Resilience project reflection

I think that I should get an A because I tried hard to do my spoken word because I really didn’t know how to make a poem or a rap. That was my first time doing a poem and I think that I did well on it. Some of my words rhymed on the poem while I was telling the background of the resilience people. I am really proud of what I did.
I think that my partner and me did well on connecting the two resilience people to what they both did. Our two resilience people that we did were George Benedict (Andrews grandfather) and Cesar Chavez. The connection that they both had was that they both we people who survived and overcame their childhood struggles.
I think that I did well on working on my lyrics for the song that I did that is called “ The Past”. For the song that I did I used facts to write the part of Cesar Chavez and I used Andrews help to write the part about his poem. I did do some rhyming.
For the book page I supported facts with evidence. I told how Cesar Chavez helped out a lot of people. I think that I did well on the book page also. I tried my best to do the book page right.

Project Reflection

Knowledge-Toolbox
For this project, I made the art piece and Nolberto wrote the song. Overall, on my artpiece I meet and maybe slightly exceeded expectation. I did not know what to make until Mrs. Staff brought in the light ficture that looked like a window. I got the idea of using it to show scenes from history. Because my priject was bigger than most I needed to stay after school a couple of days to get it done. In the end, I really like my art piece.

Presentation-Professionslism
My presentaion of my artwork was "professional". I dressed nicely and showed up at resience cafe`. I talked to all of the parents and 6th graders that came to see my artpiece. I think that most of the people that came to see my art piece understood what it represents and what its meaning is.

Polished Writing
I bieleve that I have a polished piece of writing. by reading my description and looking at my art piece can get what the meaning of my project is. The writing has no typos and has been edited by a few different people.

I am proud of my work on this project and I think that I meet the expectaions of the project.
