Did you use the websites provided to you for this activity? No, I used my google search skills and I found the right answers. I like looking stuff up and finding the right sites.

How do you think you can use your cornell notes in the future? I can carry them around when I go to Actual Factual places. I can also memorize some of them so I can use them later on in life.

What are 3 new things you learned from researching the colonies in this way? I learned that they are actually very interesting, I learned that there are 3 different parts of the 13 colonies, I learned that there is a lot of info about the 13 colonies.

Why did we do this activity? It helps you remember the things that are important.  It also helps you with learning about history in normal everyday life.

How did you research for this activity? I looked up the idea and I looked for reasonable noting. Then I documented.

What were the biggest challenges you encountered during this activity? I got very mad when I couldn’t find something or I couldn’t finish for some odd reason.

How did you overcome your challenges? I built up my anger and made it positive. Then I continued.

What materials did you choose for your build and why? Popsicle sticks, cardboard, tape, colored paper, hot glue

While you test:

What are you noticing? That at least I didn’t focus that much and I want to improve. I want to help my group in a good way instead of just using tape.

What things are working? Everything on the build is working well except I think that our ladders need to be longer

How will you tweak this? Make this better? (Be specific and detailed!) Try new materials (maybe wood), more Popsicle sticks

Do you need any new materials? If so, WHY? No just more Popsicle sticks.

Why will this new design work better than your first attempt? What is your evidence? More Popsicle sticks because then Rapunzel can get up easier

1. Lucy spends 4 hours a week babysitting. Her sister Lily spends ⅞ as much time babysitting. Does Lily babysit for more or less than 4 hours? How do you know? What is the exact amount of time Lily babysits? (Addie and Simon) 

3 and a half hours

7/8ths is less than 1 and 4×1 is 4 and that is how many hours lucy has.

4 x 7/8 = x     x=3 and a half

I knew my answer was going to be smaller than 4 because

MINDSET

I picked mindset because I thought that a positive mindset really helped me and my style of learning and not giving up. I think it would help because it reminds me to step up, try again, and be a good leader.
