For my History Benchmark, my class was split into groups. My group was Rashaun, Gina, and Henry. We had to plan a huge festival for King Tut at the Per Wadjet. Basically we had to plan, manage, and organize the harvest ceremony that was being planned to be held next year. We also had to do a presentation about our plan for the festival.

          We split the project among us into sections. I had the part, which consisted of dealing with food and the refreshments. I made food menus for the formal dinner on Friday and a menu for the grand dinner. In order to make the menus I had to research the types of food they ate in ancient Egypt. I used the color scheme for the menus that is blue and gold.

For my English Benchmark I had to write a five-paragraph essay. The topic had to be related to the Odyssey. We had to write a thesis statement on it. We had to choose a theme to write about. Our themes and choices came form the book The Odyssey. We had to include a quote in every paragraph with no excuses.

For my essay I chose to write about love in the book. My thesis is that "men do not show love freely". I had very good evidence to prove my points. I put a good amount of references to the book to show the reader where I got my reasoning. I also had 5 paragraph of goo information.

Our benchmark was the “History Of Science”. My classmates and me were divided into pairs and each pair researched a scientist. We each had to make a fact sheet about the scientist. We were required to make a Power Point or Keynote presentation about the scientist. We also had to fill out an application.

For the benchmark, we were paired with a partner. My partner was Rashaun Williams who was in charge of doing the research and summarizing them. My part of the project was to organize a fact sheet and the Keynote presentation. Each of the groups was assigned a scientist to research about. My group had to research Hans Adolf Krebs.

For our geometry benchmark, my class was split into groups of two or three. We had to make a class presentation. In this project a partner and me had to create a -10minute lesson plan on a math topic given to us. We also had to create a math pamphlet on the topic. The topic that I had was Geometry in sports.

My group was Rashaun Williams, and myself. Our topic was sports and how they relate to Geometry. The sports we were given to teach about were baseball, track & field, and snowboarding. We decided for each of us to talk about one and we both talked about the last one. We had some media in our lesson such as a video on track & field and on snowboarding.

For the Spanish benchmark we had to create a brochure. It had to be universal meaning it can help a person coming from any country and speaking. The goal for our brochure was to make it professional and easy to read. We were allowed to use anyway to inform the users as long as they understood the information. The brochure must no have any English in it everything has to be in Spanish.

I made my brochure as simple as possible. I made it that way so it could be understood by anyone it felt as though I was doing a book on Spanish for Dummies. To express things in my brochure I used pictures, calendars, and cartoons. I broke it up into five sections I used date, weather, seasons, numbers, and days of the week. Overall I had a lot of fun doing this project.

My reaction to President Obama's speech was very energitic. As soon as it was decelared that he was the President of the united states I started to scream and act all hyper. His speech was great and I was so proud of him because he is the first black President. Although I knew that he was probaly going to win I was still suprised for some odd reason. I almost cried when he made the speech it was so beautiful.

I almost cried because of the 106 year old woman that her story was so moving and sad.I hope that he does a good job in Presidencyin turning america around in the years.
