Q1 Enspañol Benchmark

For Q1 benchmark, we had to create our own survival guide.This benchmark had to b

e based on what we learned for the first quarter of the school year.This benchmark was fairly easy,but it

only would be if you knew your spanish , and if you payed attention.Also from doing this benchmark, at the

very same time, it helped us to get better at our spanish because if you think about it, while your doing your

survival guide, your also studying the spanish because you are continuousley looking over the words and

pharases.

My survival guide dealed with all of the most important things that i learned in that first

quarter. For instance the main things that i put on my survival guide was the mood,how to ask for

things.We had other choices but i choose the main ones so that i could make the benchmark more easier

for me.I thought that i could of had did better though.If i could do this over again, i sure would.

By doing this benchmark over, i could learn things that i didnt learn before.For example,i

could learn from myself that i had a skill to be able to figure out different ways to set up a survival Guide as

a brochure instead of as a book.

Q1 Biochem Benchmark

For Q1 benchmark,i enjoyed learning about the different scientist, and what they

did. Throughout this whole benchmark, im quite sure that my classmates, and i learned some kind of important

information from one another.Even though we had to do a lot of reading, researching, and examining ,editing, and

writing, it all payed off in the end.Having to actually create your own power point with a fellow classmate and

expose it to your pupils, gives you a warming sensation that you are someone, and that you can become whatever it

is that you would like to be.

For me, when i accomplished this benchmark, i felt asthough, i was a scientist myself

describing how i overcame my obstecles to present the powerpoint that my partner and i had presented.I even

learned something from myself and from my classmates by doing this benchmark.After this benchmark, i started to

realize how people can really go into detail , like as we did with our scientist power point and literally explain what

the scientist did that changed or help our world become what it is now,as if we were them.My partner and i did our

benchmark on Albert Einstein, and we both felt as though we were him , explaining what formulas he came up

with and many more.Also this gave me a coming to life experience instead of reading it straight out of a book.If i

had to do this benchmark again, i would without a doubt.

Repeating this benchmark over can also help me learn things better.For instance, from

watching all of the other groups present their scientist,it gave me an visual picture of what they were talking

about.By having this learned visually ,it helped actually bring the benchmark alive as if we were there with the

scientist when everything happened.Overall, i enjoyed participating in this benchmark,and i will encourage others

to do the same.

Q1English Benchmark

For Q1 benchmark, My stream was given a project to create a magazine.Not only

did we have to create a magazine ,it had to be based on a letter to the teachers,which was Mr.Chase ,

and Ms.Wawa about our old school experience. Also ,we had to include something that was

outstanding about us that someone just needed to know and many more.By doing this project, i think

this helped opened up our minds a little to exllorate the feeling of what we were going to do in our 9th

grade year, and many more to come.As a class, i would say that we all was fasinated by the idea of

constructing our own magazine.Just by thinking about it gave every one of us our own unique ideas of

how we were going to accomplish our own magazines.

When i did my magazine, i tried to put every aspect of myself into it. Such as ; my

intellegnce, creativeness, effort,ideas,and many more.Each one of my pages that i had displayed

always had something to catch your eye and to pull the reader more closer into a positive curiosity sort

of direction to me but on paper.Having me make my own magazine about me, had taught me

more,....about me!, which was a shocking expericence in a good way.If i had the choice of doing this

project over again,then i really would.

Doing this project over again to me is just expanding yourself even more to what

you dont know. For example, i could bet if i did this over, then i could learn something new.It dont have

to be about me just learning anything ,but it could be about me , learning my skills that i did not even

know that i had, just by doing this project.Im sure, that if anyone else does this kind of project, they will

enjoy it, and most likely would want to do it again.If you ask me, i sure would.

My History Benchmark

For Q1 benchmark,me and my partners participated in creating a scene of the late egypt days.Not

that we just had to act out for fun, it also tied in with what we were studying about at the time which was Ancient

Egypt.During the whole scene , we played different people that were mainly part of the economy,for instance, we

had characters;King Tut,King Tut’s Servant,a Priest ,Farmer,a Noble,and a Throughout this benchmark,i think that

i accomplished everything that i was supposed to.Having to actually act out a scene that i was at dinner with King

Tut was a very interesting experience, even though i did not really attend one of his dinners in real life.However, i

had a sort of feeling that my part as being the servant was not a very active part in playing.

For the benchmark, i was King Tuts Servant.In the beginning, i thought that it was the less

important role.Later on while working on accomplishing this scene with my partners, i learned from my advisor

Mr. Sherif,my partners and even myself,that i had the most important role of all.My role had to deal with

everything in the scene expect for really talking.Since it was acted out as being a very important dinner,and i was

the Servant,they kind of both tied in together,and with me being the servant, i kinda of did everything.Well, not

everything, but i was sort of the main character.Overall,by having this experience,it taught me things about

myself,and other people.If i had the choice to do this benchmark again,i would indeed.

If given a second chance to re-act this benchmark , i would take it,and change some things about it.For

instance, i would have forced the dressing code to my partners and even myself, in order to give the viewer a better

picture at what is going on.Also, i would have asked my other partners to really act out their character that they

were given,so that the scene would not eventually get boring and so it would not lose the viewers attention and

satisfaction.Redoing the Dinner With King Tut in a more improved way, can give me, and anyone else who

watches, a more easier way to understand and grasp the way a dinner would be in the ancient days,and understand

all the elements.
