During this project of me trying to figure out how to make the perfect loaf of sourdough bread, I hope to learn the science behind baking. I want to figure out what adding more or less baking soda and powder will do to my tasty creation. I want to take this on because I have always loved baking however, I have never put much thought into the background of it. I feel that something so beloved to me should be something I grow to know and understand.

I will think critically about the significance of different ingredients and how they can change the roots of my bread.

My proposed outcome to this project is to bake my way to the perfect sourdough bread. I will be able to demonstrate this successfully by showing pictures and writing about how I changed my ingredients as I went along in this project. I will most likely make a poster with my transformations that includes writing.

In between each update, I am assuming that I will make 1-2 attempts at sourdough. The goal for my final project is a little different than usual because whatever my outcome is, I’m assuming that it will be better than the first I made. If that is so, I have succeeded with my work.

 

Right now Dylan and I are working on planning out our upcoming podcast as our final way to show you all what we have learned. We are also working out what aspects to put on our poster. We have been educating ourselves about the three signs that everyone has. The sun sign, moon sign, and rising signs! I am also planning on doing another poll on my story, however i’m not sure the question i’m going to ask yet.

We are the sharks, we eat animals and the animals eat plants and others. We need to bring animals for protein instead of carbs like breads. The plants and others are at the bottom of the food chain just like the seaweed. From the shark tank simulation we learned that you want a lot of seaweed or whatever is on the bottom of the food chain because the middle animal like the minnows eat the seaweed and when they eat more than enough they reproduce, which makes the biggest animal like us or the shark eat enough so it reproduces too, which makes us full!

 

 

Welcome to your brand new digital portfolio/blog at blogs.lrei.org!

Your portfolio can be used for many things through out your middle and high school years, including:

• Documenting and reflecting on your learning, passions, and interests, both in and out of school
• Curating and highlight work for your Family Conferences
• In some instances, your teachers will ask you to submit, reflect and comment on work in this portfolio

It is our hope that you also seek to make this a personally relevant learning space in which you curate work that is important and meaningful to you. As you build this learning space, we also hope that you will use it as a way to connect with other learners in the LREI community and beyond.

Your LREI account (Mail, Docs/Drive) credentials will automatically get you into your blog. Here are a few things you’ll want to take a look at:

1. Change the name of your blog. To do this, go back to the Dashboard and click on the “Home” symbol, then on “MS Digital Portfolio Template” under “This Blog.”

In the field for “Site Title,” add a new title. You can use your first name if you want (e.g., “Mark’s Digital Portfolio”), but don’t use your first and last name. You can also create a title that doesn’t have your name in it. Be as creative as you want, but keep in mind that the title should relate to the purpose of the portfolio.

After you’ve added a new title, click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.

 

2. Add a Post

For the most part, you’ll be adding items to your blog as posts. To add a new post, you can click on the +New button in the top bar of your blog, and then select “Post.”

You’ll want to give each post a title, and assign it to a Category. These categories are broken down by class and grade (e.g., fifth grade, core, etc.). This will allow you to organize and sort information so that you can control the look and feel of your blog. If you take a look at the menu bar under the blog title, you see the different groups of categories (e.g., class, grade, teacher, etc.).

When you’re done with your post you can click “Publish” on the side to make the post appear on your blog
