End Of Term Reflection

The area of my learning that I have made the most progress on is maths because I have gotten better at graphing linear rule and interpreting slopes and I got to extended abstract in model and solve linear equations. The area I most want to improve next term is my writing because I am not very confident in my writing.

making choices




  • This video shows two girls underage drinking. 
  • The influences on this decision are the media (commercial discount at the liquor store), family (sister buys her alcohol), and friends (friend peer pressures her into drinking). 

writing

When we got to the airport, it was still dark. We parked at the front and unloaded all of our suitcases onto the sidewalk and Christie went to park the truck. We most likely were not going to see her again because by the time she parked the truck and got herself checked in, we would already be on the plane to Los Angeles, California.

I choose this paragraph because it has a lot of detail.

maths


I think I am at extended abstract because I have created something to show others how to model and solve linear equations.

my writing

Media
The media can also influence your decisions. Some of these ways are by false advertising.False advertising is when the media "stretches the truth' (lies) to get you to buy or do something. Another way is by making the product than it actually does. This is mainly used in resturant/ fast food commercials.In McDonalds ads, the food looks much better than it actually does when you buy it. Clearly, the media is not the best choice for decision making. 

Reflection
This piece of writing shows how I have been using descriptive words in my writing. For example I have used Clearly in the last sentence to show my opinion.
