Line Graph

I am blogging this because I spent lots of time on it and I am proud of it. The challenging part of the task was getting the dots in the right place. The good thing about it is that I got it done to my personal best, plus it was hard.

This line graph is showing the data of the mean yearly rainfall in between the 1981 and 2010 period. We were learning to make a line graph.    

Reflections (Weeks 2,3,4)

In this blog post we were learning to Reflect on our learning in the past week, but I decided to put in the blog post 3 reflections from the past three weeks. I am posting this because I think it is a really cool idea and I am proud of the reflections that I have done.

Week 2 Reflection by Hugh

WALT reflect on our learning

Write your reflection about these three headings this week Use the prompts and questions as a guide.

1. My Learning I am proud of my literacy poem because I think I worked really hard on it and I am proud of it. I enjoyed learning more and more about Lorde and also watching all the videos. What I found challenging was taking the notes from all the texts we got given.

2. Learning Buddy

I am good at being there for him if he need's help. I reckon he is good at getting things on the tracking sheet.  He has lately been awesome with his attitude and has been respecting me like an awesome learning buddy.

3. Managing Self-Time

I am going very well with my tracking sheet. I am on number 4 on the self management rubric. I am moving away when I am getting distracted by friends more often than last term. I spend my time wisely and try to get most of my work done.

Week 4 Reflection by HughWALT reflect on our learning

Learning Superpower	What I Did Well	My New Goal
Learning Buddy	I got focused on with my work and helped him out when he was stuck.	To help him even more and talk things through with him instead of just doing it for him.
Time Management	Moved away from friends when I got distracted.	To get more on the tracking sheet faster.
Literacy	Got all my literacy tasks done fast.	To get them done to my very personal best.

*Note: you choose which is the third learning superpower you want to reflect on. It could be an area of learning or something else that helps you learn.

Lorde poem

I am posting this because I am really really proud of it. I made my normal piece of writing into a pic collage while using different tools on the app. We were learning to inform the reader by taking notes and putting them into sentences.
