Typing Reflection

Typing Master is a program used to improve the user's writing speed and accuarcy. In my case, it did work yet things sometimes went wrong. These things were that sometimes I dropped like 20 % of my scorebut this has its reasons. One problem the Typing Master had is that in my computer, I could only choose one course or in this case one "Essay" to do. It was tiresome doing the same thing over and over again. Nevertheless, my writing did improve. Still, I don't think this should be included in the ninth grade as I don't think I could improve more.

MAP

This is my Math MAP graph. This graph is the best that in my opinion, represents how to show these scores. This graph can also be used in many other things like the rate of growth of something or even more complicated things.








This is my Reading MAP scores. I don't think that this is the best suitable graph for showing scores of one host but what I think is that it should be used when comapring 2 different items or so. These two items or even more, should be something like effectiveness of something or those two items.













This is the Language MAP graph I did. This is actually not the most appropiate graph for showing these scores but it is more likely to show different products and their values or whatever they are showing off.

MAP Testing

MAP testing is something that students in United Sates do. This is also done in Mexico. That is the case for me and peers. MAP testings are usually very stressing and boring. Practically, the only thing that encourages me to do it well and not ust put random things (It doesn't count as you GPA in school) is that these scores can count on your further life like universities or so. Nevertheless, with all the stress caused by the test (They are very long), you still get satisfaction with seeing your scores (Of course, if they are good). This is the case for me. I love to see my peers have lower scores than I do and so I feel superior. That's one of the only thigns I like about MAP testing. Practically, the system is really good for making these tests and so I wouldn't change anything. I conclusion, these MAP tests are just another thing in school that stresses you.

Air Pollution Presentations

Today I saw 3 air pollution presentations. Most of them were pretty good yet they all looked alike as we all talked about the same problems. Nevertheless, all were convincing and so was mine. Mine, which is the fourth presentation, was similar to the others. To tell you the truth, I got kinda sad to know that mine was like all others and not that original yet the pictures in all the presentations were original and funny. If I could do my presentation again, the only thing that I would add to it is more information so it would stand out a bit more. Nevertheless, they were all good presentations.

Power Point

Power Point presentations can be messed up with some errors done daily by teachers, student, and even business men. One of this errors is "To much information". Lately, my classmates and I had a S.E. project in which we had to research a drug. Many people copied and pasted all the information they could find into one or two slide. Also, some of them had bright colors as background and bright color for the font text. This made difficult understanding some of the informatio given. Worst part of all is that even some of the presentations had spelling errors which actually made the presentations more interesting because my classmates wanted to make fun of the host by finding more spelling errors. From my vague memory I can't recall who or exactly when I have seen this mistakes yet I just know that in my school and in many others also including people not involved in schools, probably will make this mistakes and will then mess up their presentation.

Earth Day Rubric

Last day I graded two Earth Day Projects. To tell you the truth, by doing so, I just learned that my project just met the requirements. One of the videos was a bit worse than mine and very boring and it got a 5. I dont know but I think I was very harsh on that grading. The other one was very good and it got like an 8 yet most of the content was not from the author of the project. After watching this second video, I thought that my video was very bad. I would be willing to do my Earth Day Project again yet, I have other things to do. I think that this was a lesson that taught me to check over my work more frequently and put more effort into my work.
