * Question: -20 - (-12) / 4 **
 * My Answer: **
 * -20 - [(-12)/(4)] **
 * -20-(-3) **
 * -23 ** - negative integer subtracted by a negative integer in a bracket is subtraction but I add it so I'm wrong

My Correction: -20 -(-12) /4 -20 - (-3)  -17

My Correction: -6-3x2 -6-6 12
 * Question : -6-3 x 2 **
 * My Answer: **
 * -6-3x2 **
 * -6-6 **
 * 0 ** - wrong subtraction,should be addition

GRADE EIGHT STUDENT ASSIGNMENT- PORTFOLIO REFLECTION TASK/INTENT/CRITERIA

Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components:

Subject:Language Arts TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to make a card that has a definition,example and a illustration of a simile. INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment? There are several reason why I completed this assignment.First,this assignment helped me comprhend more about topic by finding out its definition.Furthermore,I was supposed to make an example which is great because it tests my knowledge asbout the topic.Lastly,I can also use this as a study tool. NEXT STEPS:
 * the definition should be accurate
 * the example should be your own
 * make an illustration that reflects the example
 * make a frame that is about the example

Cuneiform Definition Card GRADE EIGHT STUDENT ASSIGNMENT- PORTFOLIO REFLECTION TASK/INTENT/CRITERIA Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components:

Subject:Social Studies ASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to make a definition card about a specific word from our "MESOPOTAMIAN TERMS TO DEFINE" that will show their definition and illustration. INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? First,the assignnment helped me understand more about the word by serving as a study tool. Next,the illustration helped me comprehend more about the item by being a visual tool.Furthermore,it helped me describe what the item was like. CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment? NEXT STEPS: I can now understand more about the topic by using an accurate definition and illustration. I can now make an illustration to represent a topic and be a study tool.
 * the illustration should be clear and depicts the word properly
 * the definition should be accurate
 * the frame should reflect the topic



Cuneiform Reflection I gave myself a mark of 8 out of 10 because of some reasons. First of all, I enjoyed the activity and I thought I really did well. I wrote the symbols carefully and it looked like how it is supposed to. Secondly, the impressions are deep enough and easy to read. The third and the last reason why I didn’t gave myself a perfect mark was the shaping of the clay. I spend half of my time shaping the clay with a rolling pin. I also used my bare-hands which caused the clay to stick in my hands. - This activity was quite enjoying because I got to know what scribes do. It’s my first time to do this activity which gave me a sense of adventure while doing this. I found the impression-making fun but at the same time difficult because I was trying to make an impression deep enough but wont break through but that was the hard part about it,t he thrilling part that made it fun was when you kept asking yourself “Will it look like how it is supposed to be ?”.I also found the shaping of the clay difficult because it took half of my time and I kept ripping the paper below it. - For the next time we will do this activity, I will act faster in shaping the clay into a square so that it wont take all my time. -

I wrote “3 oxen and 10 birds by Great King” on my cuneiform tablet.

Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components: Subject:Social Studies TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was asked to write a reflection that has everything I learned,do,thing I did well on and in those I didnt in making cuneiforms.

INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? There are several reasons why I completed this assignment.First,I can used this reflection as a study tool in understanding furthermore about cuneiform making.Next,this assignment shows everything I learned about what Ms.Hay thought us about cuneiform making.Lastly,we wrote I experienced on how to make a cuneiform which can be a proof that I did some work. CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment?


 * the reflection should make sense
 * it should have everything you did well on and everything you didn't
 * give your own score.The score should reflect the reflection

NEXT STEPS: I can now make a written reflection based our assignments I can now give myself a score based on criterias

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Our topic in our Two Minutes to Make A Difference is about Pollution. While working on the project,I had the questions why is there pollution and why did it became worst time after time.We also researched about what is pollution,what are the causes of pollution,when did pollution began and who are affected by pollution.So far,we are in the stage of gathering media (photos and music) in our project.The project will be due on May 2 2011.
