11th Reflection

Day 15

Today I started by helping Ahmad find the information and the books again. Then I decided I got to do something this lesson so I looked at the books and said theirs no use so I ent back to my table. Mohammed a friend of mine came over and said I found alot of information bout social class and variety of jobs and I said which book since I barely had any cards of those categories. So he told me and I took the book and he showed me the information and I started writing and I still haven't finish, so thanks to him I got lots of information. I think I behaved well and listened to the teacher this time and no talking except to Mohammed to get the nesesary information.

10th Reflection

Day 14

Today I found no information and now I am sure I have checked every boo k about Mesopotamia and gave it to him.I think we should start to go to the lab. Today was not my best behaviour, people kept talking to me but I had to move since the teacher thought it was my fault. I also helped my friend Ahmad, he needed help on finding info. on goverment and law and art arcitecture so I helped him out by findind the info. on the book and giving it to him. and it was slightly easier since he was doing the same civilization. I found two books one that told some art and arcitecture and the other that some info. about goverment. Then I looked at some of the other books to see if I missed any information.

9th Reflection

Day 13

Today I finshed with the book and looked for more books with information but there weren't any left so I just looked again and again until I saw Numair put a book in a different place and there was the book I wanted to see but the bell had rang and I think that might be the last book that could help me know more about mesopotamia. After that I think I need to start research on the computer and I only have 10 note cards. I behaved and listened to the teacher and today I didn't even talk.

8th Reflection

Day 12

Today I spend the whole lesson writnig from the book, it has so much about religion that I still have to write about it. I also spend some of the lesson talking to my classmate which was not good but I stopped and continued my work. That same friend told me that he wants the book but told him I am going to finish the book first. I behaved well and listened to teacher after the talk with my friend. Hopefully I will get enough information at the end of this project.

7th Reflection

Day 11

I listened and behaved well. I finish writing the information but I don't have many note cards written on(done 7 only), I think I need to start on the computers or I won't have any thing to write on the note cards or anything good on my reflections.

6th Reflection

Day 9 & Day 10


Those two days where not the best two days, I barely got any information the whole time until I saw the last book about Mesopotamia but it didn't help much until I put it back and Numair gave it back to me. Then I finally got some information, I will continue about it torrorow but I think if we don't start working on the computer late this week, I might have to just go to sleep. I behaved pretty well those two days. I need more information because the books have basicly the same information.

5th Reflection

Day 8

From now on we have to go to the library until further notice, so when I got there I grabbed a three books and looked through them but only one was useful. I looked at a few more books and they were sort of useful. Then when I was writing on my bibliorgraphy note I notised I missed some info., some wasn;t there. I couldn't find the missing info. because the book was with some one else, I think it was with the librarian explaining to the other class because I checked the shelfs and the other students didn't have the book, I checked. So I took another book and I finally found a book that had the information I was looking for. I behaved well except were I was talking with my friends about the work but I did listen.

3rd Reflection

Day 4, Day 5 & Day 6

Day 4 :we went our teacher Mr. Sparks had a problem but I won't talk about it since it has nothing to do with my project. Today he had three different color folders(light blue, dark blue and pink). I choose dark blue and put my name, name of the folder, hummanities and my teacher. Then he gave us six sticky pockets where we could put in our note cards when we started writing. We labeled each one, the first one was called Introduction, the second characteristic 1(the first characteristic you chose), the third characteristic 2, fourth characteristic 3, fifth Conclusion and sixth bibliography. We even wrote our questions on the sticky pocket. I listened well and behaved well too.Then we got a sheet about ancient egypt with some information on it and a summary and a few bullet points on it for the later presentation we have to do. When we flipped the sheet more information was there and this time we had to summerize it and write the bullet points. I behaved and listened well and also completed my work like all the other days.
Day 5: Today we went to multimedia lab 4 & Mrs. Bolonger showed us how to make a new blog and link it to our qa wikispaces. Then we did our work and had to start writing our reflection which I did later.
Day 6: Today Mr. Sparks told us alittle info. about the project and then the class asked a few questions. Then we had to get books and start finding info., so I took five books and one really helped but I didn't get enough time to finish my second note card and I also had to change my place because I was talking to my friends when accually I was telling my cousin Numair to return my stuff because he borrows them withouty asking. Other then that I behaved well and listened to my teacher like I usuallt do, no mean to brag.

2nd Reflection

Day 3

Today we went to the library during class and the librarian told us how to find the bibliography of a book. Then we had the rest of the lesson to look through books of ancient civilization to try and find which one suits our questions. I heard and listened every thing the teacher said and I think I behaved well.

1st Reflection

Day 1 & Day 2

I think I behaved well in class and listened to the teacher(s) but I had alot of trouble coming up with the questions. I couldn't come up with eight question for each characteristic, so I thought I was going to do the questions and relflection at home but that was not what I wanted. It was easy coming up with the first few questions but it got alot tougher at the end. I even had to change my third characteristic(had to make eight questions for three characteristics) from education to religion because I had more questions for it. I think overall I did good in class, I even wrote this reflection before all the questions but I improved it when I got them all. I didn't copy the questions off the projector since they almost had nothing to do with the characteristics I had chosen. Haad and Ahmed helped me with the last questions.
