Religion

Vatican II

I chose this piece of work because this project gave me the opportunity to learn more about the Vatican II and what went on.  It also taught me what our church does so that we will be able to enjoy the mass.

From this assignment I learned that Vatican II was a very long and tedious process.  They made many changes to the mass because people where not enjoying the mass.

One thing I want to tell you about this assignment is that there are many things that the Pope does to help us understand the mass.  And Vatican II is very interesting to study.

Language Arts

Johnny Tremain

I chose this piece of work because it was one of the many pieces of literature we did this year in Ms. Palmiotto's class.  Johnny Tremain was a book we read together in class, it was full of fun things that were easy to write about.  This paper is my Jane Schaffer paper about what arrogance will do, with Johnny as a very good example.

From this assignment I learned that it is much harder to write than it looks.  It takes a lot of corrections, patients, and teaching to get this paper just the right way.  I now have that much more knowledge I can put into writing my next paper.

One thing I want to tell you about this assignment is that it was a fun and memorable experience writing this paper with the help from our teacher as well from our classmates.  I will always have the fun and enjoyable memories from writing this paper.

Math

Exploring Matter

I chose this piece of work because is was a fun and easy way to learn how much matter the planets have and how much matter you have on each one of the planets.

From this assignment I learned how much mass is in each one of the planets.  I also learned that you have different matter of Pluto that I do and Mercury.

One thing I can tell you about this assignment is that if you ever want to know how much you weigh on the other planets, an Excel project is a fun and easy way to do it.

Metric Conversions

I chose this piece of work because it was a challenge for me.  I like challenges because it makes me work for what I want to achieve.

From this assignment I learned that there are multiple ways to find the length, weight, etc. of an object.  I also learned how many centimeters there are in a pencil, how many meters there are in a football field and many other objects.

One thing I want to tell you about this assignment is that even though is was hard and challenging to accomplish the goal, it was a great experience for me to learn how to find many other dimensions of several items on a computer. 

Science

 Boyle's Law

I chose this piece of work because it is one of the few science things that interests me.  It was also a fun project to work on.  We learned a lot of things about pressure that I didn't already know.  

From this assignment I learned many things.  but the one thing that will probably stay in my memory for a while.  That thing is when pressure is increased on an object the volume is decreased. 

One thing I want to tell you about this assignment is that you may think you know all there is to know about a subject, but you are wrong.  There is always more and new things to be learned. 

Social Studies

I chose this timeline because it was a fun way to learn about what happened before and after the Civil War.  It was a very interesting process learning all about the war.  It showed what our country went through to get where it is today.

From this assignment I learned what arguments and difficulties our country had.  Even though it was a very sad war after all we went through to gain freedom, it was a very interesting war.

One thing I want to tell you about this assignment is that it is a very exciting war to learn and that you are able to gain a lot of knowledge when studying about this war.
