Personal Statement # 2

Project Description: First quarter in our Algebra class, I taught a class. The students and teacher switched roles in the classroom, and we taught lessons from our sequence unit. This unit consisted of the Fibonacci, cubic, and binary sequences. My group members, and I presented the cubic sequence.

I chose to present this because… although it was a math project, every other subject that we do in school was involved. So, it just wasn’t a math project, but it served as a mini representation of the skills that I’ve learned within all classrooms.

This piece demonstrates that I… can take a powerful stand in a new world. I had limited knowledge about sequences, but I indulged myself in a world of research, and later presented my findings. The greatness behind this project was that not only did I educate myself on something new, but also I shared my knowledge with others. I was very proud of presenting recently gained knowledge, as if it was something that I’ve known from birth.

What I learned from this assignment: I learned that there are numerous ways of discovering, and learning new things. I was forced to look at sequences from multiple points of views. I looked at it from my eyes, the eyes of my group members, and the eyes of the mathematician who provided, and discovered the sequence. This project was also my first attempt to make world, and everyday life connections in math.

Project Description: Kindred was the first text that we read this year. We studied our texts, paying special attention to our five core values. As part of wrapping up the Kindred unit, we reflected on it, by proving a thesis statement in a five-paragraph essay.

I chose to present this because… everyone forms his or her own point of view, and receives a book differently. My interpretation of Kindred may not have been the world’s interpretation, and I wanted my views on Kindred to be heard.

This piece demonstrates that I’m… my own individual person who makes her own judgments. My thoughts are not influenced by what society thinks, but only by my beliefs. So, although my classmates held various views of the characters in Kindred, mine may have differed, and I made those differences known.

What I learned from this assignment: This was my first time exposure with five-paragraph essay. I learned about thesis statements, and how to prove them, and the structure of a five- paragraph essay. I also learned how to support my points with cited evidence and outside sources.

The following project is a persuasive essay on why the King Tut artifacts should be displayed in the Franklin Institute. This was completed through numberous edits and succcessfully writen. I realized that the artifacts in the exhibit are more controversal than I thought, i did not think that displaying the specimens would be considered wrong or unjust.

The following project is a creative essay on a journey home. This was completed through numberous edits and succcessfully writen. Through writing this I realized how much description affects how the reader identifies with the story.
