1. Describe a situation when you collaborated well with your group yesterday

Yesterday I collaborated well with my team when we were looking for pillows and wood. We knew exactly what to get and we did not argue.

2. Provide a specific example of a time when you did not collaborate well with your group yesterday

yesterday when we were looking for paint and spray paint our group did not collaborate well because we were arguing about how much we needed and the prices of our products.

3. For the specific example of your struggles, how would you change your behavior/actions next time so as to do better?

I would be calmer and let my groupmates choose so there was less arguing and to make it quicker. I shouldn’t care so much about colors.

4. Explain how well you planned (what you need to buy and how much) and executed that plan (actually did what you said you were going to do).

I think we planned well because we spent exactly $150 dollars and we got the exact amount of bolts and wood. We needed 12 2x4x10 and 3 2x4x12 also we needed 7 pillows, 7 carriage bolts, and more decor.

this is us finding our wood and carriage bolts.

Describe your prototype design. We took a ball and filled it halfway with cheerios and then we put the egg in. After that, we filled it the rest of the way and finally, we put tape on it.
How does your prototype protect the egg? the cheerios stop the shock waves and protect the egg from moving.
Describe your design process, in detail. Our first idea was to put hard-boiled eggs and the egg in a balloon. after we put newspaper in the ball. and we got our idea while looking in the kitchen.

What worked well in your design? our cheerios stopped the egg from cracking and it did great.
What was challenging throughout this process? It was challenging to get the tape over the cut because it did not stick.

7th One Pager Summer Reading Assessment

Explain three choices you made on your one-pager which show your comprehension of the book or what you learned from the book.

One choice I made on my project was to add an swbst about the main character. I made this choice because it shows I understood that I could only summarize certain moments and show the rest of the book in quotes and drawings of the rest of the book because a one-pager is supposed to be more pictures than summaries.

 

Another choice I made on my project was to put my rating of the book on the one-pager. I made this choice because it shows I knew that I had to put my opinion on the book and I put my rating of the book right on the sheet along with a paragraph of my choice. I gave my book a 4.5 of 5 stars and I think that my rating was a good choice.

 

One choice I made on my project was to try to draw the cover on the paper. I made this choice because it shows that I can take risks, I knew that I am not too good at drawing so I practiced a few times on the side until I felt confident that I could draw it legibly, I drew it pretty well… I think.

 

 

Explain how you used color on your one-pager.

 

I used crayons to color out some of the white space so my one pager was more colorful because my one pager had to have minimal white space. So I unwrapped a crayon and used the long side to color it all away. I think it was a good idea because it is now a lot more appealing to the eye and it is very colorful.

 

 

Explain two pieces of textual evidence and why you choose that text for your one-pager.

 

I chose the quote “All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.” because I wanted to show how lonely the main character is and how desperate she id to make physical contact.

 

I chose the quote “You can’t touch me,” I whisper. I’m lying, is what I don’t tell him. He can touch me, is what I’ll never tell him. Please touch me, is what I want to tell him.” because once again I want to show how lonely she is along with how careful she is to keep other people safe.

 

Which learning goal did you do your best work on? I think I managed my time very well.

 

Which one do you find challenging? I think I can work on inferences a little more.
