8th One Pager Summer Reading Assessment

  1. One choice I made on my project was I decided to focus on the characters. I made this choice because it shows I understood the different prospective of the characters and there transition they made through the book. Another choice I made was have five medium sized sections instead of doing a lot a small paragraphs. I made this choice because it shows I understood the structure of the book and how I could summarize the book in the best way. The final choice I made on my project was to use quotes that connected to my personal connection. This shows that I learned what the book was focused on and how it connected to me and my everyday life.
  2. I used color to show the transitions the characters had through out the book. Because one of the focuses of the book is the kids excepting what they have and living. This is shown in the lungs blossoming in the middle, that they can flourish and succeed no matter what.
  3. I choose the quote “How long will I live my life afraid of what-ifs” because I fell it connects to me in my everyday life. Sometimes I am afraid of what could happen and I hold back, but this quote tells me that I have to just do it and enjoy every moment. The other quote I choose was “I’m tired of living without really living.” I chose this quote because it shows that we hold back and don’t live to our fullest potential.
  4. One learning goal I worked the best on was managing my time. The first thing I did was write out everything I wanted to have on my one pager which I know I have a hard time with. This gave me the time to do the art portion which I like to do more. One learning goal I struggled with was summarizing the text. I wrote a lot more that was extra that wasn’t adding to my piece.
This is a picture of my one pager.

Deceleration of Independence Reflection

  1. All the rights were based off of all white men are treated equal. So in that time frame it only applied to white men so African Americans could be slaves and even white women.
  2. Being an American citizen means that even though we have these rights we  have to use them in a positive way. One example is freedom of speech, even though we have it there is still bullying. We have to be respectful of our rights.
  3. They expressed that we have these rights but we can’t us them for no reason. In the text it says” Long established governments should not be changed for light and transient reasons.”  This shows that we shouldn’t be careless with our rights.
  4. If the people don’t like they government they can changed or get rid of it. The foundation of the government should be laid down on principles and organization. The government should not be changed for stupid reasons.
