• What did you notice or observe during the challenge? I observed that this was harder than I thought. 

• What kind of questions did you ask yourself (meta)? Where can I find the Links?

• When did you first begin drawing connections between the different puzzles and pictures? Sometimes I feel like different colored Dinosaurs, Red is mad, blue is sad, yellow is fun.

• What were those connections?  Those connections were to me.

• What thinking moves did you use when playing this game (questioning, connecting, listening, observing, deducing, reasoning, etc? I sometimes only tried to find the weapon or any item for that first and then I could find the whole set.

• How did organizing your information impact your experience playing the game? It showed me that documenting and taking notes is only for the better and then you get to look back and say how much better you can do.

• Where else do you use these thinking skills (at school, at home, on sports teams, etc)? I use them probably everywhere for strategy and the art of what I’m doing.

• When might you need this kind of thinking? At school during a test or a sports game.

I think that slavery was caused by people being lazy and having people doing stuff for them without getting payed, I think its because people were racist specifically against African American’s because they didn’t like the color of there skin, and last but not least I think that people are just wanting people/African Americans to not live the life that they wanted. White slave owners thought that they were so much better than African American’s that they would whip there slaves if they weren’t working because they were lazy and very Racist. Slaves grew corn, tabbaco, potatoes,  sugar cane, etc. Slaves moved to colonies because it was not there choice the masters would load them up on a ship and have barely any room to breathe and send them across the ocean so they could suffer. Mostly slaves were from Africa but some were from England and around the U.K.. There were so many slaves because the masters needed for them to get work done and so that they could sell the slaves.

• What did you notice or observe during the game? That ocayle is good at guessing who it is.
• What kind of questions did you ask yourself (meta)? What ever I’m thinking think the opposite.
• When did you first begin drawing connections between different characters, clues, pieces of information?Well I recorded on google sheets.
• What were those connections?The ones that I relate to.
• What were your biggest clues? I didn’t really have any. It was a short game.
• What information seems most important to collect? The one that stands out
• *What is the difference between an observation and information? Fact and think

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
