Edcamp Reflection

I though the edcamp experience was fun. I would personally do it again. I liked the first edcamp that was about Julie DeGenero’s time a prosecutor. I liked it because i am very interested in the law and how it works. So she told us about some of her cases and the trial’s. She told us about the funniest cases like in cony island on the beach there was petting zoo on the board walk, and someone started to chock the llama. We got to ask question and then she answered them. The second edcamp Was about Lori Weiser and her job as an orthopedic surgeon. She showed us a presentation she made then we got to ask her questions. Then she demonstrated how to put and take of a cast. Overall it was a good experience and I am glad we get to do it again.

Colonial America Book Reflection

I liked the colonial book project. But it took to a long time here is the long process of the book. First we got plan books and set up our plan. Then we we went to library to learn how to do a citation. Then we used the websites and books that were provided to us. We had special times when we could use the books. We researched about our chapter 1 first for about 1 week then we started working on our chapter 2. It was a little stressful because when we looked through a new book we had to write the citation for the book. Then after we thought we had enough we wrote all the information on index cards. Then we wrote it all down on our yellow notepad and then we copied the text from the notepad and typed it up on the computer. Then we repeated this process until all of our text was typed up. Then our teacher checked it and after that we were allowed to paste it into our book presentation in slides. Then we went to computer lab to learn how to do a bibliography. Then we made our bibliography and glossary. Then we looked for pictures we could add. Then we added the pictures. Once we were all done with all that, we had to write a Colonial America Blog Post which is what you are reading now. So those were all the steps of the process.

The hardest part of the book was when we had to write all the citations. Because if we didn’t write the citation we could not use that information. My favorite parts of the process was writing this post. Because it was a nice change of pace from all the research and the non – fiction writing so this was my favorite. I also really liked typing and writing my chapter 3 because we got to be a little humorous with the text we wrote. I really liked creating the characters with also keeping some of the topic information.I learned that not everything is how it seems like I though colonial life was easy but I learned it’s really not. Like the colonist had to hunt for food and can’t really buy it. One thing I think I could have done differently is with taking more time to research. So I hope you enjoy my Colonial America Book.

Colonial Day

Last week my school had colonial day. My favorite activity was toys and games. Because we got to play with old fashion games. And we also didn’t have to work. I learned that colonial life was very hard but it could also be fun. Especially playing games with the toys. I want to know why they picked George Washington as the 1st president.
