Driving Questions

1. Answer the driving question–Why do I look the way I do?

I look the way I do because of my genetics and because of my DNA. I have 23 chromosomes from my mom and 23 from my dad. Those chromosomes hold my DNA and my Genes. Those make me look the way I do.
2. This quarter you analyzed data and wrote a scientific argument from that analysis. What were your strengths? What challenges did you have? How did you deal with those challenges? What will you do differently next time?

I would say that growing from my feedback was one of my strengths. Coming in I had no idea what to do, so when people gave me things to fix I tried to fix them as best as I could. I struggled with how to write the CER at first. I dealt with these challenges by asking for help from my peers and from Gev. Jirovetz. Next time I will try to tell the story of what I did so I won’t have so many questions.
3. This class involves extensive collaboration with others. What are your strengths in this area? What are your areas for growth?

I think that I work well with others in this class. I do think that sometimes I get distracted while working with certain people. That means that I have to figure out who I work well with and who I don’t so I can get my work done well and efficiently.
