This is my picture of my texture collage. It was made with six textures. See if you can spot them all. The process was to make my textures, draw the picture of a dog and a vase, lastly, I made the collage. I put all my effort into it and it turned out to be my best work. I used a secondary color scheme in my collage. That means I only used secondary colors. The color schemes are primary, secondary, and analogous.
These are pictures of my Zoetrope. It was hard to make them. I had to draw 24 panels. I only used 12 panels though. I learned how to sharpen a colored pencil. I also learned how to properly use a colored pencil. You go in light circles. I think it was my best work because I put a lot of effort into it.
This was one of my second quarter assessments. It is the most recent one. I got 2 3s, 1 4, and a 2.5. I think I did pretty well. I got one of the hardest questions right. If you get 28, which most people didn’t, you get the question correct. I learned that when the first four planets out from the sun are aligned, it is called a conjunction. Out of the 6 questions, I got 5 correct, on the one I got incorrect, the equation was true but I still got it incorrect. I think I should have gotten it correct. The equation was true and it was a possible answer to the question. But I have to go with the flow, sometimes everyone makes a bad call.
Lundi, le deux Novembre.
Monday, November 2.
This piece of work reflects my work so far this year in math because it is the end of quarter assessment and it shows how much I learned over this quarter. I was surprised that I got the entire assessment correct. I am also proud to say that I got everything correct. I was mainly challenged by division on assessments. My plan to improve in this area is to practice my strategies to get better at math.
In D.lab one Friday we were turned into a human computer. We had to name one part of the computer and then you and one other person became a human computer part. I named the CPU which is the brain of the computer. Eventually we got all the parts of the computers. I was the CPU the entire time with someone else. I noticed that the Hard drive and the peripherals had the hardest time. I learned not to say it’s taking so long, I had to wait 10 whole seconds.
I like my font because it is making letters come to life while giving them a snack. What I did to make it was I drew my original ideas first. I had to make the numbers 1-9 and 0, I also had to make all 26 letters uppercase and lowercase. The theme to my font was to give each character 1 juice box and a face. My font currently does not have a name.
Six kills each fight before dying. Statistics in Camp Half Blood show that if you have more kills than deaths, you are a good fighter. The hardest thing to deal with is being surrounded. It is hard because you can’t escape and you will get backstabbed. My proudest moment as a swordfighter was when it was Apollo versus all, so a five cabin versus one cabin battle. Back then there were six cabins but now there are 8 cabins.
“Charge,” Kai yells.
“Attack,” yell the other cabin leaders.
Every swordfighter in camp charges into the hill. I then get split up from my Apollo cabin mates. I think to myself, Oh no, I will get slaughtered. Then I hear,
“Kill him.”
Suddenly three warriors attack me and I dodge their attacks. One of them even has a shield<–(complaining voice). I think to myself, this battle did make us outnumbered 5 or 6 on one, but still it seems impossible to win this battle, and we will need a lot of pick offs, but at least we have the top 4 sword fighters.
“Help,” I yell.
But nobody hears me over the chaos of the battle. We fight every cabin battle in the valley, which is down a 15 foot hill that is not steep but is covered with leaves and woodchips. These battles are fought by sword fighters in camp with wooden shields and foam swords.I know I won’t survive forever. I see a moment and get a kill on the shielded warrior. I then am able to just barely dodge the wave of attacks. I felt helpless, but now I am a bit more confident after that kill and I need at least two kills in this battle for good stats. So I chop off one of an enemy warrior’s legs. I then immediately stab his chest and kill him. I feel lucky for two kills and am more confident. At this point in the battle, most warriors have been mowed down but we still have some elite warriors left. But the guy I was facing was also an elite warrior so I chop off one leg and then immediately go for his sword arm. Without his sword arm this guy is helpless and I stab his chest for the kill. I then am reunited with my cabin and we mow down every other warrior. That was my proudest moment as a swordfighter. In that year we had the highest quality sword fighters so we won the battles. We only lost one battle that entire year.
A challenge for me writing this piece was writing 2 pages just out of 1 sentence. I chose to share this piece on this blog because I worked hard not just to write, but to pick out the right seentence. I perservered in that piece because I just came in and pushed through the entire thing. It was mainly hard for me because writing for me is one of those subjects where I have a hard time just putting what is in my head on paper. I learned that I can do something if I set my mind to it.
Hey everybody, the video above is my Big Bang model. An accuracy about it was when we were the Anomoly. But no model is perfect, and an inaccuracy about my model was me saying galaxy instead of universe.
In recess currently I am mostly playing Football. I think I am getting better and the signs that I am are that I am starting to catch the ball more often. I also like recess because I can exercise and run. The best part about recess is that I get to do what I want. By Alon.
