Core is two classes put together. I have a lot of fun in history class because of the simulations we do every unit. In literature class it's fun because of all the projects and papers we do for an activity.
This project is about the Five Pillars of Islam. This project talks about all the five pillars and what their names mean. I learned what the names are and what the names mean. I also learned that there are actually five pillars in Islam. I chose this project because it talks about what almost everyone learned.
I chose this to talk about because it is an important book that my core class is reading. Another reason was because I thought it would be cool to show what we were reading in core. This has taught me about the story line a little more. It has also taught me a lot about the people from this book. This is what this book has taught me and and why I chose it.
This assignment was done in the last couple of weeks of the second quarter. i chose to add this to my website because it was a big part of our history section. This assignment taught me about the history of Africa and the hardships of trying to get through the hajj. Another reason I wanted to add this to the website was because this assignment also taught me about what it was like during that time. This assignment has taught me and that is why I chose it.
During the second quarter we had to write an Andalusian Poem. This taught us how to write a different type of poetry.m This also taught us a different type of culture of writing. I had a really fun time writing the poem.
This is called Crispin journal. I believe that only a couple of teachers did this assignment. This assignment had us answering a questions about the chapters we read and how we would do something in our own ways. This also had us actually look through the book to find evidence of stuff like complex sentences and stuff like that. This was a very interesting assignment to work on in the quarter.
This is a haiku for The Big Wave. This required us to read the book and write about what was the different parts of the book. After we were done we had to write a paragraph about what the meaning was or the theme meant. This was really fun to do and I hope we do more stuff like this.
This was a project we had to do for core class. This required us to pick a person during the Renaissance time and learn about them. For McAlary's class we had to write the rough draft of notes for our poster before starting the poster in computers. When we gathered all of the information we began to create the poster adding a background, picture and the notes to the poster and made it look creative. This was an interesting project and I really enjoyed learning about William Shakespeare
This was a project from about a couple of weeks ago. We had to go on a webquest and go to the different links to find out more information. We had to go back and look at things that were there from the 60s and what was popular then. Also we had to learn about the prices for things such as gas, toys and homes. This was a fun project to do and it taught me more about the 60s.
