Early Humans and Us Thinglink Reflection
This is a reflection on Early Humans and Us project I did in humanities class.
What I think I did well on was my infographic because I really like the format of a timeline I did and the information was short and quite related and useful.
What I think didn’t went as expected was that when I researched, I researched the wrong information that was about food but not so related to my big research question. This shortened my research time.
I would change my oral reflection video because I think I didn’t use enough hand movement, got lost in the middle and was kind of reading the script, which is boring for the audience.
Early Humans and Us research project
In humanities class, we did a research project about how early humans and modern humans are connected from three aspects: community, technology and diet. My research topic is diet and my research question is how does the use of fire or heat affect our relationship with food throughout history. Here is my Thinglink project.
Metaphor Map
We did a metaphor map project in humanities where we use a land form in nature and connect it with things in our lives using metaphor. We draw our map on an A3 paper and have to include: the tittle, legend(key) and compass rose. Here are the metaphor’s I have and the meaning of each one.
Chinese is a plain because I think it’s not hard, not that fun and just normal.
Piano is a mountain because I’ve been climbing for 4-5 years and finally finished piano 8th grade.
Reading is a valley because reading makes me feel calm and far away from the mountains.
My worries are a river because there are always worries coming in and coming out.
Time is volcano because I often ran out of time and got really stressed out.
My room is an oasis because after a tiring day, it is where I get refreshed and relaxed.
Badminton is and island because it’s not big but quit important.
School is a forest because the amount of things going on is like the forest of trees.
Homework is a desert because there always more and more and more to do.
Ocean are my thoughts because there are always ideas, thoughts deep like ocean.
I am From a Black and White Secret Garden and Boxes of Puzzles
This is my Where I’m From poem we worked on in class. We started by looking some Where I’m From poems other people or authors wrote, it’s is hard to understand at first. Then we listed 7 different things that is special to ourselves in different categories. Then we made the words into sentences and into the poem we have now. Ms. Shannon showed us the poem a student from last year did for example. I think coming up with some things that is special to me is quit hard especially the special items.
How I feel about middle school?
I like middle school so far because we got much more independent time and the lunch is much more better than the elementary school lunch.
