High Holiday Project Brainstorm

What do I know about my topic? Describe all the details, information, ideas that you do know. I don’t know anything about my topic so yeah.

What are 10 other questions I have that I need to research for a further study? What the services looked like? What’s the difference between now and then? And pretty much everything about this topic.

Where will I begin to look for those answers? I’m going to learn by rabbi’s online because I have done that before and it works.

What help do I need to move forward in my project? I need some background knowledge about this.

6th One Pager Reflection

  1. Explain the five choices you made on your one-pager and how they show your comprehension of the book or what you learned from the book.                                                                                                                                                          My first choice was to make a border with the names of the main characters. I chose this because they are the main part of the story. The next one I chose was to have a border with the main parts of the story and some of there personality traits. I chose this because if you didn’t know that Theo Boone was 12 it wouldn’t make a lot of sense. My third one was to draw the key characters and how the change and interact. I chose this because each one of the people had a part to figure out if Pete Duffy was guilty or innocence. My next one was the main part of the story which was the gloves, it’s the way that the learned that Pete Duffy was guilty. My last one was I put a few quotes that are important to the story. I chose these ones because these where the ones that stood out to me.
  2. Explain two pieces of textual evidence from your map, and why you choose that text for your one-pager.                   My first quote is “He did smile at here, though, but she did not return the smile. Her teeth were somewhere in the house.” I love this quote because its Pete Duffy before he killed his wife. and it really says did”n’t” and its crost off in the book. My second one is “You’re a good Lawyer Theo.” even though he is a 12-year-old he acts like a 30-year-old and he gets a lot of respect for being so smart instead of being bullied.

 

How I Would Improve my Solar Oven

If I had the opportunity to build or change parts of my solar oven again, I would do the following: I would use more felt for insulation because I didn’t use a lot of insulation. This would help my solar oven because it would make my solar oven hotter. I would also use my tinfoil so that it would reflect more on my food, which would make it cook faster.

Partner DBQ Reflection

  1. How do you analyze documents with a partner? We both read it and then discuss it.
  2. What is useful about working with a partner when you analyze sources? I get to see a different point of view.
  3. What did you not like about working with a partner? Why? Nothing we worked very well together.
  4. Did working with a partner help you better answer our essential question? Why or Why not? Yes because I was with my friends so we had a lot of fun doing it.

Experiential Exodus Reflection

I learned a lot of new things about the exodus. I didn’t know that there are so many more characters other than Moses and Pharoh. Prep was very rushed because we didn’t have a lot of time to prep so it was very hard to do. Because I was gone for the Experiential Exodus I couldn’t do any of it. Even though I wasn’t there, I have heard that it was fun even though we messed up a few times.

Timeline Blog

How did the events we looked at today lead to the cause of the Civil War? Some of them where like Norh trying to steal weapons of South, so they could be getting angry from those attack’s.

How did this activity show us the lead up to the Civil War? It showed us how the Civil War started and the Prequel of the Civil War.

What did you find most valuable about this activity? It was cool to learn more facts about before the Civil War.

Why is it important to learn about the events that lead to the Civil War? Because, all this stuff leads to the Civil War so we need to know what happens before the Civil War.

Why do you think your event lead to the Civil War? In ours a guy was stealing south guns and other weapons and tried to get them to the north, but the south captured him.

Civil War Speed Dating Reflection

  • What role did your character play in causing the Civil War?                                                                                                    She helped take people from the South to the North.
  • Did your Character believe in slavery? Why? Why not?                                                                                                                        No, she was a slave and didn’t like it.   
  • Does your character believe that the government should have the power to tell states what to do?                                No, she didn’t like state rights.
  • What other person/people does your character believe is most at fault for causing the war?                                           South is more responsible.
  • Do you like the character you were assigned? Why?                                                                                                                   I had to use Harriet Tubman for this because the person I was assigned to was James K. Polk and he didn’t have to do with anything in the civil war. I liked him because I didn’t have to do as much work as others. 

Scientific Explanation Round 2

Scientific Question We Investigated: Does air have mass

Air has mass. I know that because we tested with balloons. First, we weighed a balloon that was not blown up in ounces. It was 2 ounces. Then we blew up the balloon with air. That weighed 2.7 ounces, which is 0.7 more oz.

Air helps keep things in the air. But sometimes it makes the object fall. Like when we filled up the balloon with air it started sinking. That meant that it was getting really heavy, which proves that air is matter and matter has mass. Another example is clouds, they weight about 1 million oz and air keeps them up in the sky than on the ground, that proves that air has matter.
