Reflections On a Years Worth of Projects

Projects We Have Done This Year So Far:

bullet Island Survival Project: this was a fun project because you get to make a island that you might want to live on or something. But you also have to do some work and use the given resources to survive in the wild. its fun to make and its not really that hard to do if you make a certain amount of time each day. The only struggle was that you had to find the exact location using latitude and longitude and tell the weather like if it has tropical storms or heavy rain based on the climate and weather of the land around it.

bulletEuropean Country PowerPoint Slide Show: on the power point you first have to get your information about your countries. Next you make a slide show using the facts you have gathered. On the web page you get to find cool backgrounds then you find the flags of the countries and compare there information on a bar graph.  My Slide Show.

 

bulletAfrica Website: this project is not quite as fun but is better that doing regular school work or just answering questions about facts in the text book. The first thing you do is gather information about your topic and put it in your own words. than you get to make a cool background and find some neat pictures to put on your web page. But the pictures have to have something to do with your topic. Then you can do cool things like add a hit counter so you can see how many people have been to your web page and a bunch of other things that make your web page better.  My Africa Page.

 

bullet European Country Project:  I didn't have too good of a experience because there was only me and one other boy in my entire class. You have to make models like ships and temples. They look really hard but they really aren't that difficult. Most of the projects are pretty neat and don't really take up much time to do so its not really as hard as it seems.

Latin America Postcard:  This was fun and easy. It was cool because you got to pick a country you liked and write about it and get pictures for it.
