Myth Trailer

My Myth Trailer was about the Greek Myth of Pandora's Box. I started with the story of the two son's of Zeus and I carry on with the story of the box that Zeus gave Pandora. I named the movie trailer Pandora's Box because it want to focus on that story. I hope you enjoy it.

The End is Nearer Than I Expected...

In all of the commotion of 6th grade we have had fun, stressful, new, exciting, sad times. To me 6th grade has helped me as a person with learning and discovering more about my self. It had also been a journey that I have enjoyed with some of the people I know best at this school my class mates! They have encourage me to do things and helped me over come obstacles in school. I thank them for that and cannot wait to spend more time with them in 7th grade. Although I am excited to go home for the summer I will miss school and my friends.

This year a piece of work and learn that I am proud of would be the Power Point that I created with Nathaly and Alexia. We now know so much more about Ancient Indian and modern India. We learned about all the geographical features and how they helped the Civilization of Ancient India. The challenges about the project was that we found there was not enough time to finish the project in class so we had to arrange the group to meant after school to finish the Power Point. Another problem that we had was when Nathaly and I tried to combined our Power Points because we did not do it on google documents. The fonts were all different and so was the layout and it took us for ever to fix it (thanks Dad).

I have learnt so many things about my self as a learner. I know that stress for me is a weakness. At times I was coping with that stress every day. Now I know that I should communicate more with my teachers so that they know that I am stressing and so they can help to relieve some of that stress. When I do my work at home I like to plane things out so that I am not spending my whole day working. I also like to be organized not just at home but at school too. I like to know when projects are due or when things are needed so I can spread the work out evenly.

In 6th grade tried to be a model student I respect my teachers and my class mates and hope they respect and like me. I do what I am told and try best to behave appropriately in class and out of class. My participation in 6th grade I think is very good. I actively participate in class, I do my part and more when I am with partners or in a group. Organization is one of the things that I think I need to work on because it will help me with stress. I organization is satisfactory. I can forget things and I am sometimes only saved but looking in my planner. In work and everything I do in school I put in as much effort as I can and I always try to go above and beyond what is required of me.

Goal 1- In 7th grade, I plan to continue to put all my effort the work that I will be doing. I hope that I will also continue to Learn Enthusiastically with the new information that I will be given in 7th grade. I have enjoyed learning and I am sure I will next year too. Goal 2- In 7th grade, I plan to become more organized, in the way that plan my work so I can spread the work load I have and keep my stress down. I have to try and relax a little and communicate more with my teachers if I am struggling.

I would like my teachers to know that coming to this school has been a great experience. I have enjoyed all of my classes this year and the ones that I have especially loved were Drama, Humanities, and French. The reason I enjoyed Drama so much is because I love to act, I also love to make facial expressions. Although I found Humanities hard at first because of the work load I still, after getting stressed, enjoyed the dairies and learning about history. French has be amazing I am so excited about what I have learned this year I know more French than I thought and can't wait to practice in France this summer.

My favorite activity in Humanities this year is the our last Tic-Tac-Toe project. I enjoyed this project because I felt that it was more organized than the first time we did Tic-Tac-Toe. I also thought that my group did better at time management , we went to each others houses if we did not get all the work done that we had planned to do that day. Although I thought that we were too rushed our group had no time to practice our presentation in front off the class. This we because one our group planned all the work out for the 26th because that is when it was suppose to be and Alexia and I had Map Testing the day we were to practice.

Some advice I have for the class of 2018 is to have fun learning it is not that bad. The teachers are understanding but they are only understanding if you do your best work. The work load might be a hand full but you will get used to it. Try your best and put all your effort into all the work that you do. If you find that you are stressed too much don't hold it in because it will not help but if you tell people they will listen and they will try to help. You will have a great time,make new friends,learn without realizing it and you get to go on Malaysia week,which is awesome.
