What I Will Rewrite

I will rewrite my middle school myth that I did at the beginning of the year simply because I want to see my progress in writing throughout the whole year. Also, I will like to edit that piece of work because, frankly, I believe it's not the best.

I will do it by adding new ideas, vocabulary and details that could enrich the work. This will show my learning throughout the year.

My Passion

My passion

When people ask me what my passion is, I don't know what to tell them. Of course I like many things, but I don't think they are my passions. A passion is something you never get tired of doing. Something that you need to find as you grow up. In my case, I haven't found what my passion is yet. You could say that I am "shopping for a passion".

I will tell you about the things I like. I live to do sports, especially volleyball and tennis, I adore playing video games such as Fifa 12,and I like to spend time with my friends and family.

In this portfolio you will experience my works in school and my expedition to finding my passion.

Obstacles for My School

The main obstacles I see in our new school are the following:

• The student-teacher coordination will be tricky. Even if the student arranges the class beforehand, the teacher might not always be available 24/7 and that will limit the liberty of the "free schedule". 
• If, somehow, a class is not taken into consideration, a whole period of a day will be lost and the student will have to work after hours or in the weekends to solve that problem. 
• Irresponsible students will not have any classes planned for the day and, therefore, the whole purpose of responsibility and free schetules will be lost. 
• If a teacher is not available a day, the classes he/she programmed will be cancelled. 

3 Best Works of the Year

The first important project of the year was the Little Bird Tales in English. It consisted of writing a myth about a school problem and then post it in Little Bird Tales. This was a great project because it was one of the first assignments that required a Web 2.0 tool. I think this fact is what motivated me to do better. I was tired of pencils and paper so I was eager to use technology to show my show my work.

The next one was a Social Studies project in which we had to create Angient Roman baseball cards and some paragraphs describing which one is better. I think this was the best Social Studies project because it was the time I discovered the potencial of my iTouch. I did all this in Keynote for iPod Touch. What gave me motivation was the topic: Ancient Rome. Since I am very interested in this empire, I added a little more effort to the assignment.

The most recent major project I've had is a Spanish-Computers FIFA 12 proyect. I had to use a great variety of programs in order to complete that proyect. It was the best proyect because I mastered my use many important programs such as Adobe premiere Elements, iMovie, Excel. etc.  Also, I was greatly motivated by the fact that is was about FIFA 12, my favorite video game.
