Biochemistry Benchmark Quarter 1

Our project had to be about the science since the 17th century. We worked with a parter that is in our stream. We had to do research about the specific scient that you and your partner chose. We had to make a presentation that was persuasive to Mr. Best and the rest of the class for them to vote for our scientist for the SLAward. The SLAward is like a recognition to all the things that a scientist did for our world.

My scientist was Charles Darwin. We were told to research Charles Darwin and say why he deserves and is worth of the SLAward.

If I had to do this project over again I would follow the planed schedule in order to have all parts fully completed and submitted on time

Quarter 1 History Benchmark

In quarter one in my history class we were learning about King Tut and we were given a scenario where we had to be a committee and persuade the towns representative to use are committee to plan out King Tut’s stay in a town called Pre-Wadjet.

I was in charge of culinary and religious portions of the project. I created the menu for Friday night’s dinner and the Grand dinner.

If I could do this project again I would probably make sure I manage my time wisely and make sure everything is completed with excellent quality work at least a day before the assignment is due.


Spanish 1 Benchmark for Quarter 1

In my Spanish 1 class I learned the basics of Spanish. I learned how to greet someone, how to ask someone their name, how to order food, etc. We were given a scenario for our Benchmark. The scenario was that we were imagining we were creating a brochure for people who speak Spanish in order for them to be able to translate their Spanish words into English.


I made my brochure colorful to make sure that it was eye-catching so it can draw the reader to my brochure in particular out of many brochures. I took everything that I learned and used key things that a fluent Spanish speaker would need to know in order to get by in an English speaking country such as America. I also made sure my brochure was filled with valuable information.

First Quarter English Benchmark

In English class I was learning about how to form the structure of a Thesis paper and how to write creatively. Our benchmark had two parts. They were Thesis and Creative pieces. While learning these skills we were reading a book entitled “The Odyssey” and watching a movie with a similar plot called “Troy”. For the first part we were instructed to write a thesis paper and use evidence from the story to support your thesis statement. For the second part we had to create a hero and a story. The requirements were to make up a conflict for your hero to go through and to include an epic simile and/ or metaphor in order to describe something in your story.

My reaction to Obama's Speech_November 6, 2008

I am so happy to say that Barack Obama is the president elect. I don't know about anyone else but I look past the color of his skin and see very strong character and intelligence that can and will lead our country in the right direction.
