MAP Growth READING Winter 2019 Overall RIT: 247 Spring 2019 MAP goal: 248 Lowest- Literary text: Key Ideas and details (238) I need to work on analyzing themes and predictions. MAP Growth MATH Winter 2019 RIT score: 238 Spring 2019 goal: 241 To raise my score, I'll improve my lowest strand. My lowest was Operations and Algebraic Thinking, at 235. Literacy This artifact, Colonist Justified or Not essay , is about the 13 colonies, and the breaking up of Britain and America. Through this, I gained a deeper understanding of why they split, The Stamp Act, and the Boston Tea Act. In order to successfully write this, I researched using the passages we were given, and decide whether or not i thought the colonist were justified. I wrote a rough draft, and then typed a final one on the computer. Standard: Conflict leading to revolutionary war. Colonist Justified or Not Essay System of Equations Numeracy The artifact I decided to use was the System of Equations writing prompt. I learned about the Three Systems of Equations, and wrote using the CEA format to a friend informing her how to use the system. This fits the Numeracy skill because in this I demonstrated my knowledge of the math standard, and how to correctly use it. Standard- Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations. Globally and Culturally Competent Citizen This artifact is a brochure I made to spread awareness of issues in our watershed, and how to prevent such things. Along with presenting this to the class, I put brochures around town ( on poles, in stores, at a gym, etc.) This shows that this artifact is fitting for the Globally and Culturally Competent Citizen skill because I researched a Community issue, that is also a problem around the world, and I spread the news around so it will make a impact. Beargrass Creek Brochure Standard- Biodiversity and Human Impacts Effective Communicator I learned about the 13 colonies, and the breaking up of Britain and America. I did this to show my knowledge of America's split, and of how to properly express my ideas. This helped me become an effective communicator because I clearly explained and conveyed the idea of the colonist being justified. It also shows that I used correct vocabulary to communicate my opinion on the topic. "Were The Colonist Justified?" Standard- Explain how colonial resistance to british control led to revolutionary war. Emerging Innovator The artifact I chose for Emerging Innovator is a poster I made with a group, about Georgia when it was a part of the 13 colonies. I chose this artifact because with my group, we researched the 13 colonies, set up how we wanted the poster, made it, then decorated it. This shows that I followed through with a "design process," making it suitable for the Emerging Innovator skill. Standard-Reason people came to the colonies. Productive Collaborator Standard: Biodiversity and Human Impacts The artifact I chose is the Bear-grass Creek Watershed project. I chose this for Productive collaborator because I worked with 2 other people, and we organized the project so the research and work was split evenly between us. We also presented it to the class, so we split our speaking parts even among us. This shows I can work well, and fair with others, making this artifact suitable for Productive Collaborator. For Service Minded Leader I chose a drive I did in Jr. Beta Club. For this, my partner and I created a box where we collected toiletries and everyday essentials that people could benefit from. We collected these items for kids in need, and the box was donated to them through Beta Club. Service Minded Leader Title Service Minded Leader This artifact shows that I demonstrate the Service Minded leader skill because putting something together for a good cause is something you can't go wrong with. I took a small amount of time out of my day to make someones day, and that demonstrates being a Service Minded Leader. Transition Readiness - Applied to go to Manual (VA) - More confident with my work - come long way quality wise - More comfortable with public speaking. - Teachers did well in pushing me to go above and beyond on assessments - I have reflected on myself and if I really am ready for High School. Why am I ready? How did This Defense Prepare Me?
