Writing Goal: I have to use more details and slow the story down so that the readers can picture it in their minds.
I'm halfway there. I have used more details in my writing but haven't really slowed the story down before the climax. One example of me using details in my writing is when I described the boat Ahaanious (main character) used to get to Pluton Island (headquarters of the antagonist). When I got near the climax, I haven't slowed down the story. I haven't captured every single thing the characters do right before the climax. So my next step is to slow the story down during important moments so the readers can picture it.

RLA Reading/Writing Goals
Reading Goal
Goal: I will move from the easy-just right area to the just-right challenging area.
I haven't really moved much. I have moved from the easy-just right area to the just-right area, but not to the just-right challenging area. I've made progress, but not enough to accomplish this goal.
Writing Goal
Goal: I have to use more details and slow the story down during the heart of the story so that the readers can picture the scene in their minds.
I haven't wrote another personal narrative. This goal is from when I wrote the first personal narrative of the year. I haven't wrote one since.

Lab E
Why did the letter "e" look inverted under a microscope?
The "e" looked different under a microscope because you are looking at a magnified reflection of the letter "e". So to the naked eye, the letter "e" looks like this: e. And the letter "e" under a microscope looks like this: ∂.
A microscope has different lenses. This is what the letter e looks like under one of the 4 lenses. When you look at it with the naked eye, it looks solid and dark. But when you look at it through a microscope, it looks very clear, not very solid, and has gaps in inside the e.

Fraction Division (3/4 ÷ 1/8)
3/4 ÷ 1/8
First, understand the question. 3/4 ÷ 1/8 is another way of saying how many groups of 1/8 are in 3/4.
Second, start solving it. You should start by finding the reciprocal of 1/8 which is 8/1. Remember, you are finding the reciprocal of 1/8 because it is the divisor. When dividing fractions, you always find the reciprocal of the divisor. The answer is 24/4
Finally, simplify your answer. 24/4 = 6.

Egypt Museum Project Reflection
1. How well did you feel that you as an individual and as a group-member were at solving this challenge? (Problem: How might you create an interactive exhibit that will encourage young visitors to care about the civilization of ancient Egypt)
I felt that I did an ok job with my interactive exhibit. I thought of an idea that was ok, trading with my boat. It's interactive because I'm using the boat to do something, not just looking at me. As a group-member, I felt that I did an ok job too. I had given feedback to the people in my group about their interactive exhibit idea. Overall, I think I did an ok job.
2. Describe your learning process from start to end...as an individual, and as a group-member.
As an individual, I first looked at different books to find artifacts related to my characteristic which was technology. I found many artifacts. After getting a little background of the artifacts, I choose one that I found most interesting. From there I researched about that artifact and used the information to make my artifact caption and my artifact.
3. What aspect(s) of the project challenged you the most?
The researching challenged me the most since I choose the cargo boat. It would be easier to research if I choose someone's cargo boat so it would be more specific. So I looked on the internet to find an owner. It was hard but I found an owner. Now there was another problem that challenged me, researching on that specific boat. It was difficult researching information about the artifact since there was not much information about that artifact. So that is why the researching phase of this project challenged me the most.
4. What are you most proud of?
I am most proud of myself and my group. I think that we did a great job making our artifact and putting everything together. I think that my group showed the visitors how important our characteristic was.

5. What part(s) of the overall experience do you think you will remember the most?
I think that I will remember sharing information to the visitors the most. Teaching them about my artifact will be the experience I will remember the most.
