IR Assignent Goals
My goals for this assignment were to atleast finish some of the assignment but it was mainly to see whether or not I would be able to finish the whole assignment but I didn't which is sad but here are the assignments that I finished.
Character Portrait Description
For this assignment we made portraits of characters from a book that we've read in the past adn for my character portrait I chose the book The Outsiders the reason for me doing this assignment on this character is because the main character in the story is a boy around 14 years old and he and his friend Johnny go to an abanndoned chuch in Texas in order to hid from the police because Johnny killed a "Socs". After the portrait was finished I felt like I didn't do a great job of showing the potential that I could have drawn for this character.
Letter To the Author
For this assignment we had to write a leer to the author in ordr to send feed back for the book that we did the book on and we had to be able to give feed back and give our opinions on the book. The book tha I did this assignment for was Peter and the Shadow Theives I chose this book because I love Peter Pan, he is one of my favorite fictional characters. For the letter to the author I thought of it as chance for me to actually write out how I feel about something on paper, and you know I love it if I get carried away and tell the whole story, also when people write things on paper they tend to get emotional and I think that writting is important for people because you comunicate with people that might not be able to recive phone calls or text messages. When I write I sometimes have a hard time writting because I either have a hard time thinking about what to write or I'm disracted by th thoughts that run though my head when people tal about me. See I got carried away.
Movie Proposal
This is my movie proposal for the book Peter and The Shadow Thieves for this assignment I thought it would be a good idea to make a proposal for a character that I liked espesially if it is a different story line because it gives the character a bit more "spice" what I mean by "spice" is to make the character a bit more well known. For the movie proposal we had to lst out actors fo the characters and we had to pick a setting so that the movie will have a location for it to be in. The locations I picked were Hawaii for Neverland, and England for he London part of the book.
Inspiring Song
When we started this I thought yay music but then I head that we might have to share these with other people my expresion went from happy to worried Because when it comes to me explaining myself in music I don't really want to because I feel uncomfortable when it comes to doing things like that. The song I chose is called "That's Not My Name" by The TingTings. I chose this song because people are constantly misspelling my name or they call me something else that sounds like my name and that irritated me.
CER (Claim, Evidence, Reason)
For this assignment we had to write about a thing and for that thing we had to give reasons why it was good or bad because when we presented it to other people then we had to get our point across and figure out a way to convince people that it could have been something good. The thing that I chose for this assignment is rice with milk or in spanish aros con leche which is a food or drink that you could eat hot or cold which on a hot day you eat it cold and if you're sick then you eat it hot.

WRITING PORTFOLIO
At This Moment I am...
For the at this moment I am essay we had to write an essay about what we are doing at this very moment so for example, At this moment I am giving you an example of an at this moment I am essay. Like that but only we had to write what other things were happening.
Anthropological case study
For the anthropological case study we had to have a partner so that we could learn more about the people that we work with and we could be able to learn more about the person and there daily life. It sounds weird but it is actually an assignment so that we could see how well we could observe the person and we could make friends with them. And you get to know them better.
P.O.L/ D.O.L/ C.O.L
This week we had to watch other grade levels do there P.o.l, D.o.l, and C.o.l. The presentations or discussions were interesting and very informative because I learned about the people and the way they learn and the way they live at home and the way they work with other people. We had to watch a 10th, 11th, and a 12th grade presentation and write about it here in the dp. P.O.L
Original Poem
The original poem that we used for our Dia De Los Muertos project was put together by all of the poems that the other people in the group made before hand during a different assignment that we did.
Promise to life poem
As we made our celebration slam poem Ms.Britt had us make a promise to life for us to include in our poem for our celebration slam.
Vignettes
The vignettes that we worked on while we were reading The House on Mango Street were very interesting and they were very weird and I had a great time reading them. link for vignettes
